He's less at fault for his one playoff loss as a 49er than Kaepernick is for his.
I'm not saying he's better than Kaepernick but I think you downplay what he's done a little too much.

Alex isn't the type of player who can completely change a game by himself. Kaepernick definitely is. Games are won and lost as a team I understand and there's no way Alex deserved to lose that game on Saturday. But honestly, Kaepernick has already surpassed Alex in his contributions to the team in his three seasons. Alex had a shitty set of cards dealt to him for his first 7 seasons, sure. And he's great with a good supporting cast. Kap hasn't had all of his weapons until just recently and they till finished the year 12-4 and the number 1 seed came down to the final week.
My frustration lies more so with those who chanted "we want Carr" and booed Alex out of Candlestick only to beg for him back when Kap lost in week 2 and 3. It's a joke. I'm a Kaepernick mark and a loyal fan. If Alex were still here, I'd be backing him too. Hoping for his demise has become not even really about Alex anymore, but about either bandwagon fans or the ones who only support our team in fair weather.
