Since you are only looking at Kaepernick as a starter, let's talk about him as a 2nd or 3rd stringer. Here's the depth chart for NFL QB's for every team in the league
2017 NFL Depth Charts By Position | Ourlads.com
Obviously some teams have chosen to go with 2 QB's on their rosters but please educate The Coli on how Kaepernick, a QB who threw for 16 TD's and 4 INT's last season in an offense coached by Talent Vacuum Chip Kelly and led a team to a Super Bowl two years before, is not better than some of these scrubs occupying NFL rosters like Joe Webb, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brock Osweiler, Scott Tolzien, and Tom Savage. I'd love to hear how they have roster spots and Kaep doesn't.
backup Qb's have typically been one of two ppl:
1) the young guy, that is coming up next and is just learning the system. (Aaron Rodgers)
2) the vet that is there to help the next guy, coach him up and just be there in the locker room, film room. (Matt Moore).
Kap is more than talented enough to be a back up Qb. but with the media circus surrounding him, is that type of distraction worth it for your team for a player that probably won't get much field time?
many teams didn't think so.
he does have NFL talent, there is no doubt he can play. But he's an average starter, and not too many places in the league he can actually go right now and start.
if there wasn't this media circus surrounding him I have no doubt he'd be on a team in some capacity. but for many teams, the risk wasn't worth the reward.
Teams have proven time and time again, that they will take a media circus if the player has the talent to play (Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, etc.) shyt teams will even take on scumbags like Ray lewis if they can contribute to the win.
