I have an image of Stallone walking through their building casually chucking grenades this offseasin.

I would have a couple of years ago.

He didn't look good at all last year and you have to wonder if defensive coordinators got enough tape on him to figure him out.

I would say that is likely. More film on him means he needs to evolve as a player and he didn't do that last year. However, I'll also point out that his OL dealt with a lot of injuries and the running game was not as efficient as recent years because of it. Also, the coaching staff put more of the offensive burden on his shoulders while asking him to run less and stay in the pocket more.

Kaepernick is a guy who needs a solid foundation to be successful. He needs a good running game and a playcaller that will play to his strengths. Harbaugh/Roman did that his first 2 years. They went away from it last year and the offense suffered for it.
 
As an aside, how pissed are 49ers fans right now? Their FO is basically dismantling a team that went to 3 straight conference championship games and almost won a Super Bowl. All because of the ego's of the "owner" and GM who fired their best coach in 2 decades because he was getting the credit for the team's success instead of them.
 
NFL network just read a statement from the Niners' GM, Trent Blake, that said Kaepernick is NOT being shopped around.
Colin is our QB and we are excited to have him. He is not going anywhere. The media reports suggesting otherwhise are without merit and quite frankly ridiculous."

besides, who's their backup if they traded CK??

That front office hasn't exactly been forthright about... anything, lately. (e.g. Harbaugh)

Sounds like a bs report to me. Twitter.

JB's reports seem to always be shown true after some time has passed. A Bears beat writer confirmed they talked, and JB said he has 3 sources that confirmed it.

Like Ryan Mallett trade for a 6th. Had it pre-draft and was denied by everybody and their dogs including Schefter and Werder. Happened a few months later.

He doesn't break news often, but has a pretty good track record. First on Mallett resigning... even had #'s during negotiations. Same with Byron Maxwell, including spot on contract dollars.

I imagine we'll get a confirmation of this many months down the road that York/Baalke will still deny... until they trade him. Kaep is not a Baalke guy. We'll see.

That may be true, but right now the Niners:
1) Don't have another QB
2) Would take a massive cap hit
3) Are still reeling from the p.r. fallout from the Harbaugh fiasco

Nothing adds up to trading Kaepernick right now.

So, you're saying it's likely?

49ers have been imploding since trying to trade one of the best coaches in the league to the Browns. The whole anti-Harbaugh campaign didn't make any sense, either.

Is Colin Kaepernick on the trade block? If you know the 49ers’ recent bizarre activities, you know it’s very, very, very possible
by Tim Kawakami | March 8, 2015
...
Two interesting notes: Tom Gamble was in the Eagles front office until recently, has been close with coach/GM Chip Kelly, and now is back with the 49ers.

Also: Vic Fangio was just hired as the Bears defensive coordinator.

So there are familiar faces all over these possible conversations, which might make the deal a lot easier to make or a lot harder, I don’t know.

Again, we will need to more about this, but just generally, the big question: Why would the 49ers, at such a crucial juncture, possibly want to move on to another QB?

I can see Baalke and new coach Jim Tomsula theoretically wanting…

1) A QB not picked by Harbaugh;

2) A QB who wasn’t trained by Harbaugh and who might not still be loyal to Harbaugh;

3) A QB not set to have a $16-19M cap figure into the deep future;

4) A QB who they believe can be shaped into their system, whatever it is.

I presume Baalke would want a young veteran back, also. I presume he’d draft a QB… by the way, it’s exceedingly likely that Baalke will draft a QB in the first three rounds this year, no matter what happens with Kaepernick this off-season.

And we shall see from there. Either way, we all know that Baalke and maybe Tomsula aren’t at all sure about Kaepernick into the future and now maybe Kaepernick knows, too.

Actually, I won’t truly believe this rumor until Jed York steps forward and says it’s not true.

Kawakami covering 49ers for 15+ years, Cutler(Bears)/Foles(Eagles) available.

The hubris that Baalke/York have displayed over the last two years is pretty unbelievable, too.
