Excuses???? That’s hilarious. Perhaps the rest of the talk radio yakkers + writers should go stand in the corner + shake themselves until they get Smack themselves into getting some common sense.

Self-inflicted, deservedly reaping what he has sown & it looks like it’s a ‘bumper’ crop.

Colin Kaepernick is responsible for a permanent 3% drop in NFL game viewership. Add to that the left’s desire to destroy football because it is too related to free enterprise where the ability of the players and the marketplace determines salaries.

The leftists want the football players to conform to their version of “fairness” with room for transgenders, homosexuals, etc. They are using the excuse that there is too much roughness in the sport, too many concussions, etc.

Professional football, as we know it, is on its way out. The high water mark took place in years past. Thanks to players like Kaepernick we are at the beginning of the end.

Hey, ESPN and NFL idiots:

This is about MONEYm understand? MONEY and nothing else.

Any team which signs Kaepernick would cost themselves MONEY.

Therefore, NO team will sign Kaepernick.

If Kaepernick could MAKE money for any team, somebody would SIGN him.

Did you see what this idiot did this last 4th of July?

The a--hole Colin Kaepernick hates America, sympathizes with the Regimes of killers like Fidel Castro, and is thus absolute POISON to the financial bottom line of ANY NFL team he would ever sign with.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that Colin Kaepernick personally flushed his own NFL career down the toilet. Period. End of story.

Those are the FACTS.

Thank you for your time...

That's because NFL fans are apparently not interested in Colin Kaepernick. Buy a clue, morons...

Poor Colin Kaepernick. No one wants to hire a Social Justice Warrior snowflake.

“He sucks at QB.”

Okay, I’m no John Elway, but I don’t remember anyone saying that Tebow sucked while he was taking the Broncos to the playoffs—as a rookie, wasn’t it?

“Right now he is having the time of his life in the minors. He’s happy and loving his life, and drawing record crowds, and “no complaints”. Blacklisting for Tim was a blessing in disguise.”

Good points all.

By their fruits...

>>Okay, I’m no John Elway, but I don’t remember anyone saying that Tebow sucked while he was taking the Broncos to the playoffs—<<

8-6 record with a 72 passer (75 overall) rating and a >50% Int/TD ratio — pretty dismal.

caperdink, by comparison, was an 81 passer at his low point (89 overall) and a 41% Int/TD rating.

The stats don’t always tell the story, either. It is WHEN the INTs happen and WHICH games are lost and how.

They both suck but Tebow was even worse than caperdink. A lot worse.

I liked Tebow and am happy he has a burgeoning career in baseball. But liking him doesn’t make him better.

In my view, statistics don’t tell the whole story.

Yet some of these networks are having such a cow that teams and fans are rejecting him that I am surprised they haven’t tried to get the commissioner to “order” a team to take him.

That was included in my comment.

Tebow was bad and at the worst times.

We should all be glad he went to baseball. Baseball players suffer few of the physical ailments that stalk football players for the rest of their lives after football.

He went 24-15 under Jim Harbaugh, and 4-2 in the playoffs.

Harbaugh left.

Kaepernick went 3-16 as a starter after that. Last year, he was sacked twice as often (9.6% of drop backs vs 6.4%) as his own backup, Blaine Gabbert, behind the same O-line.... and he turns 30 this year, 3 tears removed from his last solid won.

NOBODY stays in the NFL at age 30 going 3-16. It has NOTHING to do with the anthem. Kaepernick's best chance is to follow Harbaugh to the University of Michigan.

Kaepernick is being blackballed because he sucks. I watched him against the Pats last year. He actually look good for a quarter. Then the Pats figured him out and he was terrible the rest of the game. I know, the Pats were the best team in the league, but still, he was awful.
