I used to say the same thing years ago.

Once your main guy goes down, you're pretty well screwed. May as well shake things up with a different style. Look at Tebow with the Broncos or Foles with the Eagles. Kaepernick had some success initially after Alex Smith got hurt. Thing is, I'm not so sure ol' Conserva-Merv would be open to shaking things up like that.
