I have not watched as many Niners games, but I haven't seen Kaepernick take a lot of hits either, certainly not like RG3.
I'm not sure if this read option style will hold up either, or if it will go the way of the Wild cat or run and shoot. With the types of athletes they have, I think certain elements will stick, but in time these guys will throw more and run less.

Newton really hasn't been banged up a lot either. That might have more to do with how big he is, but it's worth noting. The guys who seem to get hurt more (i.e. Vick and Griffin) seem to be of the smaller variety.
