The guy put up pedestrian numbers when he played last year.  That's where the big flaw in your logic is exposed.  You're setting a low bar.

Injuries happen.  Options are limited.  So, predicting he'll get picked up eventually isn't exactly a risky prediction.

Those "pedestrian" numbers is what our current QB's can only hope to obtain. The QB bar in Jacksonville isnt low, its just laying on the ground. We have 3 of the worst QB's in the league on our roster. Kaep is better than all of them by a good margin. Which again is like being the smartest in the special ed class, but still true. You know this, you also know he would be better than the vast majority of backups at the very least. Its 100% political and/or asking too much(which is doubtful the longer it goes). You say if he had the talent no one would care, look.at.the.numbers.of.his.career. and compare to some of the other qbs in the league. This argument is filled to the brim with logic and reason. Its easy to come to the correct conclusion based on the mounds of evidence that fit it and the complete lack of evidence that go against it.

I want a QB better than Kaep, there are none available right now.

If the intention is to upgrade the position, and the goal is to do so long-term, Kaepernick does not represent the guy to fill that role.  It's not rocket science.  If he's only marginally better than what we have currently, that may placate the SJW crowd who is convinced he's only out of the league because of his anthem kneeling, but it fixes absolutely nothing.  He doesn't address the issue this team needs to deal with, which is actually upgrading the position permanently.  It's pointless to bring in a band aid that is barely better than what is already here because the playbook would need to basically be tossed out and dumbed down so that Kaepernick isn't asked to do more than he's capable of doing.  

You want a QB better than Kaepernick, but you're arguing the case to bring him in, and all you're doing by going down that path is perpetuating the need.  The team is far better off to continue down their current path and look at their options once the season is over with.  It is what it is at this point.  There will be options available for this team, and they have the resources to land a true upgrade if they decide to do so in free agency when there WILL be quality QBs to pursue.  Kaepernick just isn't a guy that's worth bringing in for this team.
