Great point. So let's sign a guy who hasn't attempted a pass since 2011.

Johnson was a late cut of the Giants *this year* so he's been active more recently than Kaep and apparently has the proper pigmentation to be seen backing up Watson.

Other than that, I have no clue how Smith pulled this guy's name out of the dumpster.

At this point, I wouldn't mind if the Texans signed Barack Obama to QB the club. Yes, he throws like a girl and would rather be playing golf, but it would be cool to watch BO run for his life behind our wretched o-line.

The good news is he's shown himself to be quite cool under pressure. The bad news is he's left handed, so no-go, Buford, sorry about that.

With Kaep suing the league, I would doubt he will play again. Which one of those old grouchy billionaires would want to sign a backup distraction that is suing his bread and butter?

The illusion of Kaep is much more enticing than the actual player. The media keeps beating the drum as it is click bait. Kaep likely doesn't want to play, as he would likely fail, and all the hype is flushed down the toilet, as is his "movement."

I would much rather see them overpay to bring Tyrod in as a backup next season.

Jerry Jones is suing the league. The league is dying a slow death by a thousand cuts (or blows to the head if you prefer). Kaep is small time on the list of concerns for the NFL. They removed him from the league and it did nothing to stem the tide of protests or the response to those protests.

As for whether Kaep on this team makes sense, nothing you said addresses that. Obviously I'd rather have Tyrod Taylor as a backup in 9 months. I didn't see a single person anywhere suggest employing Kaep in 2018. Kaep to the Texans is simply a question of whether you'd rather see Savage, Weeden, Yates, or Kaepernick lead Hopkins into vicious hits while running around in a disintegrating pocket.

Minor detail, Brandon Weeden is backup QB for Tennessee now.

If we are now in the get ready for draft and 2018 mode, i'd cut savage, ? On Yates?, rather try out a few available mobil QBs, maybe one will be a good fit to backup QB.

Not sure at all why Savage still here, or still starting, but i guess letting him start or stay helps us get higher draft picks in rounds we draft in.
