I'm sick of this Kaepernick bullshit. It's revisionist history. He wasn't some kind of OMFG amazing prospect in that draft. He was an incredibly raw athlete with great measurables. Give the 49ers credit for drafting him because they deserve some of it, but they could not have expected him to play as well as soon as he did.
Harbaugh appears to be a hell of a QB coach, but he's also not a flawless talent evaluator. Andrew ****ing Luck was not his first choice at Stanford. He settled for Luck after he lost out on Gabbert.
People overlook how important luck is to this process as well.
