I’m torn – really torn – about the Browns’ interest in trading for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

On one hand, I think it’s OK. Head coach Hue Jackson is the smartest man, and the one I trust the most, in the Browns organization. He has a great understanding of quarterbacks and offense, and how to develop both. Jackson is pursuing Kaepernick obviously because he believes in him, and Kaepernick, in turn, apparently believes in Jackson because he reportedly wants to go to Cleveland to work under the coach.

So if Jackson likes Kaepernick, then there’s a big part of me that has to go along with that. Jackson has forgotten more about quarterback play in the last 10 minutes than all of us combined together will know in 10 lifetimes. So what we think can’t hold a candle to what he thinks.

The Browns have desperately needed not just a good quarterback, let alone an elite one, in forever, and Jackson must think he can transform Kaepernick into that guy.

So it’s a deal then? The Browns should go get Kaepernick, right?

Uh, to borrow a saying from Lee Corso, not so fast, my friend.

There are some major pieces of Kaepernick’s game that I don’t like.

I don’t think he stands in the pocket with enough authority. He seems to have happy feet. That’s good. It’s a big-boy position in a big-boy sport, and you’ve to be unafraid to take a hit, or even a lot of lot of hits.

I don’t think he’s accurate at all. That’s a real big deal. There is little room for error – little room for being off-target – in the NFL. The windows to deliver the ball are tighter that tight.

And I think he’s got a little Robert Griffith III in him in that he can’t make up his mind if he wants to be a passer or a runner. He doesn’t know what the right ratio should be in that regard. As such, he constantly looks confused. He’s not really good at either one.

He hasn’t played well the last couple of years. Sure, he was great earlier, but this league is about what a player has done lately. Three years ago is ancient history.

With all that having been said, then, I have serious questions if Kaepernick is the right quarterback for the Browns not only now, but also if can ever be, even with Jackson’s guiding hand. So is it really a good idea to trade for him?

But at the same time, if this is going to be Jackson’s team to build the way he wants to build it, shouldn’t he have the final say, and have his way on, such a big part of that plan?

I don’t know the answer to any of these questions, which, like I said, is why I’m torn – really torn.

It’s OK is I’m torn, or you all are torn.

The only one who has to be sure if Hue Jackson, for he will ultimately be celebrated for his decision on this issue, or be harshly criticized for it.
