Kaepernick'd 

Being replaced by your backup due to injury and never getting your job back despite performing well on the job. The term originated when San Francisco backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick replaced starting quarterback Alex Smith after Smith suffered a concussion. Kaepernick earned the job in relief of Smith and outperformed Smith in several categories, even when Smith was playing well. Kaepernick led San Francisco to the Super Bowl, though losing.

The term only refers to those underlings who take over a primary worker who was performing well at the time of the absence who subsequently outperform the primary worker. Does not refer to a struggling worker being replaced by a better worker. Alex Smith was at the time, through half the season, first or second in quarterback rating, held the league's highest completion percentage, top three in yards per attempt, and had a 20-6 record in the last 26 games (2010-2012).

Term could also include or not include management's preference to the underling in the future. Giving the favorite underling an opportunity to demonstrate abilities could opening oneself up to being Kaepernick'd.

Quarterbacks may be hesitant in the future in reporting symptoms of a concussion, so as to avoid being Kaepernick'd by their backups.

Tom Brady would have Kaepernick'd Drew Bledsoe if Bledsoe were playing well.

The Broadway singer may sing through her strep throat, so as to avoid being Kaepernick'd by the young up-and-coming understudy.

Colin Kaepernick

He is a QB for the SF 49ers who was drafted in the second round in 2011 and is a one hit wonder for the 2012 Super Bowl season and has been just shit since. He is called Colin SACKORPICK by the 49ers fans because whenever he touches the ball on a pass play he is most likely to either get sacked or throw a pick.

Colin Kaepernick just threw the ball and it is a pick as usual.

Colin Kaepernick

Used to be the greatest joke to ever come to the NFL until Antonio Brown destroyed his own football career. Now he ranks #2 among NFL losers. Thinks he's a vocal hero to the black community for disrespecting the country that has paid him millions upon millions of dollars to play football. Says that America is a racist country yet hails Fidel Castro as a Cuban hero and continues to concoct bullshit ways to look like he is trying to return to the NFL when in reality, he just wants his name returning to national headlines. When team managements express a glimpse of interest in this bum, he shoots their offers down because it's not exactly what he wants.

If he really wanted to return to being an American football player, he would be proud to be an American and he would accept any offer from the NFL. Since neither applies to him, he's just an attention-seeking hypocritical dumpster fire of a loser and a bum and he always will be until he realizes the error of his ways and apologizes for the disruption he caused in the football world.

Colin Kaepernick will never play another NFL game again.
