True, but I'll say one thing: Despite how he turned out, Kaepernick balled out hard that SB year. It wasn't just running, the dude made throws he'd never come close to later in his career.

Never forget: We invented in SB 2012 what the Seahawks perfected in 2014. We had Frank Gore, and 4 downs at the 6 yard line, and we chucked a ring away with 4 Crabtree fades. For some reason, Pete Carroll was taking notes and the Seahawks didn't hand it to Lynch to repeat the title.

That, and the next season losing to the infamous Ahmad Brooks hit on Drew Brees.

I like to think the first one is karma for Jerry Rice actually fumbling in the Green Bay game, and the second put us in the red until 5 games ago with the arrival of a man we want to ride all the way to Makeout Point with.
