Golden Nuggets: Ricardo Lockette's advantage; Colin Kaepernick vs the competition

Just a few links today for your enjoyment.

Firstly, it would appear that Ricardo Lockette has an unfair advantage over the competition at wide receiver. He lives with Colin Kaepernick and they're good friends. If living with your quarterback helps develop chemistry, I want the entire position group living in a house like in Big Brother or Real World. That would be some serious chemistry. | Lockette has an advantage in the race to replace Crabtree (PFT)

Ruthless Sports Guy takes a look at Colin Kaepernick vs the competition in Weeks 1-4. We've got Green Bay, Seattle, Indianapolis and St Louis lined up. Not an easy slate and Kaepernick fared poorly against two of those opponents. He also destroyed the Pack in epic fashion. I can't wait for September. | Colin Kaepernick's competition: Weeks 1-4 (BASG)
