I mean Hoyer has to be worth close to $20 million if Dalton and Kaepernick are.

A lot of Kaepernick's deal is bonus based. If he doesn't reach the NFC title and get named an All-Pro his salary is reduced by 2 million for 2015. Just an example of how he will be paid based on performance, which is good.
His deal still is outrageous though and he didn't deserve it, he's playing brutal this year. He has single-handedly lost the Niner's two games (Week 2 vs bears and last week vs Rams) this year.
49ers are in tough to make playoffs this year and were stuck with a crappy QB in Kaepernick for a long time.
