Our team is built to win now; if we have a decent qb. If we play for a QB in the draft, our built team won't last. I think we can win our division with kaep. And in the playoffs anything can happen. We all know with Bortles, our season is done. Teams are going to do what they did with mjd when we had gabbert. They can't do that with kaep. It is about now. This team will not survive another year like the last three. We need to win now while we have a stout defense and a good to great run game. I agree that at the moment he isn't the future. But what if he got us into the playoffs and everything looked better? Could he not be at that point? I think the chance is worth it right now. We have nothing to lose. It's the same loss as sticking with Bortles...

This team isn't built to win now, IMO.  There were too many holes to fill this off season, and there are still issues with that offensive line and the lack of TE talent.  Both of these are an impediment to any QB taking snaps, especially one who hasn't been in this system 3 weeks into the season coming in off the street.  Adding Kaepernick to the roster isn't going to change a single thing about how teams defend us.  They're going to load the box up and challenge the QB to beat them.  Sorry, but Kaepernick isn't going to strike fear in any defenses if he's out there.


This team is going to be better this year than they have been over the past few years.  They've lost one game.  To think that's it and unless we bring in a marginal QB talent with a low football IQ the team will continue to struggle is silly.  He won't make enough of a difference to take this team any further than what we have on the roster now.  Kaepernick isn't taking this team to the playoffs this year.  You can try to spin this any way you see fit, but that ship has sailed, so fantasizing about the what ifs is pointless.  Let's deal with the here and now and let this fantasy go because it's not happening no matter how much a small segment of fans stomp their feet and throw tantrums trying to force the issue.  The front office is going to do what is best for the team now and for the long term, and they've registered their vote on the subject and moved on.  Sooner or later the rest of you will have to do so as well.
