I don't get all of the Kaepernick love. Sure, he's big with a strong arm, but he stares at one spot on the field after taking the snap and doesn't throw the ball until the WR is open.
Just watch him on every play. He walks up behind the center, turns his head side to side too fast to really see anything (like he learned to look at the defense but doesn't quite understand why). He then takes the snap and looks at one part of the field and doesn't turn his head away for anything. If the receiver is covered, he just stands there staring at that same receiver until the receiver is open and then guns the ball in or he runs.
Kaepernick reminds me a lot of Tarvaris Jackson except Tarvaris wouldn't run and would take the sack.
I've got nothing for you. You've already made your mind up. If you'd like to be proven wrong, please see...
