Why doesnt Kaepernick run the ball anymore?

What a pussy this guy has become

Linebackers acting as spies that stay at home to follow him if he decides to break. That's how you contain the zone run... It happens in college too when option QBs run up against high end defensive teams.

I agree with suicidekings. Teams have watched tape and see that he doesn't throw very well. Factor in he doesn't have his number 1 wr crabtree and the defenses can clamp down even more on the run game because they can get away with stacking the box and he still wont be able to burn them through the air.

Teams have figured out how to stop him and the rad option. It's not effective anymore

No, he's a puss bag and runs out of bounds every chance he gets.
