Kaepernick

How do you lose a game you're up 17-0?

a) No pass rush
b) Your quarterback fumbles and throws 3 interceptions

The things that bug me most about Kaepernick:

1. He's dumb. He changed a play call at the line of scrimmage yesterday into a power run right up the middle that got stuffed for a 3 yard loss. I think he misreads the defense. Alex Smith would audible and we'd get 4-5 yard runs every time because he could see a mismatch. Same with Peyton Manning.

2. He's dumb. He gets an immature frustration penalty after making a turnover. That's a penalty for an offensive lineman or a cornerback. Not a QB. You can't get rattled or emotional as a QB. You need to be cool.

3. He puts too much on his shoulders. You can just see the guy trying to do too much out there. I hate athletes who play like this. They think they need to be the hero at all times, when instead they just need to play their game. I believe this the Jordan-effect, since all these guys were raised to believe Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time and mimic his style of hero-ball.

4. He can only play one way. He doesn't adjust what he's trying to do based upon the game situation. This is forgivable, but only great players can do this. Russell Wilson arguably does this as well as any QB in the league and might be his greatest strength. But when you're up big, turnovers are especially costly because they are the only way the other team can get back into the game. A turnover when you're pressing to score because you are behind -- well - this happens and is the result of needing to press. Even Kaepernick's last INT wasn't that bad -- it was sort of a freak play and we were behind. It was the first three turnovers that were killer.
