Report: 49ers likely to jettison Kaepernick, for football reasons

Colin Kaepernick has suddenly become the most controversial player in the NFL because of his refusal to stand for the national anthem. But there may be another issue that could cost him his job in San Francisco: He’s not a very good quarterback.

Jay Glazer said on FOX that the 49ers are deeply concerned with Kaepernick’s decline as a player, which started last season when he struggled before getting benched, then got even worse this offseason when he lost significant muscle mass when he couldn’t work out following multiple surgeries.

“Regardless of politics or not, he has a very, very big uphill battle to make this team,” Glazer said. “I’d be shocked if he’s on the 49ers by the time this season ends. It has nothing to do with political views whatsoever. He lost a ton of weight this offseason, had three surgeries, couldn’t work out, lost that double threat, that size-speed ratio. No political views, he just hasn’t been effective. He’s regressing as a player. I’d be shocked if he’s on this roster by the end of this year. He may not be on it in the next two weeks.”

Kaepernick’s contract guarantees him an $11.9 million salary this season, and ordinarily a player with an $11.9 million guaranteed salary isn’t going to get cut. But if the 49ers really think Kaepernick has regressed to the point where they’d be better off with Blaine Gabbert starting and Christian Ponder and Jeff Driskel backing Gabbert up, then they can save a little money by cutting Kaepernick and hoping he signs with another team, as they would be able to reduce that $11.9 million by the amount of Kaepernick’s salary with a new team.

So there are football reasons that the 49ers might want to get rid of Kaepernick. At this point, they probably wish they had done so before this weekend’s non-football controversy.

Never liked him. Fisher figured him out. Keep him in the pocket with pressure.

People rag on Fisher a lot but how many careers has he cut short, ended or just figured out a player?

Kevin Kolb
Colin Kaepernick
Peyton Manning
Russell Wilson
Josh McCown
Sam Bradford
Ect.

Please, lets not discuss politics, religion and football.

In a league where scum like Greg Hardy, Ray Lewis, and Mike Vick can get on 2nd teams, Colin Kaeperwhatever seems like a choir boy.

Don't know about Hardy but Ray was not guilty and the Vick incident was some damn dogs I wouldnt call him scum for that.. Colin Did nothing wrong at all not even a little bit

He had the right to not stand during the National Anthem and the Whiners have the right to cut his ass.

Since I started this thread, I can also finish it. Some here cannot restrain themselves and follow basic instructions, sigh. SMH

Just to be clear...

Let's keep the Sackorpick Anthem topic to ourselves. Everyone has a right to their own opinion on it... we just don't want to hash through that here. The topic just leads to politics for the most part and we try to steer as clear from politics and religion as we can.

I appreciate everyone helping to keep that out of here.
