Kap has been to a Super Bowl (actually won playoff games), has more experience, and could be a decent fit for the Bengals. Cincinnati has a reputation as the place where NFL castoffs can go for either one last hurrah, or to rejuvenate their careers. Kaepernick definitely fits the bill. Plus, it looks like no other team will touch him, so he'll probably come cheap.
In McCarron's case, he only has 1 year left on his deal and will for sure be moving on (I really can't see a situation where he resigns to backup Dalton). I'd say instead of trying to get a '18 draft pick for him......there has to be at least a handful of quality young OL players that are sitting on the bench behind All Pros in the league. Maked perfect sense for a "Win Now" approach.
So seriously, why not give Kap a shot??
Kap may fit the bill as far as a cast off goes, but he doesn't fit the bill in our offensive system. He's a horrible fit here. He's not a good pocket passer and he doesn't make the quick decisions necessary in our system.
He won playoff games with his running ability and a system that was tailored to him (along with a top 3 defense and top 3 coach)
All of the other "castoffs" like Pacman, Reggie Nelson and others have been good fits in our scheme. Kap isn't
