6. Colin Kaepernick to the Houston Texans
Now that we have touched on Kap’s undecided future, we can discuss him as a potential quarterback option for Houston.
Some of Kap’s recent stats are not fabulous. He managed a lowly 3-16 win-to-loss record over the last two seasons. Therefore, he might not exactly be able command top dollar. The 29 year-old quarterback completed only 59.1 percent of his passes during this time and spent eight games serving bench duty.
But he is still an upgrade over the horrendous Brock Osweiler. During Kaepernick’s 11 starts in 2016, he threw for 16 touchdowns versus four interceptions. Turnovers were huge for Osweiler, who committed more of those than touchdowns last year.
Osweiler should have no business stepping onto the field in 2017. Kaepernick teaming up with DeAndre Hopkins and actually playing with a legitimate defense could work out nicely. A stable head coach in Bill O’Brien could get Kap back to performing at the level we remember from the Jim Harbaugh days.
