NFL quality of play isn't worse (but Colin Kaepernick might make it better)

Does the NFL have a quality of play problem? Over the first two weeks of the season, it's fair to say that the league hasn't exactly delivered much in the way of exciting action. After a thrilling season opener between the Chiefs and Patriots, national contests such as Seahawks-Packers, Giants-Cowboys and Texans-Bengals have been marred by dismal offensive line play. We've had eight games decided by more than 20 points through two weeks, double last year's total, and that's without getting to the Lions and Giants on Monday Night Football.
