For the 24th time in the history of this offseason, a quarterback not named was signed by an . When this has happened in the past, supporters of Kaepernick have freaked the bleep out, wondering why Kap remains unemployed. to the ? . to the ? . It happened again on Thursday, with the going out and signing a quarterback. Not just any quarterback either. The Rams signed , who is most famous for Dennis Eckersley Jersey running out of the back of the end zone during the ' winle s season in 2008. Naturally, people who think Kaepernick is being blackballed and/or think Kaepernick deserves a job took this in stride. Dan Orlovsky - THIS GUY - was just signed to an NFL contract. Signed before Colin Kaepernick. What a farce. Dave Zirin (@EdgeofSports) Kaepernick threw for more TDs last season than Dan Orlovsky has in his entire career. But haircuts or whatever. dylan (@dyllyp) Kaepernick who made a Super Bowl isn't getting a job because he sucks at football but Dan Orlovsky who led a team to a 0-16 record can? Stephen B. Smith (@BlackPope101) It is July 20, Jose Canseco Jersey 2017 and Dan Orlovsky just got an NFL QB contract while Colin Kaepernick remains unemployed. WTH? Nate Sheridan (@nsheridan20) So Dan Orlovsky can get a job, but Colin Kaepernick can't. #Birdsnest (@Ckbirds) DAN ORLOVSKY. LET THAT SINK IN. DAN ORLOVSKY BEFORE KAEPERNICK. Rahsaan Rogers (@RahsaanSalaam) tfw Dan Orlovsky gets signed before Colin Kaepernick Ted Glover (@purplebuckeye) dan orlovsky gets a NFL contract while Colin kaepernick is like brandon humble (@playb0y52) On no football field is Dan Orlovsky better than Kaepernick. Orlovsky is on a team. The Rams. Bob Fescoe (@bobfescoe) Name a fan base that'd rather have Dan Orlovsky under centre than Colin Kaepernick. Aaaand go. Tyson Hinschberger (@hinschcity) These people are all participating in some interesting social media chatter. But they're also all wrong. You see, Dan Orlovsky is signing in the same role that Kaepernick would likely serve for a team. He will compete with for the backup job behind and he could theoretically win it, but he is staring down an uphill battle to make the team. It is almost certain he is making the veteran's minimum, and there is almost certainly very little guaranteed money on his deal. This really isn't any different than the Gabbert signing (behind and ) or the Davis signing (behind and ). The Rollie Fingers Jersey Rams are not going to play Orlovsky unle s a) he makes the team, and b) Goff gets hurt. Yes, you can argue that Kaepernick would be more valuable in situation where Goff goes down. But teams have a salary cap. They have to manage the cap responsibly, and that means limiting the amount of money spent on the backup quarterback position. If you splurge on a backup quarterback, then you're facing a situation where you have le s money to spend elsewhere. But, if you're going to be mad, let's get . Here's a full list of all the quarterbacks signed before Colin Kaepernick this offseason. , -- I would rather sign him/pay him Blake Treinen Jersey for the upside as a . (Thus concludes the "better than Kaepernick" portion of the program.) , -- He's had succe s with Kyle Shanahan before? Kap couldn't go back to San Francisco anyway. , -- He has started a lot of football games in recent years. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , 49ers -- He's a backup (to Hoyer).Blaine Gabbert, Cardinals -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , Bears -- He's a backup. , Giants -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup.T.J. Yates, -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , Cowboys -- He's a backup. , Saints -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup.Dan Orlovsky, Rams -- He's a backup. , -- He's a backup.So you probably notice something about these guys, right? After the first couple, they're all . They're all not making much money, with little of it guaranteed. Many of them will be released and change teams. Kap is definitely better than most of them, but he is also likely looking to be a starter who gets more money. Or Stephen Piscotty Jersey someone with a starting chance. On the other hand, yeah, it's a little odd that some of these guys have found work before Kaepernick. Just remember that not every situation is the same when it comes to these teams, and that signing Dan Orlovsky for no guaranteed money does not mean that a team actively pa sed over the opportunity to sign Colin Kaepernick.
