Have you seen some of the back up QBs in the league?

It's pretty clear that Kaepernick is being blackballed but I don't see how in the world he going to be able to prove it.

It doesn't matter if he could prove it, the NFL has a labor exemption that will be found to permit their actions. They aren't subject to discrimination or anti-trust laws like normal businesses when it comes to players unless it's specifically spelled out in the CBA.

Because he's a bad quarterback?
Why did he get benched in place of Blaine?

After several weeks Blaine got benched in favor of Colin. The 49ers QB situation was totally botched that year.

Because they dont/didnt actually care about Kaeps point and just wanted some attention.

Every player who does something made it very clear he is doing it for the same reason Kaepernick did.

Kaep is the only bad player who protested then opted out of his contract after losing his job to Gabbert. No one was released because he protested, but Kaep isnt good enough to be signed off the street after doing so. The owners are trying to have it both ways and are going to anger EVERYONE eventually.

Comparing him to other bad quarterbacks, do you think he is actually worse than all of them, including Gabbert, Glennon, Fitzpatrick, Barkley, Sanchez, and guys you never heard of?
Each of the And you mentioned are not read option QBS.   You are trying to talk apples to oranges.  To plead your case.  

And yes with every one of those and mentioned.  All can throw halfway decent.   And not just a run first QB. 

The ones to compare should be RG3, Tebow, Manziel, Vick, Etc.   How many of them are starting QBS? 

Read option was exposed.  And that's why he is not on a team.  He was about to be on Seattle and let go.  

Due to wilson could throw.  He could not.

Since when is a back-up quality QB worth all of the negativity that will come with signing him? Dude averages 185 YPG and has 72 TDs over 6 seasons.

He's garbage and still riding the coattails of his 2013 season when everyone thought he was one of the promising young QBs.

He's garbage.
