Okay, don't kill me. But I was watching one of those ten, fifteen or twenty football montages and one was the twenty or so best QB runs.
I was greatly surprised to see how many times Kapernick showed by on them ... runs for thirty, forty yards or so and two almost full field TD's.
I have no opinion about him or his general QB abilities but those runs were pretty impressive. Boy, did he screw himself out of a lot football playing and, of course, money.
Oh, and of other QB runs, Cam Newton was like a rocket out of the line of scrimmage.
Honestly his protest was the smartest move, he was one more pitiful season from the scrap heap and likely would have been more or less forgotten about by this point. Instead he is still headlining threads here on BBI, and people will continue to talk about what might have been.
And backup QBs make good money (see Keenum in MN) so he definitely cost himself a lot of money with the protests.

Exactly how is that helping him? He is, at worst, a league average backup, and likely better than that. His protest has made him a pariah in the league, I'm not sure how that helps him. BBI headlines don't pay the bills.
You gotta force those guys to be pocket QBs and be content with allowing their athleticism to be a bonus or fallback when plays break down.
