This includes where their 'head' is at (commitment) and likely distractions (nonsensical stances) for the team. Tim Tebow has had success in the NFL from a win-loss perspective and no one wanted to sign him either. I view them similarly.
I think Kaep is a better QB than Tebow, and obviously their distractions are very different, but I agree.
Based on skill/production, both should be in the league. Not necessarily as starters, but definitely as backups.
It's just that their value isn't enough to offset the risks. Nobody wants a bunch of media scrutiny for a backup or fringe starter.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
