Donte Whitner not happy with Bills reporter taking shot at Colin Kaepernick’s style

Colin Kaepernick’s fashion style isn’t bad. But some people can’t take it.

Following the 49ers’ 23-10 win over the Panthers, Colin Kaepernick met with the media in the above outfit. If you’ve seen Kaepernick, you know that such kind of an outfit is the norm for him.

But of course, since his starting NFL debut last season, old school reporters don’t like it. With the backwards cap, the tattoos and the “urban” look, he’s been a target of many. He doesn’t fit the mold of the old generation, which some people hold on to.

A Bills writer decided to voice his anger about it. (He would later delete it probably because he knew he was a fool for tweeting that.)

My predictions for Sunday’s Divisional round games

Here are my predictions for the second round of the playoffs.

The 49ers are healthier since their last meeting with the Panthers and are on a 7-game winning streak.

SAN FRANCISCO (5) VS CAROLINA (2)

The last time these two met, the 49ers had injuries to Vernon Davis, Ray McDonald. Aldon Smith was limited in snaps following his return from rehab and Michael Crabtree wasn’t playing. This 49ers team is different from the one that lost to the Panthers 10-9 in Week 10.

But does that mean the Panthers have no chance? The Panthers defense still pose a great threat to the 49ers’ passing game. Their secondary plays well and the pass rush is what gave Colin Kaepernick his worst performance of the year. If the Panthers can get the pressure on Kaepernick, then that just puts more pressure on the run game to bail the offense out.

Cam Newton makes his playoff debut and he has a lot of pressure on him to succeed. If Steve Smith is not at full strength, that means Newton has to make a lot out of his receiving weapons that is good, but not elite. Also, the running game for the Panthers has to set the tone against a stout 49ers defense.
