Nobody cares what you're talking about because you're arguments suck so now you're resorting to pulling the race card. Really weak. This is a football forum not an MSNBC forum.

Wow! Based on THAT comment I'm SURE there's some racial bias going on here.

He had to be. His arguments are so ridiculous.

Posters like Sofaking, African and others at least use stats to defend Kap which I appreciate. It keeps the integrity of the thread.

This guy blind fury pulls the race card. SMH.

The funniest thing are the people who are upset at this insinuation. I've never seen a QB more criticized by how he dresses, talks, wears his hat, etc. The amount of tattoos he has. How wearing headphones pissed people off. Then there's all the subtle jabs I've heard over the years. There has always been an undercurrent there. Now before everyone loses their minds...SOME of the criticism is valid and comes from a fair place while I'm sure come of it isn't...and if you're going to deny that then OK we'll have to agree to disagree..but if there are homers and haters and we can all agree that haters tend to find silly reasons to hate a guy...why isn't the color of his skin a reason too? Have we ever heard a 9er QB called a thug? Ever heard any talk about the way they dressed? Any talk about lack of intelligence or lack of film study? I hear the same exact stuff about Cam. The same guy where a writer picked apart his smile. So yea, people choose really silly reasons to hate a player and Kaep is no exception, neither is Cam or Alex or really anyone else. And this fan club that Gabbert has developed is odd.

No because all of our former QB's dressed like they respected the position they were in. Kap is the 1st to dress to promote his brand/s. When you are the 1st, people will criticize, if you don't want that criticism then don't buck the trend of what's previously been deemed acceptable.

Yeah, nothing racial about how people feel about him.

Yup. If I dressed like Kap at my job I'd get fired. It's called being professional. Something blindfury apparently has never heard of.

Agreed. His play on the field does that for us.

Yeah, you're wrong. You're one of those that hate him and has hated him since he took over from Alex. Get over it bro.

Uhhhhhhhhhh, Dont want to make you feel completely stupid, But you do realize the guy who wrote that article has two black daughters right? Hes talking about his tattoos, not his race. Since when does complaining about tattoo's have anything do with being racist anyways? Your post sounds like the media, implying something is racist when it has nothing to do with race in the first place.

The time has come. This whack job FO will look to trade Kaep.

I'll be the first to admit, I was always and still am an Alex Smith supporter. When Kaepernick became the starter I was upset because I felt Smith was finally coming into his own. I had invested so much time in supporting Smith it was difficult to see him be benched. However, I never neglected or denied Kaepernick's talent! I wasn't a big fan of his show boating and that's the only thing I never liked about him. Only because I've never been a fan of cocky players but he was backing it up so I can't blame him. I just felt he was bringing to much attention to himself and now it's probably somewhat hurt his confidence. I want any 49er to succeed. I support Kaepernick now so I hope he does well! I just felt like I had to share that. Go NINERS!

No I'm pretty sure I'm correct. Until today Kaps race never even came into discussion until you and a few other SJW brought it up. I'm embarrassed to even be in this thread because of a few of you posters.

Well said. I think I'll stay out of this thread for a couple days. Like Young2Rice said earlier "this thread is a disgrace".

So nothing has changed here?
Just checking in to see if any things changed
