I don't know if he is a starter quality QB. He might not be outside of a year or two in a tailor fit system. Maybe he can turn it around ala Alex Smith. I do, however, struggle to see how he's not better than some of the backups in the NFL at a minimum. He isn't better than Blaine Gabbert? Give me a break.

CK and BLM are pretty dumb. Not for their stated message or concerns but rather because they think they can convince a massive group of people with ingrained presuppositions and, in some cases, latent racism for other groups that their prideful ignorance is wrong. It won't happen. To much work has been done on the propaganda (southern strategy was a masterful success) and their self identity is on the line here.

Clutching your pearls and claiming to be offended by CK's actions rings about as hollow as possible. You don't get to defend and applaud the the guy who's entire deal is insulting people, places, and things incessantly and then claim CK goes too far for your delicate sensibilities. Insulting Americans by name or American cities by name is ok, but kneeling before the flag rather than standing is too far? You all are about as transparent as possible in your lack of consistency. Hypocrisy thy name is conservative.
