Colin Kaepernick not making any friends

Much has been made of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his kneeling antics before each game this season.  Whether you agree with him or not and I do not, he has the right.

That doesn’t mean opposing players agree with it either.  Kaepernick is also likely to get a lot of boos from the crowd on Sunday.  The big news this week on him was that he didn’t vote.  For a guy who wanted to see change, he failed to voice his opinion in the one spot he could help direct change.

If you combine that with his scrambling ability, look for Kaepernick to get roughed up a bit.  The Cardinals would never go out an intentionally cause injury or try to hurt anyone.  They would never attempt to draw a penalty that could hurt them.

However in the heat of the moment, with a poor 49ers offensive line, and with a tenacious defense out looking to get back on track after a poor performance in Carolina, the Cardinals may end up being a little too over-hyped.  The Cardinals are likely to draw some personal foul penalties.

To be fair, this is a prediction I would make regardless of who the 49ers opponent was on Sunday. This is more about the 49ers style of play and the way they’ve been performing.  Hopefully though, the Cardinals are smart about things though and they draw no penalties for personal foul on Sunday.
