The story of Colin Kaepernick


The way to get Colin Kaepernick ownership in the NFL was not easy.
For starters, was given up for adoption as a child and dealt between football and baseball. Lacked opportunities, but was selected by the Chicago Cubs for his skills on the mound, but rejected the offer. It was not until his college career when he catapulted his talent as quarterback at the University of Nevada, after his family sent much videos to NCAA teams unsuccessfully Nevada and only gave him the opportunity to be in the cabinet prior to professionalism.


Colin Kaepernick, chosen in the second round of the Draft 2011, began to make his way professional with sporadic performances in his rookie year and took greater role as a player in the Wildcat formation this season thanks to the elusiveness out of the pocket and facility to take advantage of the defensive speed due to stroke.

The chance to start came in week nine, after Alex Smith left the field for a shock. Kaepernick's impact was immediate and in the game against the St. Louis Rams, who tied at 24 points, Colin threw for 117 yards, rushed for 66 and scored on one occasion, after that evening the young who dreamed of playing with the prospectors when I was in elementary school got his first win as a starter against Chicago Bears, throwing for 245 yards and two touchdowns.

The closing was very stable regular season and finished his first year as a starter with five wins and two losses. In postseason has two victories.

Kaepernick accumulated two thousand 310 yards passing, 617 rushing, 20 touchdowns and only four interceptions combined.

The momentum in controls confirmed to Jim Harbaugh to be followed with Kaepernick as a starter despite the 42-13 defeat to Seattle in the penultimate week of activity, the decision gave more than dividends because now the second-year quarterback, is joined Joe Montana and Steve Young as the only pins in San Francisco carrying the Super Bowl.

49's seeking a sixth ring

The synonym of perfection in the Super Bowl San Francisco 49ers, being the only team in NFL history to win all the games he has played.

In Super Bowl XLVII, 49's look to keep unbeaten and match to Pittsburgh with six titles. Steelers and Cowboys are those with the most appearances with eight each. Pittsburgh Dallas has six titles and five. Patriots has three wins in seven appearances and two titles Denver in six games.

Bill Walsh and Joe Montana combined for three rings between 1981 and 1988. San Francisco and Cincinnati beat Miami twice. While George Seifert with Montana and Steve Young won two titles in 1989 and 1994.

In Super Bowl XVI Montana threw for 157 yards, ran for 18 and two scores. Three years later he returned to San Francisco in the big game that crushed Miami Dolphins 38-16 to complete with a Montana Dan Marino who threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns.

Bill Walsh was fired as coach with another title thanks to Joe Montana, who managed to establish the best offensive series in the history of the Super Bowl, to go 92 yards in the fourth quarter and complete the feat with a 10-yard pass to John Taylor and 20-16 win at Cincinnati.

The uncertainty appeared with the arrival of George Seifert at the helm, but returned to the 49ers Super Bowl XXIV in editing with the dumbbell Montana-Rice who managed a comfortable and historic victory of 55-10 over Denver.

Drought appeared just off of Montana and Jerry Rice aging, so it took five long years to return to San Francisco Super Bowl. In 1994-95 achieved a resounding 49-26 win over San Diego Chargers, in which Steve Young was the MVP after throwing six touchdown passes.

Now, 18 years later, it's time for Colin Kaepernick to continue perfection in Super Bowl gambusina.
