Sorry, but all the love for Kaepernick is laughable.  On his best day, he's pedestrian.  There's a reason he's not on any roster today.  If he could make plays, Satan would be on a roster.  Mike Vick kicked around the league as a backup / starter after he served his prison sentence.  The fact that Kaepernick hasn't found another team to sign him speaks volumes about what teams think of his QB abilities.  It's not about his political views.  That simply adds to the apprehension.  If he could play, that would be an afterthought.

You absolutely, positively, cant be serious.....

Let me drink the kool-aid and put on the rose colored glasses you wear.

You cant be this oblivious FBT. Come on now. Do the Jags pay you or something. Everyone knows, whether they want to admit it or not, that CK is not getting signed because of the stance he took. 

C'mon man...

If that was the only reason he's not on this roster, some team would have taken a flyer on him and offered a contract.  The political viewpoints are nothing more than added baggage to the situation.  There are people in the league who were inked to deals for doing far worse than taking a knee during the National Anthem.  For a team like the Jaguars, he simply isn't worth the added headache of the media circus that would follow, but let's not portray it like he's being wronged strictly for his taking a knee.  There's more to it than that, and precedent in the history of the NFL to support that.  In a league where QB talent is already watered down, if he was as good as some of you fantasize him being, he'd be on a roster somewhere as a backup at least.
