As for Kaepernick, this excerpt sums it up:
"At the time the Niners pulled him for Gabbert, Kaepernick was 1-of-5 passing for 4 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 39.6. He was also sacked five times for 25 yards, leaving the Niners with negative-21 net passing yards and a 24-6 deficit at the time of his departure.
In the process, Kaepernick became the first quarterback in NFL history to be sacked five times and throw for fewer than 5 yards in a game, according to ESPN Stats & Information."
I remember listening to some talking heads on KNBR. In one breath, they were stunned that Kaep couldn't find a team that wanted him and argued that it was his political views that were his albatross. Then in the next breath, they lamented the under performance of the 49ers running game, and completely blamed Kaepernick, as defenses were loading the box with 8 or 9 because they knew he couldn't pass.

At the time, Sports Illustrated was working on an article of the rapid demise of the read option in which they described Colin Kaepernick as the worst quarterback in the NFL.
I also made a few minor edits to the list and included the link to the live list. Lots of CA, TX and PA quarterbacks.
