Zoomer, unlike you, I was actually alive at the time so let me explain why you don't know shit.
First of all, 90% of his rep is based off that Green Bay game but that has less to do with Kaepernick than Dom Capers just sticking his head up his ass and somehow not grasping that Kaepernick was looking to run even after the first hundred yards. They just didn't adjust at any point in the game even though he kept doing the same shit over and over. You notice how he never got anywhere close to a game like that ever again? Because no one else was retarded enough to defend a one-read meme qb in a run-heavy offense like he was Peyton fucking Manning. That was not a brilliant offensive performance. It was a shamefur dispray of defense.
Secondly, Kaepernick didn't implode because of rule changes, he was fucked as soon as soon as people realized he was a one-read babby who could only throw a fastball to wide open receivers and had no touch or ability t read defense. The only reason he didn't go to shit immediately is that the Niners had the best run game in football and defenses had to prioritize stopping Frank Gore AND they had a really good defense. But as soon as the rest of the team around him wasn't s-tier he got exposed hard. He wouldn't throw to anyone who wasn't wide open and no one was ever open so 90% of the passing plays ended up with him giving up on the play and running to the sideline for a 2 yard gain. That last year in SF he averaged 230 yards per game in COMBINED rushing and passing yards. It was one of the most painful viewing experiences of my life. Just terrible, pointless, hopeless football. The dude had one trick, the league figured it out after one full season, and he was too much of an entitled cunt to accept a backup job. End of story. Everything else was just a marketing ploy by Nike
