You need to re-read his post. Nobody is saying he's not better than some of the backups in the league. He isn't good enough to overcome the media circus and backlash that comes with him. Saying he's better than Brock Osweiller isn't good enough when the baggage is part of adding him to the team. He's getting the same treatment as Tim Tebow and RG3. Guys that were good enough to be on a roster but not as a starter therefore not worth the extra attention that comes with adding him to the roster.
Ask Michael Crabtree about Kaepernick. Crabtree couldn't find work after playing with Kaepernick (had to accept a one year show me deal with the Raiders) and most receivers that play with him end up out of work. He really isn't that good of an NFL QB.
