They should take a look at Kaepernick. It'll hurt some fans' feelings, but the owners have to prioritize the winning of games over the feelings of some fans. I'm not saying Kap is a super star, but he's objectively better than many of the other options out there. It's foolish not to consider him. Putting all the PR BS aside. Kaepernick is a tough guy to have as a back up because he is built for a very different kind of scheme.
One scheme for Eli and then a completely different one for the back up won't work.
Kaepernick would be a better fit in a place like Seattle.
BTW...welcome to the new boards.

As Shurmur said, he wants an experienced. guy as a back-up QB. If they can find one that's better than Tanney, I think they'll sign him. It is hard to call Tanney an experience guy isn't it? 7 teams, 14 passes, no starts doesn't meet the threshold of "experience" for me.
There is something they aren't telling us. I don't know what it is but based on everything we know, it just doesn't add up for me.

This new regime is confusing the neck out of me. |

Thanks, it's good to see that there is another place to have some Giants related rants. You're probably right about the scheme not being a good fit. It just seems like Kaep is a unique athlete and could still thrive even if it was in an offense designed for Eli Manning. |

He dropped like 30 pounds after he got his contract and subsequently lost the ability to take a hit. He lost his unique size/athleticism. Doubtful he is in game shape or could ever become what he was...like morehead said even at his best he requires a unique situation. As a QB he is a stinker. |
