Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles took a massive gamble in the offseason by swapping Nick Foles for Sam Bradford. They are a talented team with dangerous offensive weapons such as Jordan Matthews and DeMarco Murray, but they needed a quarterback to make everything click. Sam Bradford is a talented quarterback when healthy, but he has an extensive injury history. 

Moreover, Bradford appears set to leave the team via free agency, which means that finding a quarterback will be the Eagles’ top priority this offseason.

Under the guidance of Chip Kelly, Philadelphia might be the best place for Kaepernick to undergo a career resurgence. Kaepernick would thrive under a system that would make the most of his mobility. Having a trio of DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, and Darren Sproles at running back means that Kaepernick can take pressure off of them when he does decide to run. He could add an extra dimension of explosiveness that has been lacking from this Eagles team throughout the majority of this season.

Of all the teams that need help at the quarterback position, the Eagles have the best coach and system for Kaepernick to come in and make a difference.
