NFL analyst: Colin Kaepernick better than any backup QB

It’s been four years since Colin Kaepernick last played in the NFL, but the former 49ers quarterback is still the best insurance policy any team could hope to invest in, one NFL analyst said Friday.

“I can clearly say right now, with extreme confidence, that Kaepernick is better than every single backup in the entire NFL,” said NFL Network analyst Nate Burleson. “That’s not me taking a shot at the backups. That’s just me appreciating the fact that Kaepernick once took his team to a Super Bowl (and) NFC Championship game.”
