I know people are excited about the prospect of Colin Kaepernick returning to the NFL possibly in light of recent events that seem to place him on the right side of history. However, i doubt seriously he'll ever get signed by an NFL team again honestly. No, i don't care what Pete Caroll and all these other coaches are saying because they're all obviously lying, and I would say that to their faces that they're liars. Period.
As far as I'm concerned until one of these coaches legit has Kap work out for them for a tryout, then they're lying. Period.
Plus, I think most people that are rooting for Kap to get back into the NFL because he was on the right side of history because of his protests are forgetting something very important. Colin Kaepernick kind of sucks as a player. No, I'm not hating the guy for his protests or because he's half black. I'm saying that because he literally sucked as a player.
The man couldn't read defenses to save his life. He has zero pocket presence. Bad footwork. He was a one year fluke basically. He became injury prone towards his last few seasons, and he lost his starting job to arguably one of the worst career backup quarterbacks in the league in Blane Gabbert, and Blane freaking sucks. Yet it seems like the media is hyping up Kap to be the second coming of Joe Montana, and making it seem like the only reason he's not in the NFL anymore is because of his protests, when that's factually incorrect. Yes, I'm sure his protests had something to with it, but I think the fact that he sucks as a player at his position plays a much bigger role, but that's just me.
Plus, when he left the 49ers, he was given opportunities to play for other teams, but he blew those chances because he was intentionally trying to be a martyr.
When the Ravens tried to sign him, Kap's girlfriend was openly calling the Ravens' owner a racist, yet we're supposed to be surprised Kap never signed with the Ravens after that?
Then when the Miami Dolphins showed interest in him a few years ago, he was literally doing interviews wearing a Fidel Castro shirt fully knowing that over half of Miami's fan base were refugees from Cuba, so is it really any surprise why he's not with the Dolphins now?
Look, I'm not saying there's not a coercion in the NFL to keep Colin out of the league, as Im sure there was, but we need to admit that part of the reason Kap isn't in the league is pretty much his own fault when you look at all the evidence.
Prove me wrong by stating your arguments.
