Kaepernick is the ultimate player, as in, he played one really good season when it counted, got a big money contract, then sat back and let the money roll in.
That contract isn't what it appears to be. Its basically a bunch of 1 year contracts tied into one. The 49ers can cut him after the season without having to eat much of that money......if they were actually that ruthless.

Iono why Kaepernick is getting so much hate tho....what QB would be good in that situation? Position coach promoted to head coach damn near half the team leaving or retiring in the offseason :russ:. Yea Kaep is the kinda QB who needs a good team so succeed but to put the 9ers failures on him is kinda asinine

I had to look up the details of his contract.

After leading the San Francisco 49ers to consecutive NFC championship games and one Super Bowl, Colin Kaepernick was rewarded with a "record" seven-year, $126 million contract.
But after Kaepernick's nightmare season we are already seeing that the contract is not nearly as big as everybody made it out to be, and he could receive as little as $25.9 million.
The contract, signed last summer, gave Kaepernick a $12.3 million signing bonus and a 2014 salary of just $645,000.
Kaepernick was supposed to get his first large salary ($12.4 million) in the 2015 season. But because of the way the contract was worded, that salary is actually going to go down to $10.4 million.
Starting next season, Kaepernick's salary goes down $2 million each year if he is not named first- or second-team All-Pro, or if the 49ers don't play in the Super Bowl the previous season with 80% of the snaps taken by Kaepernick, according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com.

The 49ers have been eliminated from playoff contention, and Kaepernick ranks 22nd in quarterback rating, which means the de-escalator is going to kick in.
In addition, while many outlets were reporting that Kaepernick's deal included a record $61 million in "guaranteed" money, it turns out the money was guaranteed only for injury. Each year of the contract, the 49ers can decide to cut Kaepernick before April 1 and will not owe him any more money.
Kaepernick is almost certainly going to be the 49ers' quarterback in 2015. But if he has another disastrous season next year, the 49ers could potentially cut him before the 2016 season. All of a sudden, Kaepernick's deal would be for just two years and worth $25.9 million.

That's not bad. But it is a far cry from seven years and $126 million with $61 million guaranteed.

Colin Kaepernick's 'Record' $126 Million Contract Was A Complete Sham - Business Insider


:manny: Get paid a couple million for two years of trash quarterbacking. :russ:

To my niners brehs. What happened?!?! I know a lot of turnover but damn. If you guys still had harbaugh do you think the season would still be like this? Or it was inevitable to have a season like this?

All things being equal as last year, we probably have a very similar season as the last one (7-8 wins) and look competent out there. And there's no way we get so many player retiring.

Harbs only flaw was being to loyal and stubborn about his offensive system, if was willing to change that and he stayed we'd probably still contend.

The right side of our line has been an abomination all season.

WRs can't create any separation and when they do, :kaep: is usually sacked by then.

Mangenius my ass even though the Defense has been decent considering the trash offense.

No kinds of adjustments with playcalling. Conservative aint the word. Geep Chryst makes Mike Shula look like Mike Martz :snoop:

Kaep really isn't the problem. The head coach refuses to try and make adjustments to the O-Line and the offensive Coordinator is the WOAT.

I haven't watched any 49ers games this year.

So on paper, the score makes it look like he isn't doing his job. He's also the scapegoat on sports talk radio too. Him and the coach and OC.

Blow up usually implies you have valuable pieces...the Niners are done, they blew it up the moment the Harbs rumors started in preseason 2014


This is a good point. They just have to start getting good players and good coaches and good personnel managers.

There's really not much to build around right now.
