McCarron >< Kaepernick

[Quantum Bengal]

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??

I agree with you, I think it'd be nice to trade McCarron and use Kap as a back up. I'll also say, I don't agree with his methods of sending a message...but he is a great backup. I can appreciate anyone's freedom of speech, I just know to many soldiers that give a lot for my freedom to ever disrespect the anthem. Just my opinion, nothing more or less.

That being said, I'd sign Kap immediately....even if we don't trade McCarron.
