Pretty interesting interview from Dennis Gile here, one of the guys that was coaching up Kaepernick this offseason.
Here are some of my favorite parts:
Quote:
On biomechanics and if they tightened up his throwing motion even more:
I think everyone's going to be super surprised when they see him. I don't really want to get into specifically like I said, exactly what we changed. But everyone's going to see a totally different throwing motion from what they've seen out of Colin Kaepernick in the past.
Quote:
We worked on footwork every single day before and during the workouts. So, their footwork is not going to get much faster than what they do. At times they need to slow down if that does anything. They got enough quickness with their feet to get away from anything, and to do anything they want. It's just, being able to put it together from head to toe and the understanding of what we're trying to get them to do, while doing that. And it took him two or three days to get that down mentally. So he understands it, and it's totally different because he's never had a quarterback coach before, so he's always just based his game off of how athletic he was, and his arm strength and stuff like that.

People say, he can't read the field, he's not smart enough, this and that. And, they're mistaken. He's very intelligent, he gets it, like I said, he has a very photographic memory, so his pre- and post-snap look, it's very decisive at times, it's just everything has to match up to where all 11 guys and coaches are on the same page.
