Kaepernick was good enough to throw 4 TDs and beat the Patriots, so I don't really understand the hate. He was drafted with every intention of taking over, so Harbaugh obviously saw something in him, and it just happens to be the case that he's got the hot hand right now. I think the 9ers want someone who can extend plays with his mobility, and Kaepernick does that. He also doesn't try to force passes, and has only thrown 2 picks all year.
I think the one thing to be said is that he doesn't really score very many TDs with his arm, he only has 7, 4 of them against a terrible Patriots defense last week. He's pretty efficient though, and he does have some rushing TDs.
