Here's a 2016 49'er stat that puts it in perspective a little more: 2-14.
He couldn't win football games, and that's part of what your job is when you are a team leader. That's why he was benched, and that's why he's not playing. In the 12 games he started, they won once. His total career record as a starting quarterback is 28-30. If he was a winner, someone would take a chance on him. But he's average, comes with significant baggage, and what team needs that?
Colin Kapernick sabotaged his own career by choosing protest over playing. I respect the hell out of the fact he was willing to do that because he believes in the cause that much. But let's be honest, his talent wasn't going to overcome the protest. He just isn't that good of a QB.
Is he better than some quarterbacks playing in the NFL this Sunday? Sure. He's also a lot worse than many of them. Why there is so much hype around a lower tier QB is just crazy to me.
