    "In 2016, Kaepernick restructured the deal the 49ers gave him when they were convinced he was the franchise quarterback. He gave up $14.5 million in injury guarantees for the ability to opt out of his deal at the end of the year."

    Just like that huh. The 4 years of college mediocrity and 4 years of nothing as a Texan don't factor in at all. Fact is he lost something he's never demonstrated he should have ever had.

    If he would take the vet min then they should sign him. I'd rather see him running for his life back there than Savage or Watson.

    Lolz. I figured you'd still be sticking to that same tired line while we see backups like Savage, Kellen Moore,etc. on NFL rosters. But sure, Kaep is not an NFL quality QB and it's purely because of Football. Sure thing bud.

    Same tired stuff.

    Clearly. The bigger problem is that O'Brien is allegedly a QB whisperer but he is not only completely awful at evaluating his QBs, he can't coach them up either.

    LOL, ok, so now we're gonna put that awful team all on him and give the credit to everyone else for the Super Bowl appearance? I live in the Bay Area, breh, so the 49ers are local to me. I don't think Tom Brady could've squeezed out more than 3 wins out of that dumpster fire.

    Take a look at the list above and tell me Kaep isn't EASILY better than AT LEAST half of those 'QBs'.

    There's no team that would take Kap over Savage....so your own argument shows that you probably shouldn't be talking about football, like at all.

    Well the reasoning behind the fact that no one would take Kap over Savage may be different but i agree with that fact.

    It is not bad enough that we are Texan's fans, but we have to keep hearing about Krapernick. Is there no mercy?

    From simply a football standpoint, no team would take Kap over Savage. One can accurately throw a football, and the other is a glorified wildcat QB. The ONLY reason we keep hearing about Kap is due to his politics, some people like them and that makes him a hero to them. If everyone's opinion was 100% based on football only then he'd already be forgotten.
