International Man of Mystery
Fair Weather fans? What’s that? We still wore the colors during that near decade of bottom feeding NFL performance where our team consistently earned low first round draft choices. Who else do you know that stood the same test of time? Who else can you name right now off the top of your head who so diligently followed a sports franchise with such a dismal winning record while one entire decade passes by your eyes and is removed from our lifespan? I’ve met fans of other teams, on occasion a “true faithful” of some perennial pathetic team, still faithfully wearing the colors. But our group? Unheard of, really, if you stop and think about it. There’s no one who can compare to us. The 49er followers. The Loyal and Noble Devotees of an idea. The notion of Greatness. That it can be achieved. That on Earth mortal greatness achieved by flawed men could stand the test of the ages and be forever immortalized. After all of us are long gone there will still be the legends. People will still talk about the greatness of ages past. The 49ers. An era existed where such greatness could occur. Greatness personified. It will always be and nobody can take that away from them or from us.

"You only get one shot, so you have to be on top of everything," Kaepernick said. One list Kaepernick tops is the batch of young, multidimensional NFL quarterbacks. He's the last man standing among the "new breed" of QBs -- true passers that can run like the wind, such as Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson. "I think (mental toughness) is something they ingrained in me throughout my career," Kaepernick acknowledged Wednesday. "I've always had great quarterback coaches coaching me and I think that's really helped me get to where I'm at right now." It started with Theder, who laid the foundation for Kaepernick's football career by nursing three cornerstones of what he considers the ideal quarterback. "He's really smart," Theder said over the phone. "He's tough. And he has a great arm." "He would take the necessary time in the film room and on the board," Ault recalled from his first season with Kaepernick, "not just to learn the offense, but what he was learning better than most was the philosophy of the offense." "Colin will keep getting better and better and better," Theder predicted, "and with Jim Harbaugh's great leadership, for years to come he'll be a great quarterback." "I think the 49ers are just now scratching the surface of where they can go with their offense in terms of what Coach Harbugh does, what he believes in, and how he takes advantage of the things that Kap can do for him," Ault said.
