Except Colin Kaepernick IS NOT Joe Montana.
Montana: a superb leader, a phenomenal champion, and one of the best QBs to play the game.
For a 49ers fan, I think you should drop dead for even mentioning them in the same breath.
You're missing the point of the comparison. The argument was that it definitionally reflects poorly on a QB or a team if the fullback is as big of a part of the passing gamea as Bruce Miller is/was. The response was an example of a HOF QB and a Super Bowl winning team having a fullback who was a much bigger part of the passing game than Miller is/was.
It's not comparing Kaepernick to Montana. Instead it's using Montana as an example to point out the flaw in the argument. Should we reconsider Joe Montana's talent and that teams Super Bowl victory because Rathman caught a bunch of passes? If not the argument is flawed.
