You have to look at this from a team standpoint for one second and its all pretty obvious. You bring in a guy that has the off-field following of Kaepernick as a backup (as I feel the only teams starter he could beat out is the Jets) and you have a situation where every decision will be analyzed to the 100th degree in the media, even in media outlets that are completely unrelated to football. Every bad game the teams starter has there would be outraged Kaep supporters crying for him to start, and if the team doesn't buckle they would be labeled as racists and whatever else, boycotted, and dragged through the mud in the media. It would be the second coming (no pun intended) of Tim Tebow, only with race instead of religion.

Why would any team risk that for a QB that couldn't even beat out Blaine Gabbert for a job on a team that ran a system tailor built for an athletic QB?
