For the white folks out here who still think Colin Kaepernick is not in the NFL because he is no longer good enough

No kidding, he was just in the SB in 2012.

NFL teams are in the business of entertaining fans, not winning games. Usually the two go hand in hand, but if an individual takes a dump on an institution many Americans hold sacred, he's going to have a hard time finding work.

He's probably good enough to start for a third of the teams in the league, but he's not good enough to be a difference maker. No one wants his baggage and the circus it will inevitably bring.

Back up qb's don't have to be that great, they have to be able be supportive in the film room and be like a player coach on the field. Kaepernick always seems like his mind is elsewhere when he's on the sidelines. Just my observations.

So, a bunch of Jewish team owners don't want the guy on their team, and white America continues to be targeted as the blame...

Go take another hit off your crackpipe, Pookie.

I'm really not sure if Kaepernick actually wants to play anymore.

That is all...

Starters get way more money, the teams are just signing backups now. Kap has an ego now and thinks he deserves to be a starter. The only 3 starters I can think of signed ahead of Kap who may be worse are Glennon (bears), McCown (Jets) and Hoyer (49ers). I think the protest hurt him amongst the GMs for sure though. Keep in mind his jersey sales were number one last year despite all the backlash he received so he would surely put fans in the stands.

If you are going to protest, you need to be better than the 29th best quarterback in the world. If Cam Newton took a knee, he would still get a job. If Tom Brady took a knee, he'd fix racism in Boston.

Kaep takes a knee, and he ran himself out of the league. He let the racists get a victory. Yes, drawing attention to the cause could be Noble, but he should have taken care of himself first.

Also, can someone explain why he opted out of his 49ers contract? No way they would have waived him, am I right?

Kaepernick has not helped himself on the field since 2012 or so. He was great that one season but has changed what worked for him then. A real shame. But in the NFL it is not just about ability and recent performance or potential. If you are disruptive politically or socially, you are out. If you beat your wife, that's just a detail. Recall one of the best kickers who was on Minnesota and then bounced from the league essentially for saying that gay marriage was copacetic. Michael Sam was SEC defensive player of the year, came out, and never got to play a down in the league during the regular season, though he was good in the preseason. Kaepernick looks like he's been blacklisted, literally. There are many examples.

It seemed like Tebow could have been a number three for some team but no one wanted him either.

Orlovsky may not be on the Rams at the start of the season.

Does it make sense to sign Kaep over Orlo as they develop Goff?

What team does Kaep make sense for?

Even if he is better than every number three and would accept third string money, would he be worth the distraction to hold the clip board all year?

It'd be really interesting to see a black NFL player raise awareness about black on black homicide, in this country. Maybe Kaep should try that.

His color has nothing to do with it. He could have done all his political work off the field. He chose to make a statement with his uniform on. When he's wearing that NFL uniform, he's an employee and his attention should be on helping his team win, not making political statements and drawing attention to himself.

Very obviously true -- which means people will be real angry about your comment.

Right. If you have any problems within your own community, you can't complain that the state kills your people with impunity.

He's a polarizing figure, he is not a leader in the huddle. You think the typical 300 pound good ole boy offensive linemen are going to risk their bodies for him?

Gimme a phucking break! Kaepernick is not in the NFL because he is not a house Negro.

Kaepernick is not in the NFL because he opted out of his contract.

You need to hire poor little snowflake Colon; he desperately needs you. He is more whiny about not playing anymore than even Johnny "Got No Money" "The Druggie" Manziel.
