San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2014 campaign.
The 49ers recently parted ways with former head coach Jim Harbaugh, but the team has other issues to address — a la under center — if they don’t want another disappointing season.
Last year, Kaepernick threw a career-high 10 interceptions, and the fifth-year gunslinger took to Twitter on Wednesday in order to remind the San Fran faithful he was doing everything in his power to improve this off-season.
1000 abs…. arm workout….. 10 min straight on the jump rope…. 2 hour study session in February….. that's what we call a recovery day!

No matter how much you try, you can’t make everyone happy. Kaepernick is an explosive athlete, and often times his critics silently wish he was more of a cerebral player, but in the case of Twitter user @battman_returns, those wishes were broadcast across the interwebs.

Naturally, Kap didn’t take too kindly to the criticism.

For the record, @battman_returns only had 8 followers when this flame-war broke out, but Kaepernick’s wig check helped him gain 0ver 2,000 followers overnight.
Any press is good press, I guess.
