Kaepernick may be the best quarterback but, unfortunately he probably has too much negative notoriety and loads of dislike among fans. But Tony Romo is available too.
Kaepernick may believe he isn’t being signed due to his decision to protest during the national anthem, is easily the best skilled quarterback available. He’s played in and won big games in the NFL, both in the regular season and the postseason. He’s better than Foles and he’s available. Tomo however is better, less controversial and could lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl…Yeah.
And if Foles goes down, the Eagles would be hard pressed to find a better option than having Kaepernick or Romo going in for him.
The Eagles seem uniquely set up to sign Kaepernick, as they have a number of vocal leaders in the locker room that would support him — such as safety Malcolm Jenkins — and an owner in Jeffrey Lurie who would be open to signing the free agent quarterback.
Add in the fact that he is reportedly working out in New Jersey, and Kaepernick should be at the top of the list if the Eagles do add a quarterback to the roster. Romo is probably a bit out of peak shape but he’s a more seasoned player and a better political choice.
You can bet the house that Pederson has already talked to Kaep.
What about the fans? Kaep started the protest against America. Philly fans might overlook that as he wins football games but they’d be ecstatic with Romo….
