Originally posted by dj43:Harbaugh's failure to develop Kaepernick is one huge deal that many 49er fans overlook. Harbaugh gets a pass for his 1960's offense, his poor game/clock management and juvenile sideline behavior just because he was such a much better coach than Nolan/Singletary, but in truth he was only good by comparison. He had numerous failures and Kaepernick is the one with the longest lasting impact on the 49ers. Not Kaepernick per se but Harbaugh's failure to do anything with him that CK could not do when he came out of college.
Kaepernick was a worse QB in his 1st preseason than when Harbaugh left. 2011 Kap could not go 16/4 with a 90 rating on the worst roster with Kerley. I'm sorry, but he wasn't the same guy as in college. By your logic Cam, Alex, and Dalton all should have gotten their coach fired by now because they've all had average seasons, and none have accomplished as much as Kap/Harbs. Odds are they'd fail the next season if they had the worst line, roster, Tomsula, and 3 injuries. Kap was not bad in 2016 for being on the worst team, and not being 100% (couldn't make it through TC).
