He would be a corrosive influence on team cohesiveness and morale.

Nothing else need be considered.

in the NFL...these “running” qb’s get figured out pretty quick....they cant read defenses quick enough and just take off running...they never last.

From what they showed of his throwing, before they moved the cameras, he couldn’t hit the receivers. I would not even call him average. There was no one defending.

he was an average QB, certainly not a star talent...
he had a very very good job and he deliberately destroyed it for himself
he didn’t just once accidentally make a mistake
he acted intentionally and contemptuously
(and besides, insulting your paying customers/fans is never a great success strategy, ha!)

They do not see the NFL - or other professional leagues - as meritocracies which are intentionally blind to political orientation, and view their insistence on rewarding success and punishing failure as a tool of suppression.

If it's about race - FINE - then 70% of all players MUST be WHITE. YOU can't have it both ways Kaepernick - it's either political or merit... it's NOT activism bullying so whatever 'team' Kaepernick is on gets the 'win'...

Calling this guy average is a compliment

Colin believed that his SJW stats would get him a better deal, that is why he left the 49ers. It did not happened. If someone gave him that advice, they were a bigger fool then Colin was.

NFL cares about your athletic stats/ability/wins/losses, the SJW crap means nothing to a winning team. If this guy was an above average quarterback, he would have been playing by now.

Colin just needs to face the fact that he is retired from the NFL. Go find something else to do or destroy.

I’d like to see Kaepernick re-enter the league: fumble on the first series, throw and interception on the second, and have his head taken off on the third.

Hey, slave, if you are going to put a slave's name on your shirt, why not use a NON-fictional character who was written about by someone who is/was a NON-plagiarist?

The story going around behind closed doors in the offices of NFL teams is that there’s a general consensus among team owners and GMs that Colin Kaepernick has no interest in playing pro football anymore.


Sounds right, I think he is doing this stuff to keep his name relevant. He is looking commercial spots, etc (the easy money)

“ in the NFL...these “running” qb’s get figured out pretty quick....they cant read defenses quick enough and just take off running...they never last.” * Some CFL team might take him. He might be expected to stand and sing Oh Canada though 😂.....

He was on the low end of average when he was let go... After 3 years of not playing in the league... I’d say odds are he is well below that....

NFL should be ashamed of themselves for even giving this bozo the time of day...they are only not just starting to recover from the damage this buffoon did to their brand.

Once the defense took away his primary receiver, he sucked.... Pretty much as you pointed out....

He was a low average QB at the time he was let go....

And after 3 years of not playing I am sure he’s less than that....

NFL were beyond dumb to give this guy the time of day... they are only JUST starting to recover from the damage he did to their brand...

Well why wouldn’t he think it would up his chances? After all a guy who didn’t deserve anything on merit came out and got a deal just because he came out.. of course he never made it to actual play in a real game because he wasn’t good enough... and eventually wound on someones practice squad for a bit before being gone all together...

NFL pandered with that draft... so he thought he could get some too..
