Colin Kaepernick - what do you think?

Am I the only person who can't stand this guy? Someone told me the other day that he looks like a douche but because his ridiculous number of tattoos are religious and he doesn't talk smack like a lot of the other unlikeable people in the NFL (like the Seahawks and their roided-up secondary) that I should like him, but no, I can't stand him.
Last week's press conference where he is wearing his hat backwards and to the side while wearing headphones with tape over the logo (because it's not from the company that he is paid to endorse) is really all anyone should ever have to see to not like him.
I will also say that I was kind of jaded already. I can't stand Harbaugh's childish antics and crying about every obvious false start call. While I won't question Kaep's upside is probably higher than that of Alex Smith, he doesn't seem likeable to me.

Re: Colin Kaepernick - what do you think?
I am all Packer fan, so it is hard for me to think of anything positive to say about anyone in the 49ers organization. But I will try.
Purely, as a QB, I think that Kaepernick is a freak athlete who provides a lot of problems for most defenses. He owns the Packers because our secondary is among the worst, and our D-Line provides no pass rush. For a QB like Colin, that is fools gold that makes him look like an elite QB. His ability to run and improvise destroys teams that cannot cover in spaces in the defensive backfield, and cannot pressure the QB, like Green Bay.
He has some maturity issues. I do not know if that comes from his background. He was born here in Milwaukee and given up for adoption by his birthmother, even after her parents offered to raise him to keep him a member of their family. As an adopted child myself, I am sure that a lot of emotions are still there for this still young man. I think that is the chip on the shoulder that kind of rubs everyone the wrong way. He has every right to mouth off and be chippy out there, but then he needs to understand that those antics are going to rub a lot of people the wrong way, and he may get labeled something that he is not.
As far as the Favre v. Rodgers debate. It is not even close in my mind. Rodgers, by far, is the better quarterback. Favre brought winning back to this organization, and he will always be remembered for that. But Favre also put a lot of people under the bus for his own ego and selfish needs. There are so many selfish, petty things Brett and his wife did upon leaving that this state really felt betrayed by them. This state raised millions of dollars for Deanne when she went through her breast cancer battle, and for them to talk smack about Green Bay and the rest of the state when he was Viking was close to unforgiveable for a lot of people in these parts.
But Favre is not half the QB that Rodgers is, from a technical, mechanics point of view.
