Remember when Colin Kaepernick was the king of San Francisco?
The 49ers QB led the team to Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, falling short by the slimmest of margins. He would follow that performance up with an NFC Championship game appearance in 2014 against the Seahawks. Once again, he fell short on the final pass.

Then, the 27-year-old signed a six-year contract extension worth up to $126 million in the offseason, including $54 million in potential guarantees.
It all went downhill from there.
Eagles Fans Still Believe Cutting Tebow Was A Mistake
In 16 starts with the 49ers that season, Kaepernick finished with just 3,369 yards and 19 TDs. The team finished a pedestrian 8-8.
Sunday’s 17-3 loss to the Packers appeared to be the final straw for 49ers fans.
Ever since Kaepernick got a new contract he's been trash

Colin Kaepernick folded like Richie Tanenbaum at the end of that game. — Steven Hyden (@Steven_Hyden) October 4, 2015
And Kaepernick throws it at Bush's feet as Bush falls to the turf, followed by Bush getting up and checking the turf for divots. — Bay Area Sports Guy (@BASportsGuy) October 4, 2015
Kaepernick is so bad it's funny — Hotline Jew (@lordjewcup) October 4, 2015

I'm so over Kaepernick at this point. He is who he is, and that's just not good enough to lead or carry an offense. — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) October 4, 2015

Yes, @49ers structured Kaepernick deal with ability to 'get out' every year without future cash obligations. Managed risk.

What happened to Kaepernick? He can't even make simple throws anymore. Guy came within like 5 yards of winning the Super Bowl. Bizarre. — Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) October 4, 2015
Fortunately for the 49ers, they didn’t mortgage the house on his arm.
