Guys that make a career out of being a backup QB have to be good in the film room. They basically have to be another coach. Much to the chagrin of some Giants fans, we've kept Alex Tanney around for that reason, even though he's not a good QB. What I'm getting at is, maybe Kaepernick doesn't fit that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not. But a lot of teams carry 3 QBs too. Whether that's a development guy or not, who's to say. There's def not 32 options for Kap available based on scenarios, but I would think there would be AT LEAST half a dozen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is horse manure. There are plenty of guys who have stuck around as back ups despite not being good in the film room. Vick has publicly admitted several times throughout his career that he never took film study seriously. He still was able to stick around for several seasons as a back up. He was the backup in Philly, NY, and Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The same question can also be said for Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizofoz45 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Does he even want to play? If the current media narrative continues into opening day, Colin Kaepernick may make more money in penny stocks than playing in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Easy pass. I’d rather ride (or die) with Stidham. Plus, with Kaep’s contract demands, I doubt NE could even afford him, unless he prioritized playing over the money. If the team were looking to bring in a new QB that they hypothetically can’t afford, I’d rather have Cam than Kaep. Higher probability of success, more recent sightings to go off of, less of a media circus. Edited June 9, 2020 by Yin-Yang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Slim Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 what's important to note about most people, me included, who are on team "colin kaepernick should be in the nfl rn", is that the argument isn't kaep would come on to a team and instantly make them a world beating contender with mvp level play from the shotgun, rather, out of the (minimum) 64 quarterbacks who have a job he's unequivocally better than at least 40 odd of them and could help a team to win games, and even put a defensive team with a ****ty signalcaller (such as the bears 2018) up over the top maybe i used to be firmly on the side of "he is a good enough player to start in the nfl but i'd understand why teams would be hesitant to sign him given they'd have to completely revamp their offensive system", and then i saw what john harbaugh did with the ravens. and if you say not every coach is john harbaugh, true, then look at what o'brien did with the texans for deshaun watson. it is very possible to adapt your system to a player whose skillset isn't set as a pocket passer.

I don't even need analytics to tell me how awful he was as a passer(QB). Now, he could have MAYBE become a Taysom Hill type in the right system (which is limited) but other than that he was a flash in the pan and Gm's/coaches realized it. Plain and simple.

Not even close to the same thing. Edited June 9, 2020 by JustAnotherFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even regardless of that, not every back up in the NFL even has a similar playstyle as the QB starting. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been a journeyman back-up his entire career and he is a throwback gunslinger QB. How many QBs has he been behind that play similar to him? I would say the vast majority don't. Yet despite his inefficiency and constantly having terrible games he'll probably stay in the NFL until he's 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Kaepernick backing up Lamar Jackson is the best fit but they have RG3. I like him in Arizona, Houston, Buffalo, Seattle, Pittsburgh or Kansas City 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
