I’ll play Devil’s advocate. Keep in mind that I have lived in the DC area for going on 40 years (damn, I hate reminding myself I’m getting old), and have never been a Washington fan (in fact, a Dallas fan). Nor am I a Kaepernick fan. I’m ambivalent about him, I don’t care one way or the other. And I’m not going to comment about the political ramifications of bringing in/signing Kaepernick (though YES, the public relations aspect/optics of the situation would be huge, as well as a distraction).
When Alex Smith went down, these are the QBs that Washington brought in for a workout to possibly sign to back up Colt McCoy: EJ Manuel, Kellen Clemens, Mark Sanchez, TJ Yates, and Josh Johnson.
That ^ says it all. Now, I know good backup QBs aren’t sitting at home mid season and available...but don’t you think if that group of QBs were brought in for a look, it wouldn’t have hurt to see Kaepernick as well? But of course, Washington didn’t want to deal with the PR...but claimed Reuben Foster off the waiver wire.
It’s true Kaepernick hasnt played in two/three seasons and no one knows what shape he’s in...or IF he’d even agree to meet/workout with Washington based on his own political views. But he led San Francisco to a Super Bowl and back to the NFC Championship game the following season. Granted, Sanchez led the Jets deep in the playoffs a few times, but Kaepernick has done more than anyone on that list above. Is he miles better than the QBs that we’re brought in? Debatable. But is he worse? Well, probably PR wise...
Again, I have no dog in this fight. Just showing the other side.
Like mfoga said, Washington should just throw in the towel and tank for a better pick. They’re done this season. They’re 5-23 on MNF since 1998. I can see Dan Snyder posing patience and getting rid of Jay Gruden so he can bring in a “Super Bowl winning coach” in anime McCarthy, LOL.
EDIT: Posting on a phone sucks. That last line should have read “I can see Dan Snyder losing patience”...”Super Bowl winning coach in Mike McCarthy”.

Tice would then institute the Randall Ratio in Green Bay’s offense.
Another point brought up about Kap is would he fit the Offense for 4 weeks? Also can you bring him in and not start him? It seems like the groups attacking NFL for not signing him would quickly switch to attacking for him not starting. He is a PR lose lose player now. His only change would be a extremely desperate team.

The guys on PTI brought up a good point yesterday. Why would Kap (the poster boy for social justice) want to sign with Washington anyway, a team named the REDSKINS and who claimed woman abuser Ruben Foster.

I’d just like to see him play again so the people whining can see why he was benched in favor of Blaine freaking Gabbert not that long ago. Yes, he was awesome in 2012-13 when the pistol offense was all the rage, but NFL defenses figured it out.

And then of course it will be the refs are against him, the league or the networks are fixing the game so he doesn’t succeed.
Even though he can’t hit the broad side of a barn
They could sign Jay Cutler!

Interesting that there’s never any outcry for the guy who took a team that was 1-4, turned their season around, won a thrilling playoff game, then was blackballed out of the league.
Where’s the cry for justice there?
