Mike Florio thinks the New York Giants should consider replacing Jaxson Dart with–wait for it–Colin Kaepernick

When New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a serious knee injury on Monday night, we knew one of the usual suspects in sports media would call for the team to sign – who else? – Colin Kaepernick.

They do it every time a team loses its starting quarterback.

The question was who would make the claim first.

The list of candidates included, but was not limited to, Jemele Hill, Dan Le Batard, Mike Florio, Mina Kimes, Stephen A.

Smith, Mark Jones and Bomani Jones.

Mike Florio is the winner.

On Wednesday, the far-left sports blogger suggested the Giants bring in Kaepernick.

"With the Giants now desperate for quarterback help — and with Jake Haener and Brandon Allen as the most viable options behind new starter Jameis Winston — why not bring Kaepernick in for a look?" Florio wrote .

Florio tried arguing that Kaepernick would be a natural fit for the Giants’ offense.

"Harbaugh’s New York staff includes Greg Roman, who was the offensive coordinator during Kaepernick’s first four years in San Francisco.

It would be easy, in theory, to configure the offense to fit Kaepernick.

If Kaepernick still has the skills he had when he last played," he continued.

Although Florio acknowledged that Kaepernick might not impress during a workout, he concluded that "there’s no reason not to give it a whirl." We disagree.
