Having a good 3rd QB is not the sign of a smart team, but rather one wasting resources. If you're down to your 3rd QB your season is shot.
With that said I'd sign Kaepernick. It would erase everything McNair said and he can run some of the same stuff at least, so O'Brien can treat it like a football lab where he experiments with his playbook for 10 weeks. I'd make him take a 2 year deal with no guaranteed money so if he played well he could be traded and if he played poorly he could be cut.
