What makes you think I appreciate Bortle's play and that he is the answer? Fact of the matter is, We don't have a franchise QB on this roster. FYI, Kaep isn't the one. He might be a worthwhile upgrade over Allen, but doesn't offer much over the others in the stable of mediocrity. 

Maybe your GOAT will catch on elsewhere for a few games so you can marvel at his other worldly abilities.

Kaep is more athletic than Henne for sure but at this point I don't think Kaep would beat him out in this system.

Point me out to some valid stats that show Bortles is better and I'd be glad to take a look. 

Your debate skills need work. Throughout the discussion the point has been that Kap is better than any QB on our roster. It's not that he's an amazing QB or anything. Simply that he's better than what we have. No mention of him being a GOAT or anything like that.  

That's not the question though. We'll try again, do you think Henne is a better QB than Kap?

You want a valid stat?

Bortles has thrown 69 career touchdowns, and has 6 additional rushing/receiving touchdowns giving him 75 touchdowns in 3 seasons.  He's averaging 25 TDs a year with the Jags. His AVERAGE over 3 years beats the previous franchise record of 20 TDs that stood for years.

Kaepernick has 72 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing touchdowns over SIX seasons.  He's averaging just over 14 touchdowns a year.

Hardly the dynamic franchise saver you seem to think he is.

For the record, I'm not claiming Bortles is anything to celebrate.  But, this fantasy some here have concocted where Kaepernick is an upgrade is borderline laughable.  He's not.

As far as him being better than Henne, who cares? How many snaps has Henne taken the past 3 seasons? The distraction alone that Kaepernick would bring to a backup role would be ridiculous. Without getting into the politics of it, it's clear that if he's signed by some team to play the backup, that franchise will immediately be accused of being racist for not anointing him the starter immediately, and will be under tremendous pressure to do so by outside interests who couldn't care less about the football aspect of his NFL career. No thanks.
