Colin Kaepernick struggling to figure out Stevie Johnson

When Stevie Johnson left Buffalo, he was a #1 WR. He arrived in San Francisco as the #3 WR, but who knows how much playing time he'll actually get there. Apparently, the 49ers QB, Colin Kaepernick, is having trouble figuring Stevie out.

Here in Buffalo, we all knew that Stevie was great at getting open, but the reason was usually because of how he got there. Tell Stevie where to go, and he will get there. It just won't be the "traditional" route that the QB expects. For someone like Kaepernick, a young QB who is still learning to "throw receivers open" (i.e. -- throw the ball to the spot in anticipation of the receiver getting there and being open), Stevie's unorthodox style is already driving him crazy. It may be the reason why he's no longer in Buffalo with another young QB, EJ Manuel, who is also learning to "throw receivers open".

If the two of them can't get on the same page, look for Stevie to have huge drop-off in his stats, possibly even a lesser role than #3.
