49ers place QB Colin Kaepernick on IR

And he'll be gone this off season with that move.

Ouch!

Could explain some of his problems this season but most likely will not preclude the team from moving on during the off-season. With the mixed messages behind the "Breathe" comments of Tomsula and the response by Kap of not knowing what the HC meant by that; the whole backstory has me wondering if this move was necessary or not.

Looks like this was a voluntary move by Kap:

Looks to me like he pulled a Mallet.

Does this mean his contract for next year is guaranteed?

On the bright side, Jed just saved another $875k.

Pulled a mallet? So your saying he found a doctor to completely compromise his ethics an just cut open a human being for the fun of it and to get off a roster? He's having surgery Tuesday for a severely torn Labrum

So he has a "severely torn labrum" but was listed as PROBABLE by the 49ers yesterday. Hmmm . . . :1:

It was his "non-throwing shoulder" and Kaepernick "told the 49ers Friday he wanted to have [the] surgery."

What are you talking about? He'll have plenty of time to visit the HOF now.

Niners are gonna be on the hook for $17,000,000 next season with next to no return on investment.

Are you sure? I thought it was a team friendly contract?

I thought it was a cut and wave contract each season.

RW's new backup ... as T.J won't return next season.

The surgery actually helps the team. If he passes a team physical then he can be cut and not cost the 49ers another dime.

Honestly though... do feel a bit bad for him. He might not be the good Samaritan that Russ is, but he's not a terrible guy. He was a couple plays away from big career wins over a couple years and now he will be starting over...

He would have to recover prior to April 1st which I doubt will happen. Torn labrum surgery has a long recovery time and April is just over four months away.

He just stubbed his camel toe...
