I fucking hate the mythologizing of Kaepernick by race-baiting faggots like Spike Lee because the truth is:
1) The Niners were one dropped punt away form going to the super bowl with Alex Smith the year before Kaepernick took over and were in first place when Smith got hurt the following year. Kaepernick didn't really make them any better, it's just that Kyle Williams and his feeble brain weren't around to botch obvious fair catch situations any more. For all we know Smith wins that super bowl if Harbaugh hadn't stabbed him in the back
2) His reputation is 90% based off that Green Bay game but it's pretty obvious in retrospect that that was just Dom Capers sharting himself because he never di anything like that ever again. The Packers never adjusted and kept playing like Kaepernick wanted to pass even though all their yardage was from rushes. There's a reason Capers never got another DC gig after he left Green Bay.
3) Unlike that Dumbass Capers, the rest of the league figured out pretty quickly that Kaepernick had no touch, was bad with progressing through his reads and would usually bail out and run unless someone was wide open. And it turns out being limited and* predictable really doesn't work against NFL defenses, hence the results in your pic. He was legitimately terrible by the end. A one-read fastball was all he had
4) He got benched for performance reasons, not politics. The kneeling started AFTER the team gave up on him. He was protesting losing his starting job. He dressed it up in liberal bullshit but he was just seething at being (deservedly) benched for a white guy with good hair
5) After that he deliberately sabotaged trades and free agent offers because he decided he'd rather play martyr than actually have to compete since Nike was right behind him with a bunch of endorsement money anyway. So the hipster communist activist took a bunch of money from shoes made in sweatshops by child labor. He's a fraud and a poser
