PLAYERS: Colin Kaepernick
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers

Players View rarely counters the opinion of other writers in our forum because we at the very least respect the platform that they stand on.

They can put on display what they would like and their readers can debate it if they so choose.

He decided to pick apart 49ers QB du jour Colin Kaepernick.

His gripe? His tattoos.

Colin Kaepernick has officially been given the chance to become the next face of the San Francisco 49ers, and so far he has answered the call. There has been little to criticize Kaepernick for in his first two NFL starts, both of which were convincing wins.

Colin Kaepernick’s Tattoos Threatenening Clean-Cut Mold of NFL Quarterbacks, Says Ignorant Columnist

Via NESN.com  |  November 30, 2012
Colin Kaepernick‘s arms are full of tattoos. This, apparently, ensures that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback will never, ever be a legitimate hero for the NFL or the 49ers even.

That’s what it sounds like AOL Fanhouse columnist David Whitley thinks, at least...

  Only way a person believes that tattoos suddenly make this sweet faced individual look like a thug is if they’re one chromosome from having one chromosome.
