Colin Kaepernick's hometown is Wisconsin. His parents are from Wisconsin. He dreamed of playing for the Packers when he was a kid.

Will the Packers sign him given that their QB is out with a broken collar bone?

Since the Packers are owned by a Board of Directors, I think they should strongly consider it.

This is a good fit for him, culturally and from a football perspective. He has the ability to rehabilitate his image and lead the Packers to the playoffs.

As liberal/socialist Wisconsin's political system is the Packer fan base appears to be rather conservative.

Let SF or Seattle take him.

The 49'ers can't win games with all those kneelers on the team.

I'd think the 49'ers care more about winning games. Certainly, the GMS and coaches whose jobs are on the line probably do too.

The problem with Colin Kaepernic is that he's competing with the likes of Geno Smith, Dan Orlovsky, Bruce Gradkowski. Why would you take Kaepernic and his insane wife over no-drama QB's who just put their head down and do their jobs?

In SF, their jobs are to stage protests not to win games. Do you see any indication that the GM's care about winning games?

Win games?

They can also consider Tony Romo.

It is not an ideal situation for the Packers however I doubt Kaepernick could cause much damager because the Packers could cut him.

Romo has a job, one he likes and doesn't get hit in. Kaepernic and the Packers not sure if that is a good fit or not. If there are no other QB's out there that fit they could always give him a shot. Its not like they got much to lose and he will come dirt cheap.
 
If he is both physically ready to play and mentally ready to give his all for the Packers....maybe.

I tend to doubt that he can pass the bar to consideration however.
 
Free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick is filing a grievance under the latest collective bargaining agreement against NFL owners for collusion, according to a court filing obtained by ABC News.

Kaepernick is not going through the NFL Players Association but has instead hired attorney Mark Geragos, who has represented several high-profile clients, including Michael Jackson, former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield and musician Chris Brown.
