Mmmmmmmmmmmmm I'm gonna stick to my guns, and my eyeballs, on this one.

Kaepernick was a good QB, and had plenty in the tank when he started kneeling. Like I said earlier, for various reasons, no way Khan could touch him. Dallas's owner Jimmy Johnson (just kidding, Bullseye), also wasn't going to touch him. Of the other 30 teams, probably 10 signed QBs in a prominent backup role or at starter that were worse than Kaepernick during his time unemployed. Including his old team.

Who knows, maybe his beatdown of the Jags in London in 2013 is sticking in my brain. By the way, in both 2012 and 2013, the 9ers playoff run ended with losses to the eventual SB champions.

I don't think Kaepernick was suddenly finished after 2 great years. He was good enough to play in the NFL. I'll finish with this: I could see how, without collusion or malice aforethought for Kaepernick, 32 teams didn't want to risk alienating their fanbase to upgrade their offense.
