In less than 24hrs, Colin Kaepernick has gone from under the 49er Banana-Land Bus to sitting front-row behind Jed and his new Chippy head coach. The 49er PR/Spin/Marketing team may know absolutely nothing about knowing what 49er fans want, but dammit are they good at their jobs.
Look at them go! This was the home-run hire/scenario for the front office. If the 49ers weren't going to get any Prime-Time games in 2016, they sure as shit are getting at least 3 now. Kaepernick can now be spoken with some optimism and is welcomed back with open arms, when just weeks ago, he barred from the 49er sideline.
What this is to me, is a band-aid. Kelly is a complicated coach and the 49ers already have a laundry list of their own complications that immediately need addressing. Will Free Agents want to come play for Chip/Jed? Depends on how much money we offer them because they won't be coming based on recent performance/talent. Who are we drafting ? Will it be guys that mostly Kelly wants or mostly Baalke wants?
We will have a much better idea of what the 49ers will look like after the draft and no sooner. The 49ers now need to keep a low-profile till then and hire some decent coaches for Chip, making sure not to skimp on the price too. Chip has the upper-hand on Trent already. Trent is in a contract-year so he has one off-season/draft/season to prove that they can make this work. If not, he's next on the scape-goat list to fire for Jed's non-Twitter, we just missed the playoffs again speech. It's all about having Hand when you work with/for Jed York.

PS- Can't wait for Jed York to do or say something stupid during Super Bowl festivities. It's not an "if", it's a "when".
