Let's not forget, Kaep is a big supporter of Fidel Castro because of his education policies. Let's forget everything else he's ever done, it's his education policies that we'll talk about.

The problem with Kaepernick is he is short sided. He may have had good intentions kneeling, but he wants to play dumb on the millions of people that could possibly be offended by him disrespecting the American flag and what it stands for. Let's also not forget that he kneeled for 2-3 games before the media picked it up and at the time he was disgruntled he wasn't starting, no mention he was kneeling as a social justice issue.

Kaep is much like Tebow, a side show. I didn't want Tebow her because he wasn't that great of a qb that was going to bring a lot of media and attention to the team that wasn't going to be sustainable. It was going to be a no win situation for the Jags. I look at Kaep the same way for most teams in the NFL.

I think you have a valid point that Kaep & RGIII would be upgrades over Henne.  But K wouldn't be a sufficient upgrade to outweigh the sideshow he's bring as a backup qb.  I would have loved to see RGIII in camp competing to be the backup.

What has RGIII ever done to make you say that?  His rookie year was it, and since then he's been complete garbage.  Kaepernick has his merits, but its hard to make it work.  Football is a business and if an owner is going to lose a $1 over Kaepernick, why would they do it?
