Yes, but his "name" is based on whining off the field, not winning on the field. The AAF was started exactly because of his nonsense. Why would they invite it in, for a QB who has won all of 3 games SINCE 2014?!? When he is now rusty, over 30, and never shown any ability to win without Jim Harbaugh behind him? He had lower QB ratings and higher sack percentages than his own backup QB (Blaine Gabbert) behind the same O-line.
Even his Wikipedia entry lists him as an activist first, and a football player second.
He went 25-14 in his 3 seasons with Harbaugh, and then 3-16 after Harbaugh left. Who was the one with talent, after all?
Younger QBs with more wins since 2014.... Marcus Mariota - 27... Dak Prescott - 32 (was in college in 2015)... His old backup QB, Blaine Gabbert, has only started 21 games since 2014, and HE has 8 wins in that time frame.
Colin Kaepernick went 3-16 as a starter in SF in 2013-2014...
with the same coaches and same teammates...
Is, uhhhh.... is Blaine Gabbert getting $20 million now? Ah, no... he's getting $1.5 million from Tennessee, the lowest salary of any QB with at least 48 starts... and he is a backup... with better numbers and more wins than Colin.... under the exact same conditions, on the exact same team... and is younger... and hasn't been out of the game for 4 years.
The empty hype is just appalling.
