Montana on Kap: 'Have to anticipate ... can't hold the ball'

Hall of Famer Joe Montana wants to see 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick do a better job of simply getting rid of the football.

The 49ers’ pass protection has come under fire through three games this season. And Kaepernick said just a few days before his four-interception performance against the Arizona Cardinals that he is being asked to be himself, which has placed him in a comfort zone.

On Saturday, the 49ers quarterback who was known for his impeccable timing told Dan Brown of the San Jose Mercury News that Kaepernick is guilty of holding the ball too long as a passer.
