It's obnoxious that Colin Kaepernick still hasn't been at least invited to a team's training camp, let alone not be a starting quarterback for an NFL team. There are a few teams that desperately need a quarterback the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and the Denver Broncos.
Yesterday the Miami Dolphins signed Jay Cutler, to a one year $10 million dollar deal. This is very shocking since Jay Cutler is coming off shoulder surgery. Jay Cutler only threw for 1,059 passing yards, four touchdown passes, four interceptions, and five fumbles in his five games before a season ending shoulder injury. Not to mention, Jay Cutler quarterback rating was 27.9. Some NBA players averaged more points per game than Cutler's QBR. That is flat out horrible; it is no way a retired Quarterback should get picked over Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick isn't perfect, but he was able to throw for 2,241 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and only four interceptions in twelve games.
The Cleveland Browns desperately need a quarterback; Brock Osweiler is not the answer. He is more inconsistent than the stock market. Osweiler threw 16 interceptions and 15 touchdowns. DeShone Kizer still needs practice and to gain NFL experience before he becomes the starter. Kaepernick would have helped this team tremendously. Plus Hue Jackson loves mobile quarterbacks.
With Ryan Tannehill, having yet another knee injury, the Dolphins were desperate for a quarterback. We all know Jay Cutler wasn't the answer. Their excuse was that Jay Cutler knew the system. The real reason was they didn't want to deal with the media attention from Kaepernick's social justice stand.
The NFL should be ashamed, that NFL players can hit women, steal merchandise, kill people, and get a fine and a suspension and will be back on the field like nothing happened. But, if a man stands up for something he believes in he gets chastised and blackballed. That says a lot about the NFL thinking; it shows the NFL is still afraid of change.
You the mean to tell the New York Jets didn't need Colin Kaepernick. They rather have Christian Hackenberg over Colin Kaepernick, that's absurd.
The Denver Broncos are a quarter back away from another Super Bowl run; now I'm not saying Kaepernick is a superstar quarterback. But, he would give the Denver Broncos a better shot at a championship run, then Trevor Siemian.
The NBA is light years ahead of the NFL, in regards to letting their players use freedom of speech. We have seen the NBA players wear I can't breathe shirts after Eric Garner lost his life to a police officer choking him. The NFL has yet to do that; the NBA commissioner praises NBA stars for using their platform to speak on something they believe in. The only thing you hear the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, talk about is who is fining and suspending.
But ask yourself with the talent Kaepernick has, would he be out of a job if he played in the NBA?
