Colin Kaepernick has been criticized regularly by San Francisco 49ers fans and football pundits over the past couple of seasons for not improving or reaching his full potential as a quarterback. Yet rarely have people said that Kaepernick does not have what it takes to ever be an NFL quarterback, and it has never been clear-cut that the 49ers should move on from him.
Though for different reasons, the same was said about Alex Smith for virtually his entire tenure as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
