He was instrumental in helping Kaepernick understand the playbook and the weekly game plans. Kaepernick said as much and thanked him for it.
Alex is the right mentor, just not the guy you want to build your super bowl contender around. Bridgewater could have learned bunches from Alex, and Alex is a nice guy enough to teach him. Killer instinct guys like Joe Montana make lousy mentors, which is why he didn't help Steve Young. Alex is a nice guy who readily accepts training his replacement.
He is a perfect QB mentor.
A lot of coaches can't play but they know the mental side and communicate it. Sort of think of Alex like that as a mentor to a young developing QB behind him. Alex is the perfect mentor.
