Three reasons to sign Kaepernick

He's the only upgrade available: If the Jaguars look outside to upgrade the quarterback spot there is no one else they could sign that would be a potential upgrade. Kaepernick helped lead San Francisco to a Super Bowl and has a 28-30 record as a starter. Bortles and Henne are a combined 29-69. Team talent has a lot to do with that, but Kaepernick was able to win a few games on his own and that's not something the Jaguars duo has been able to do much. According to ProFootballReference.com, Kaepernick has engineered nine fourth-quarter comebacks while Henne and Bortles have combined for nine. He's not a turnover machine: Bortles has turned the ball over the most times (63) of any player and thrown the second-most interceptions (51) during the past three seasons. He has played in 46 games during that span. Henne has 68 turnovers (63 interceptions) in 65 career games. Kaepernick has 45 total turnovers (30 interceptions) in 69 starts dating back to 2012. Turnovers are one of the biggest issues Tom Coughlin has had with Bortles. "There can be no way the ball is turned over to that extent, so I think he'd be the first one to say that he has a lot of work to do,” Coughlin said about Bortles in February. He can be a dynamic playmaker: Kaepernick's ability to scramble and make plays with his feet would certainly be useful behind the Jaguars' suspect offensive line. Kaepernick has 17 runs of 20 or more yards in his career. Bortles has 13, but Kaepernick also has two runs of more than 50 yards (Bortles has none). He also would help the run game alongside Leonard Fournette, whom the Jaguars took with the fourth overall pick. Kaepernick ran for 468 yards last season in 12 games with the 49ers, which would have made him the Jaguars' leading rusher.
