For most teams, like Seattle, that's an understandable reason not to bring him in. For a couple teams, maybe just us and the Jets, Kaep is good enough to be the starter.

I think it's a perfect storm of most teams not wanting the distraction of him as the backup, the Jets being in full tank mode, and the one team that he would start for that actually has aspirations of winning is led by the oldest and stodgiest front office man in the league who likely does have personal contempt for Kaep's actions. I do honestly think that almost any other team in the league that had Bortles/Henne as their depth chart would have brought in Kaep by now.

As if that garbage we saw Sunday isn't a distraction lol...

That distraction talk is just another excuse friend. Every team has distractions and a tiny team like this one may actually NEED some national attention. I'm pretty sure the Raiders gained a lot of their national fans by having some negative distractions years ago.

How do we know he's not the long-term answer? Is he over 30 yet?

This team is going to be inconsistent until the QB situation is fully addressed.  Kaepernick doesn't do that for this team, and as much as you want to whine about the injustice of it, the decision has been made and the team has moved on.  Maybe you should as well.  The kind of "national attention" Kaepernick would bring here would simply amplify the notion that this franchise is a joke, especially when he shows up and doesn't make a damn bit of difference on the field, which is most likely what would happen.  

This team needs national attention for winning.  They got it in week one, and then the wheels came off this past Sunday.  Who knows which team will show up next week, but you folks who are desperately looking for something to drone on about that won't happen are certainly praying for another bad Bortles game and a loss, I'm sure.
