Kurt Warner On Colin Kaepernick: ‘Strides Being Made’

Colin Kaepernick is working with former quarterback Kurt Warner in this offseason of the National Football League, or NFL and one the one-time Super Bowl champion Warner has tasked Kaepernick to play flag football as part of his training program. According to Warner, the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback has already made improvements.

“We had some guys come out from the office playing in my corporate charity event, and there were a couple of times where I went, 'Whoa! Was that a little bit of touch I just saw. Colin laughed and told me, 'We're not out here working for nothing.’” Warner said to USA Today Sports. "The situation forced him to throw with a little more touch. He couldn't throw it as hard as maybe he wanted to with those corporate guys. So we've seen strides being made. ... He's growing and wants to get better."

Warner admitted that there are questions if a 10-week timeframe is enough for Kaepernick to change and improve his passing and overall game and the former QB stated that they’ll only know until the training program is over and see in real games how Kaepernick has adjusted his game. Warner was tapped by Kaepernick, who aims to become a better pocket passer, to work with his passing in the 2015 offseason.

“Warner and Giles have gotten Kaepernick to sink his hips to lower his narrow, upright throwing posture. They've also helped him re-set his feet to help him cycle through reads more effectively and loft passes over linebackers to drop the ball into tighter windows,” according to the USA Today report.

In four years with the San Francisco 49ers, Kaepernick has recorded 50 touchdowns against 21 interceptions. He has 8,415 passing yards and 1,575 rushing yards with 10 rushing TDs. His most successful stint with the 49ers came in 2012 when he led the team to the NFC championship.
