As was noted by First Take’s Max Kellerman who stated, “Right now, in many ways, the quarterback is a tackling dummy,” and then followed up his comments with, “Colin Kaepernick was one Richard Sherman-batted pass away from going to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances.”
Nonetheless, it must be said right up front — Colin Kaepernick is not the answer.
Kaepernick is not the 49ers’ quarterback of the future, and he is certainly not the QB fans were hoping he would become when he took over as the starter back in 2012.
Yet, he may still be the best QB available heading into 2017.
