He put up one of the worst seasons of all time. You obviously, like in most things, have no clue.

You didn’t read my post. You just got angry. I don’t know whether you know anything at all about the NFL but, if you do, you will know that every roster typically carries 3 quarterbacks. You should have a look, eg, at the spuds they bring in at my team when Rodgers gets injured. Kaepernick makes them look third rate (which is about what they are, usually). It simply cannot be said by any intelligent observer of the game that he wasn’t/isn’t good enough to be one of the almost 100 quarterbacks employed in the NFL. That was my point.

Except he wasn't trying out as a second/third stringer.

That's when he wasn't blowing off NFL tryouts to run his own show.

Of course owners are gunshy about recruiting someone who's going to bring disrepute to their organization as well as offering some truly mediocre play. Malthouse talked about having two sets of rules for your stars and the same applies in any sport.

He sucked and got cut.

“Regardless of politics or not, he has a very, very big uphill battle to make this team,” Glazer said. “I’d be shocked if he’s on the 49ers by the time this season ends. It has nothing to do with political views whatsoever. He lost a ton of weight this offseason, had three surgeries, couldn’t work out, lost that double threat, that size-speed ratio. No political views, he just hasn’t been effective. He’s regressing as a player. I’d be shocked if he’s on this roster by the end of this year. He may not be on it in the next two weeks.”

The NFL has long since paid him compensation to settle his collusion case. It is generally thought the settlement was of the order of between about $30 million to $40 million. I bet that if you got sacked, couldn’t get another job in your industry because everyone conspired to preclude you being employed and then you brought a collusion case and got paid $30 million to settle it, you’d think it was fair to conclude that you were sacked because you “sucked”, too.

You’re just not interested in dealing with the actual argument. I’m not going to engage further with you about this, since you obviously have no idea about the NFL and are just most unfairly smearing Kaepernick.

You're not going to engage because you're wrong, but whatever gets you through the night.
