Colin Kaepernick says he will not exercise his right to play for 49ers: "We'll lose regardless"

A few days late, but what can I say?

SAN FRANCISCO — Colin Kaepernick told reporters today that he will not suit up for the 49ers in Week 10 because he doesn’t see any scenario in which there is a positive outcome for the team.

“I could play well, and we’d still probably lose or I could play poorly and we’d definitely lose,” said the quarterback. “Why should I have to pick between two bad things?”

San Francisco head coach Chip Kelly said he was disappointed in his quarterback’s decision.

Kaepernick said that while he will not play in the game, he will kneel on the sidelines throughout the game in hopes of bringing awareness to the fact that the 49ers are terrible.

If true why give up now? You were so close against the Cardinals. The defense finally showed up in the second half.

Another loss for the 1-10 Niners on Sunday (31-24 at Miami), but Colin Kaepernick was terrific in defeat, amassing his first 400-total-yard game in three seasons. Chip Kelly had to watch this game and think, “Maybe this guy can win again, and maybe we’ll be a match.” Kaepernick threw for 296 yards, ran for 134, accounted for three touchdowns and generally looked like the kind of threat that made Ron Jaworski say three years ago he could be an all-timer. Kaepernick will need to be consistent in the last month, but suddenly his Niners future is a story instead of a fait accompli.
