Cutler not Kaepernick?

Just to start I think Jay Cutler to the Dolphins was the no brainer pick but I wanted to break it down a bit.

There are a lot of people out there who think it's crazy that Colin Kaepernick does not have a job in the NFL. All the drama aside Kaepernick is better than at least 10 of the current starting QB's in the league. All of the drama that surrounds him has made it difficult for NFL owners to pull the trigger on him. I am of the thought that Kaepernick will end up on an NFL roster this year once injuries start to happen.

Boom... Ryan Tannehill, in pre season practice rolls out of the pocket and goes down with a non contact knee injury that is probably session ending. The only problem is that this is the Dolphins. Almost any other team and I think Kaepernick has a job. The Dolphins and Kaepernick have an additional drama filled relationship. Kaepernick decided that it was a good idea to wear a Fidel Castro shirt that the people of Miami have not forgotten about. Secondly, the QB's on the list included Tony Romo, Jay Cutler, Colin Kaepernick, and even Tim Tebow. Kaepernick might be, on paper, the best option but because Miami coach Adam Gase was Cutler's coach on the Bears it makes Cutler by far the better pick, and the numbers prove it. Cutler had his best season in his career under Gase on the Bears with 3600 yards passing, 65% completion, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions which is good for Cutler.

Along with all of the off the field drama Kaepernick brings to the table, on the field Kaepernick is apart of the drying bread of running QB's. Cutler, a more traditional and proven pocket passer with a very strong arm, can come in already knowing the style of offence expected by Gase while Kaepernick would need to learn it all from scratch.

Miami made the right pick. Let's just wait and see who the next QB is to go down and then I think Kaepernick better start dusting off this cleats.
