According to Young, Kaepernick needs to learn to read through his progressions and become a pocket passer. Young thinks that should be the primary focus of Kaepernick's offseason.
"That's going to be a very difficult thing for Colin to master. He's going to have to tie his legs in training camp. Literally, he should tie his legs, physically, so he can't do anything but throw from the pocket," Young said.
"OK, so first of all the guy is a hard-working guy," Young said of Kaepernick. "He just works really hard on the things he's already good at. But I know that he works hard. But … it's dealing with the things that make you more of a complete player.
The question needs to be rephrased because, to me, Colin is the one that needs to resurrect his career. Colin is the one that faded. Did not react. Did not steel himself and has to learn those lessons. It's a tough, tough, brutal business. And you cannot take any exits. You have to hang in there and face it. So there are parts of it that he needs to go do, regardless of a coach. And that's in the locker room. That's with his teammates. That's with how he handles the challenges
Said Young: "If I were Colin Kaepernick, I would go to Chip Kelly and tell him, 'Whatever happened last year, whatever you saw, whatever you saw was a weakness in my game and cracks in the wall, I'm going to fix.
'I made some mistakes. I lost the team a little bit. I lost the locker room a little bit. I didn't respond to adversity. But I figured it out. And I've got the talent and ability to make your offense hum.'"
Waiting.
