Kaepernick

[mraynrand]

Kaepernick had decided to opt out of his deal with San Fran when it was clear Chip Kelly didn't want to start him. There was not an offer from them to return after that.

The idea that Blake Bortles, Josh McCown or Jay Cutler offer a better chance to win is just ridiculous. I would also doubt Case Keenum here if he hadn't just helped hand the Packer's head to him.

He isn't going to win this, but discovery with emails from teams and the League could make it interesting if someone was dumb enough to put their two cents down on paper.

It depends on how you structure your offense. If you don't want or can't run some read option Kap's value goes down.

Kaps recent problems are due to the systemic oppression of his receivers with his poor accuracy.

He had ridiculous numbers from the pocket in Kelly's offense and that was running the same five Kelly plays over and over. They were shorter throws, but he has enough arm you could do something conventional with your offense with him.

It would be a slightly larger adjustment than McCarthy is going to make with Hundley. Probably along the lines of going from Bridgewater to Bradford to Keenum.

But even if you had to go read option, it would give you a chance to win. Unlike Jay Cutler or a McCown brother.

With all the talking heads talking about GB's QB options, the thing I keep going back to is "How well would they know the offense?" And Troy touched on that question a bit during the broadcast.

Hundley is probably the best option for Green Bay right now. He knows the offense. M3 knows him and his abilities. He is the easiest player to plug in and play without disrupting the entire team. Callahan is also in his second year in the system. Not a starter by any means, but could make the calls in a pinch. If Hundley goes down, they need a different guy though.

Another QB that comes in will either be on a learning curve (and then arguable whether he performs better than a QB who knows the system inside and out who many are high on) or will have a new system designed for him which will disrupt the entire offense. Either way, a learning curve with a QB from outside the system will take several weeks before it starts looking like an offense.

On the other hand, with Hundley, even with the changes they (should) make to fit his strengths, they have an offense that should look like an NFL offense this week. The key word being should.
