Colin Kaepernick came out after practice and spoke for a few minutes with reporters on Tuesday, and the words “comfort” and “comfortable” were often used. Most of the time he was talking about a deeper understanding of the offense and working with the team’s receivers (including Randy Moss), but he also touched on what he’s working on mechanically.
Kaepernick’s session lasted a little over four minutes, and in this post I broke out the important pieces into four small videos that last between 24 and 38 seconds apiece. Like the Brandon Jacobs video I posted yesterday, here’s a partial transcript for each video that includes a key quote.
1. How he’s feeling in practice and in general
“I feel like I’m leaps and bounds ahead of where I was last year, as far as my comfort, being comfortable with this offense and being able to execute. Everything’s coming so much more naturally now.”
2. What it’s like to work with Randy Moss
“One thing about Randy is a lot of times he can make you look good no matter where you throw the ball.”
3. Mechanics
“I think every quarterback’s different. So I don’t think you can say ‘are his mechanics sound versus his.’ Some people have quicker releases, some people don’t. I’m trying to quicken my release up, yes, but I think it depends on the quarterback,” said Kaepernick. “Just trying to get the ball out quicker is something I’m trying to correct right now.”
4. The question I asked:
Being that it was so rushed last year, did you ever feel comfortable with the playbook last season, and do you right now?
“I think last year I was comfortable with it. It was just, some things I didn’t understand why we were doing them. I just knew this is what we’re doing, this is what we want to do. Now I understand why we want to do that and what we’re trying to get from the defense when we’re calling certain plays. So it’s just a better understanding of what we’re doing, I guess.”

Today's paper says that CK is battling just to be no.2...he even could be no.4 One good thing is, Colin at least knows his flaws. And knows his stay in the NFL can be short if he doesn't pick up the pace.
Was Harbaugh effusive about him last year? I remember him saying that Kaepernick and Smith both had a chance at starting, but I can't remember what else he said... *goes off to google*
Sometimes Meg silence is the same as shouting. An example: Last year and the year before I posted that I noticed that A's manager Bob Geren? I never heard a single player say a word about him..no praise,no story's of Bob,no "Lets win one for the Skip",not even a joke of Bob,or from Bob. I finished with,"He's like a ghost manager". Turned out..I was right...they could hardly wait to see him go. CK?..When you trade up to draft for a QB...the silence to me sounds like...they aren't impressed with what they got.
I don't hear ANY praise for Kaepernick by Harbaugh..a red flag.
I haven't seen any concrete evidence of it, but I do have the feeling you're on to something, Stan. It's admittedly tenuous at best, but when Kaepernick got practically no (5?) snaps last year -- not even much of anything in mop-up duty -- I often wondered who would've actually come onto the field if Alex had gotten hurt. Everything Harbaugh has said to-date indicates Alex is the presumed starting QB, but it doesn't seem as clear who the backup is.
