Pete Carroll, current coach of the Seattle Seahawks is considering "inviting" RGIII and Colin Kaepernick for a backup QB position.

Thoughts?

Typically, you want your backup QB to not be injured more often than the starter, so I'd say RG3 is out of the running.

I'd like to see the Seahawks go with Kaepernick so everyone can stop talking about him. I don't get why the Seahawks went with Boykin last year and he'll probably get suspended this season, so they definitely can't go into the year with just him as the backup. If Wilson ever went down, I highly doubt Boykin would have been a competent QB.

Kaep is a great fit

They went with Boykin due to their cap limitations.

If Wison had gone down, they would either have signed someone, or concede that their season was over.

.. many teams are in this situation. The Packers have a decent young backup in Brett Hundley. But they're still a 6-10 team (or worse!) without Aaron Rodgers.

Kaeperinick would fit well Bizzaro World.

I love the NW. I've lived up here all my life. It is truly a special place.. but man if we haven't passed San Francisco as the freak capitol of the world??!!

(I'm not saying Kaep is a freak! but he certainly made a circus of himself last year!)

I think Kaep would fit up here. I'm not a big fan of some of things he stands for, but Seattle is a very tolerant place. As long as he doesn't start burning flags, he can be successful here.

.. and it fits with the team. Seattle may be the only place where Pete Carroll's system could actually work. Imagine all of his rah rah crap in Dallas? Philadelphia? It just wouldn't fly... Chicago and New York would have DESTROYED Marshawn Lynch and all his antics. Ditto Richard Sherman. Seattle embraces it! Winning helps, but even if they hadn't gone to 2 Super Bowls, Seattle would have embraced these people as their own. Other cities would not have. IF Kaepernick can avoid the outrageous, the same will apply to him.

... RGIII? I just don't see it. If he couldn't stick in Cleveland? Yikes!

Dude, give New York credit. We've got people who wear garbage bags on their head and call it fashion. I mean, I love New York, but it's certainly full of... interesting people. Like alien conspiracy believers and people who make their own soap... and Mets fans.

Fair enough.

But there are, what, 20 million people in that metro area?

There are only 5 million over here.... so per-capita weirdness.. I'd bet we got you beat. :lol:

If you count the whole metropolitan statistical area, including Long Island, the counties just north of the City, and several counties in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania, it's about 25 million people. If you just count the City itself, it's about 9 million.

I heard they'll sign Kaepernick, but they'll only put him in for kneeldowns. :lol:
