He could not win the starting job over Blaine Gabbert. Blaine Gabbert then played horribly and Kaepernick got another shot. Team continued to suck with him at QB. The next season, SF was done with both of these guys and brought in Garoppolo.
If the dude actually wanted to play football, that's one thing. The private workout thing shows he didn't really want to play. It was for publicity and when their crew wasn't going to be able to go in their and film their tv commercial, they bailed.
One of the comments on that article was on point:
"Guy complains about being unemployed. Guy decides to skip job interview."

I don’t think anyone claims Kap is a superstar, but that same Blaine Gabbert is still in the league and he’s never been as good as Kap was. Kap at a minimum would be a high level backup. He’s not for only one reason - he kneeled and certain people didn’t like it. That’s it. The rest is complete BS trying not to acknowledge the truth.
As far as the workout, the fact the NFL was offering a workout (not teams) and they settled with him tells you the reality of the situation. I mean the NFL does that with all backup level QBs right? Yeah, exactly.
