San Francisco 49ers
Colin Kaepernick sure looks like he’s done with the San Francisco 49ers and let’s be real. Blaine Gabbert is not going to be the answer either. This teams looks like it will be searching for new solutions at quarterback in 2016. Stafford has the cannon arm similar to Kaepernick, but has proven himself a much more reliable passer.
As a native of Tampa, Florida he grew up in warm climates so a shift to California may be a welcome change for him. It will also forestall the 49ers from having to truly start over with a rookie quarterback. Something they probably aren’t interested in given the background of their head coach Jim Tomsula.
