According to NFL.com writer Dan Hanzus, Jim Harbaugh is sticking up for his quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Even after the 49ers have backed out of contract negotiations with Kaepernick’s agent until the incident in Miami is resolved, Harbaugh has stated his feelings on the matter.

Looking at Colin Kaepernick’s situation, at some point there needs to be a resolution to some of this jump-the-gun, witch-hunt scenario we’re seeing. I’ve seen one side reported. I’ve heard the other side, I feel very good there’ll be a good resolution, and hopefully just one, too. I hate to see his reputation be the victim.

Harbaugh explained further.

Winston Churchill had a great quote: ‘A lie will get halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put on its pants.’ At some point there needs to be a resolution to this scenario. The only victim in Colin’s case is Colin’s reputation.

All of this stems from a police report filed on April 4th, 2014. Kaepernick and fellow teammate Quinton Patton, along with Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, were named as persons involved in the incident. Jim Harbaugh is making certain that people know where his opinion lies on this problem.
