The entire San Francisco team showed up in the playoffs not just the QB as you are making it seem. Their defense played very good football and they have a monster running game.

Maybe you can explain why the Niners go to great lengths not to have CK throw the ball in the redzone if he is all that and a bag of chips as you are making him out to be?

What was posted was actually passer rating. The poster screwed up and put QBR instead, which is a garbage stat produced by ESPN. That being said, I watched Kaepernick absolutely destroy some teams in the Playoffs with his arm and legs. Green Bay was his first victim. He also shredded the Ravens in the Super Bowl. CK's worst Playoff game was against the Seahawks in the NFC Chanpionship game.

While I wouldn't trade Dalton and a 3rd for Kaepernick, I'd consider a straight up trade, and probably do it after considering it. Kaepernick has his flaws, but he also outperforms Andy in the Playoffs, and sports a higher career passer rating. There's also the added benefit of his mobility. A swap wouldn't be cut and dried, but Andy is a low upside starter with limited arm talent and mobility. Kaepernick has superior tools, but hasn't harnessed them fully. And for what it's worth, Hugh consciously limited Andy's influence on the offense last year as well.
