He's legitimately better than every other backup in the league and better than several starting QBs.  

I admire his charity work and he seems like a great guy. Do I think he should be blackballed from the league due to the huge circus that's around him now? No. But if he thought his protest would have no impact on his employment then he's pretty naive.

He actually did get benched in favor of Gabbert

Prior to protests and the injury you speak of that led to Gabbert starting 2016 before Kaep was ready

And BTWs... He was benched again after mustering 4 yards (Gabbert threw for 18 in his pass attempt) VS the Bears, though they'd ride him out the rest of the season.

HE NOT GOOD lulz

He was never beaten out by Gabbert. He was benched yes but not beaten out, which is what he said. 

You don't actually think Gabbert is better do you?

At this point the media circus surrounding Kap is doing far more harm than good to everyone. That rally for Kap , although noble, actively harms his chance of getting a job again in the NFL.

I support his actions, his charity work and his activism but I also understand why its such a big deal. My big problem with it all is people who try to say that he isn't being blackballed its just that he isn't good enough for the NFL, or that he isn't able to run an NFL offense. He's objectively better than a good few starters and every backup in the league. The reason he isn't playing is because of his stand. At least call a spade a spade. At very least two teams have wanted to sign him but have been blocked by ownership.
