Grave Digger posted:It’s a good thought, but unless he’s going to be an elite player right off the bat with the ball in his hands you’re taking the ball out of the hands of Rodgers, Jones, and Adams. Hill does a lot more than trick plays, so unless CK can return kicks, block, AND run the wildcat I don’t think we will get the same use out of him. If he can return kicks successfully than maybe you get some Josh Cribbs-esque use out of him, otherwise he’s a waste of a roster spot in GB.
There’s a place for him in the NFL on a roster. At the rate Pittsburgh is going through QBs they might need him. Seeing him with Bruce Arians might be fun. They’re going to need a QB.
I don't think anyone will bring him in and use him like Taysom Hill.
He's probably best suited for a role where a really good team's backup is not ready to step in. Let's say Rodgers got dinged up enough to where he can't play for 2-3 games, but is going to ready to come back for the playoffs. Does Kaepernik give you a better chance to win a game in that scenario than Tim Boyle? If he shows that he hasn't declined physically in the workout I think the answer is probably yes. If you are a team like NO and have Bridgewater as a backup you aren't going to be interested.
Of course, Brett Hundley sucked in 9 starts (and most of the game where Rodgers got hurt in 2017) and in those games the Packers went 3-7. There is no question in my mind that Kaepernik would have given them a better chance to win that year and get them into the playoffs until Rodgers could return.
