He wasn't playing at a high level when he got blackballed (and yes, he was black balled, but had he been good, someone would have signed him), so no, he's not able to do it after sitting out.
He's not interested in playing. Why would he be when he can get paid big bucks for being woke with Disney and Nike without having to put his body on the line?
The biggest lie about Kaepernick is that he was a great qb. He's just not. If I'm an owner, I would much rather take my chances on someone that's not a 59% completion guy, career wise.
Except he was in 2016. You obviously can’t compare 11 games games to full season straight up, but his 2016 average yards per game is within the range of what he was averaging per game in 2013 and 2014, which you said were good and great, respectively.
Assumee he didn't sign the deal he did yesterday. Patrick Mahomes could come out, called cops pigs, said he was kneeling for the anthem every game he could, and that he would spot on cops kids when he had the chance, and KC would still keep him because he's worth it. Kapernick was not going to ever be worth the baggage that came with him. Once he made his stance, he was done.
You’d rather sign: EJ Manuel Aaron Murray Matt Schaub Kellen Klemmens Josh McCown Garett Gilbert Mark Sanchez David Fales Matt McGloin TJ Yates Peter Pujals Jack Heneghan Austin Allen Alex Tanner Tim Boyle Nic Shimonek Just to name a few QBs signed since he became an NFL free agent, over Colin Kaepernick?
And then he voided his contract (and I know he was going to be cut anyway). No one was ever going to sign him with what came with him.
In 17, if I can sign him without the baggage, sure, I'll do it if I need a backup or I'm a lower middle of the road team that doesn't expect playoffs and not sold on my QB.
This is the strangest part of the ole Kap argument. The part where it is decided he wasn't that good. He was definitely middle of the pack in the NFL when his career ended.
Washington should have signed him when they had lost all 3 of their quarterbacks for the season, if it was about winning games.
You keep saying things like this, yet you won’t address the fact that his 11 games stretch in 2o16 projects to be at or near what he did over 16 games in 2013 and 2014 which you called good and great, respectively.
