Why Not Kaepernick

Prelude: If you dislike the guy because of what he stands for our his beliefs this thread isn't for you. The NFL has basically told him yeaH we'll sign dope head, women beaters, manslaughter convictions, etc. but not anyone who takes on social issues or stands up for their beliefs. That and the fact that the guy knew he'd have a tough time getting work after stepping out on a limb (opted out of his contract) shows me the balls he's carrying and I admire it because I don't think I would have done the same.

Body: As far as football purposes go the guy was honestly damn good last year on a team that was beyond terrible talent wise. He hovers around a 60% completion rating and thats with some terrible wideouts and makeshift oline. It's not very often a team can add a backup quarterback that drove his team (with defense) to a superbowl a few years prior. He gives you the ability to extend plays and has a big arm with enough experience to step in for Drew when he hangs it up in a year or two and not look like a deer in headlights. He's not a star just a quality player that would benefit us IMO.
