Setting aside my personal animus against Kapernick and secondary considerations such as his affect on the locker room, he is a FOOL for listening to someone who isn't a football person.

If he plays on a one-year $900,000 "prove it" contract, and performs well, his position would be MUCH stronger. He wasn't even the starting QB for the lowly 49ers for much of LAST year.

The girlfriend is also apparently unaware that Kapernick has skills that are best employed on a handful of teams. He is not a Brady or Aaron Rogers-type who has a full-skill set and QB savvy that would make him more or less successful anywhere.

Kurt Warner was wise enough to play with the Rams for LEAGUE MINIMUM AFTER winning the Super Bowl and being league MVP. This strengthened his position in negotiations and he was able to get his money. Kapernick's biggest recent performance is sitting on his duff.

JMO, but I don't think he really wants to play. I also think that most NFL teams are of that opinion also.
