Go to the 49er Webzone, where I stopped going (I am slowly converting to a full time Redskin fan since moving from California). Over half the members cite his 2012 as the reason Kaepernick is a top 10 QB and the fact the 49ers were 30th in passing yardage is because of poor play calling, a bad
o-line and bad receivers. Nothing to do with the fact Kaepernick sucks.His downfall was when they put a spy on him, he can't seem to find the void in the pass coverage the spy leaves, he is also a one read QB, locks on receivers and takes off feeling pressure that isn't there. It took a
while to expose his flaws. Unlike Griffin, Kaepernick has suffered no major injuries.
I think some fans have either a blind bias or don't understand parts of the game very well. It is very obvious when it comes to people grading pass protection. Most of the time I heard about Peyton Manning always having
the best offensive line because he doesn't get sacked much, at the same time the 49er line sucked because Kaepernick was sacked so much.
If you paid attention you would realize Manning only makes small moves in the
pocket so his lineman know where he is at all times, they are never going to
block someone into him and he is not going to run into a sack. He also makes
very quick decisions, it is hard to get to even an immobile QB who gets the ball out as fast as Manning.
Kaepernick moves around a lot even without real pressure, his lineman don't
know where he is half the time. The ball will still be in his hands well past when Manning has already thrown it. He often locks on a receiver and waits for them to get open, many times holding the ball way too long, if the
receiver doesn't get open he tries to run up field.
Moral of the story, if you put Manning and Kap behind the same line and called
the same plays Kap gets sacked 2-3x more than Manning. The blind Kap homers don't see that. I think the ones who think RG3 2012 will return are
cut from the same mold, they don't see his flaws, at least there aren't that many of them. (Aren't that many blind faith RG3 supporters)
