Is Colin Kaepernick really a worse option than some of these backup quarterbacks?

The Colin Kaepernick saga has resulted in a host of side discussions about the situation, and quarterbacking across the NFL. The latest comes courtesy of MMQB columnist Andy Benoit. He tweeted on Tuesday that he would be the worst starter in the NFL, and the 15th best backup. NFL analyst Cian Fahey asked him what backups are better than him, and Benoit listed out the following.

Backups better than Kap: Garoppolo, Matt Moore, Colt McCoy, McCarron, Henne, Geno Smith, Stanton, Osweiler/Kessler, Chase Daniel.... https://t.co/o59dDDdfQ7
