If the AJ trade had gone through there was a second part...who would we have signed to be our back up QB? Driskel is still on IR. Brian Hoyer would have still been available but because he already knew the offense probably still have gone to the Patriots. Would we have gone for the controversial choice of Kapernick? would we have gone for TJ Yates..we know he can beat the Bengals..can he beat anyone else?

think Driskell is eligible to come off of IR next week. The question now becomes will they leave him on IR for rest of year or activate him and cutting someone else
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.

Probably Brian Hoyer or Colin Kaepernick. And either of them would be a welcome face to see along with a 2nd and a 3rd round draft pick.
Still pissed this trade didn't happen.

This is most likely the answer.. Driskell would be activated.... I'd leave him on IR until they have a need not sure who else is on IR and eligible to return this year.

Hoyer went to the Pats since he's familiar with the system and was cut from the 49ers to make room for Gropealopealoo. Kaepernick is currently filing a lawsuit against the NFL or something, so I'd wager he's even further off the radar than before.

I'm still available. They could have signed me to league minimum and I would have been just fine.

Colin Kraperdick would definitely NOT be welcome by anyone I know....

Me too and just think of the publicity of signing a 58 year old guy with a bad heart and even worse legs and who never was any good at throwing a football to begin with... Heck, I can fumble and run away from the action with the best of them..
With me as QB you'd be able to hear me scream, "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" all the way from China..

I can't help but think Brown would take a chance on Kaepernick. We all know Brown loves his reclamation projects.
Then again, Brown strikes me as a conservative, politically speaking, so then again, maybe he doesn't want to sign him.
Then again, Brown was rumored as wanting Kaepernick over Dalton during the draft, so he may want to sign him.
Then again, Brown could've put the poison in his own cup thinking you would choose the cup in front of him.

This is the answer. No reason to bring him off now, but that did seem like the plan.

Politics aside, he seems to be a better human being than Pacman Jones... Maybe even Joe Mixon for that matter.

You n I are in the same boat. I might be able to chuck the ball 20 yards, but I ain’t out running no 300 lb d-lineman. I’ll just curl up in a ball and do my best Hedgehog impression.

Nobody remembers when we worked out TJ Yates, Matt McGloin and a couple others?
In hindsight, maybe that supposed McCarron injury talk was just an excuse to review some QB's with a trade on the horizon without raising any eyebrows.
