Read my og post again. I said clearly. > >A second round pick is valuable. Because of that, it >is inherently risky. A guy like Kaepernick gives you >potentially great return. I wasn't taking it as an insult or criticism. I was looking at how our particular team was constructed. When Kaep was drafted, we had nothing firmly entrenched at the QB position. To use a 2nd rounder with little money attached, regardless of how he panned out, was not what I'd call a risk. I only asked why were you calling him one because I was wondering were there any RED FLAGS on him coming out. That was it.

Its not. see above. I just thin "risk" is dependent on the team that takes him. For example, compared to what the Skins gave up for RGIII, I'd call Kaep a safe pick.
