"The league has figured out how to defend it. If I'm playing defense, I want the quarterback to run so I can hit him. In the pocket, you can'

t really hit him." The four-time winner then went on to compare Kaepernick to another quarterback who didn't last long in the NFL: ."You look at Tim Tebow -- he's a great guy, does a lot of great things, but when you complete 40-something percent of your pa ses, even in the low 50s, you're not going to make it in the NFL," Montana said.For the record, Kaepernick's career completion percentage of 59.8 percent is more than 10 points higher than Tebow's career number of 47.9 percent, and it's not like you can't succeed with Kaepernick's completion number. All you have to do is look at Montana's career to prove that.

"It comes down to his play as much as anything."The problem for Kaepernick is that there haven't been any teams willing to bring him in to check out his play, which makes it pretty much impo sible to earn a roster spot.
