Kaepernick is ‘Great,’ says Harbaugh

Coach Jim Harbaugh publicly defended his quarterback, Colin Kaepnernick, after Sunday’s close win.

There’s been criticism against Kaepernick that he hasn’t made enough progress as a passer.

“He’s a great player,” Harbaugh said on Sunday, per SI.com. “I don’t know how everybody else doesn’t see it that way. Great with a capital ‘G’—at the highest level of great.”

A few days before that, he said, “He’s growing and growing and growing as a pocket passer. I think he’s one of the most dynamic pocket passers in the game of football today. And he’s one of the most dynamic runners,” according to ESPN.

Meanwhile, Harbaugh described his career as a quarterback as “mediocre.”
