I'm kinda old school though, I like the players who let their play speak for them. When I say he is a punk, he is one of a huge bunch of young players just like that. He undeniably has great talent and a HUGE arm. He is the starting QB and therefore leader of the team, act like it or go play for the Panthers.

I gotta' agree with this sentiment. Let your play do the talking. The one thing I liked best about Barry Sanders was he would just flip the ball to the ref after every touchdown. No dance, no 'in-your-face', he knew how to act like he'd scored before.

When Kaepernick became the starting QB, they started with all the human interest stuff about all the adversity he's faced to become an NFL QB and blah, blah, blah, blah ... and I thought 'rubbish', let's see how the kid handles a little success before we put him on a pedestal.

Looks like he might have a chip on his shoulder, eh?
