Looks like Colin Kaepernick’s legend will grow from his kneeling during the National Anthem. Kneeling was his stance in an effort to change Police brutality across this nation. Then with the unfortunate situation with George Floyd in Minneapolis, tensions have sparked high. It was the final straw that erupted this nation in protests for change. Looting unfortunately followed this demand for change. I questioned his way of doing things, kneeling like he did, when Kaepernick was on the 49ers. In practice, he wore pig socks with oinkers dressed in police uniforms. I thought the flag represents the fallen who have fought for this countries freedom. Freedom of expression is one of the things the fallen fought for. I know things need to change so we’ll feel side by side in brotherhood, just from another motherhood. I know we need police. The bad apples need to be found and discarded. The judging of the book cover needs to be looked at in a different way.

On the football field, this brings back an old subject. A very dead horse we have beat to exhaustion. Colin Kaepernick as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Kaepernick has a cult following like the movie, Red Dawn. Red Dawn did not do well years ago in the box office. Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze picked up a following when it went to video, nowadays DVD or presently streaming. Through Colin Kaepernick’s whole entire story, his following think he was one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. At present times, let’s see if Colin Kaepernick could land a starting job right now. I will take you through every team to see where Kaepernick stands versus the quarterback already in place for each franchise. How many openings as a starter would Kaepernick have a chance for?

NFC

North

BEARS:(NO) I’d rather have Nick Foles, because he beat the Evil Empire in the Superbowl.

PACKERS:(NO) Aaron Rodgers, is all I need to say.

VIKINGS:(NO) Kirk Cousins can make all the throws on the field.

LIONS: (NO) Matthew Stafford could be a top ten quarterback. Give him a running game and a better scheme.

EAST

COWBOYS:(NO) Dak Prescott is emerging as a top ten quarterback in the league.

GIANTS:(NO) I liked what I’ve seen in Daniel Jones. He has a very high ceiling.

REDSKINS:(MAYBE)Possible starting job for Kaepernick. Do you give up on a young Dwayne Haskins? I like Alex Smith over Kaepernick this go around, if he’s healthy and able to play.

EAGLES:(NO) Carson Wentz is a guy I still like even if Eagle Nation is down on him. Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts this year who is an interesting option in the future.

SOUTH

SAINTS:(NO) Drew Brees is a future hall of famer. Still playing like a 30 year old in his prime.

FALCONS:(NO) Matt Ryan and that aerial attack can be electric. Can Kap play defense?

BUCCANEERS:(NO) Only the Kaepernick faithful would say he’s better than six time Superbowl winner Tom Brady.

PANTHERS:(NO)Teddy Bridgewater waited and proved himself as a full time starter in this league. That’s why the Panthers invested heavily on him.

WEST

49ERS:(NO) Kap’s former team is no dice. Jimmy Garoppolo’s winning percentage and the team has this guy’s back.

SEAHAWKS:(NO) Russell Wilson could take over the whole downtown area. Instead of only a few blocks like that terrorist unit holding up in the coffee shop, or whereever the mayor of that city is letting them camp out.

LA RAMS:(NO) Gared Goff was able to play the full season and playoffs to lead the Rams to the yawn of all Superbowls. Kaepernick arrived as most of the heavy lifting was done all ready.

CARDINALS:(NO) The future Patrick Mahomes of the league in Kyle Murray with how the Cardinals fly these days.

AFC

EAST

PATRIOTS:(YES) I think right now Kaepernick is better than what the Patriots have, including journeyman Brian Hoyer. Can you picture Coach Belichick working with Kaepernick? The luck the Evil Empire has means just watch the young Jarrett Stidham take the league by surprise.

BILLS:(NO) Josh Allen means to Buffalo what Jim Kelly means to Bills today. Allen has not reached his full potential. When he does, the Bills will even be better.

JETS:(NO) As long as Sam Darnold can avoid any virus, bug, or flu, he spells out J-E-T-S.. New York better have him quarantined on some military secret base like Area 51 so he be able to play this season.

DOLPHINS:(NO) I’d rather Ryan Fitzpatrick as my bridge quarterback over Kaepernick. This team will be Tua Tagovailoa. Tua might win the preseason camp like Russell Wilson did his rookie year in Seattle.

NORTH

RAVENS:(NO) LAMAR JACKSON IS WHO KAEPERNICK WISHES HE COULD BE OR COULD HAVE BEEN.

STEELERS:(NO) Big Ben’s clock is ticking to the end. If Big Ben is fully recovered, he can easily get the Steelers back in the playoffs. Plus the Steelers’ quarterback room with Mason got my bell rung. Rudolph and the Duck Man got some experience with Ben Roethlisberger MIA last year due to early season injury.

BENGALS:(MAYBE) Can Kaepernick be a bridge type quarterback for number one draft pick Joe Burrow? I don’t see that situation playing out. Bengals will have Burrow on the field game  unless some freak injury.

BROWNS:(NO) No way you giving up on a young talent like Baker Mayfield. Problem in Cleveland is making the right hire as head coach.

SOUTH

COLTS:(NO) Phillip Rivers had a bad year last season for the Chargers. A bad year by Rivers might equal a good year for some. (Kaepernick) Rivers united with former coach Frank Reich in Indianapolis may be what the doctor ordered for both parties.

TEXANS:(NO) Deshaun Watson won a playoff game last year which might be just the beginning for this franchise. His college resume should have been looked at by the Bears.

JAGUARS:(YES) When it comes to quarterbacks in the NFL, Jacksonville has no clue. This franchise seems like they can’t find their Mark Brunell. It’s like they look under the wrong rocks for the most important position on the field. I like the progress Gardner Minshew has made. However the way Jaguars handle quarterbacks, Minshew might regress and Kaepernick may have an edge.

TITANS:(NO) Ryan Tannehill earned that position when you wipe out the Evil Empire from the playoffs and could possibly sent the dark side in a permanent tail spin.

WEST

CHIEFS:(NO) Patrick Mahomes is the last quarterback to have gone to see Mickey Mouse in Disney World.

BRONCOS:(NO) Drew Lock puts a padlock on the starting job in Denver.

LA CHARGERS:(YES) Who’s better, Tyrod Taylor or Coin Kaepernick? I give a slight edge to Kaepernick. Hold the phone because this gig would only be temporary as the job will eventually go to first round draft pick Justin Herbert.

RAIDERS:(NO) Derek Carr with Jon Gruden as a QB/Coach relationship is only going to get better. Plus Carr has more weapons on the way, due to the draft.

Out of 30 teams in the NFL, I have found 5 possible starting jobs for Colin Kaepernick. The Redskins is a maybe because I think Dwayne Haskins will take that job. That leaves the Patriots, Chargers, and Jaguars as the only teams with questionable starters at this time. The Bengals as a possible bridge style quarterback. Have we forgotten to mention the fig newton? Yes, Cam Newton remains on the open market as a free agent. If I wanted a starter and my choices were Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick… oh goodness, get me a revolver to blow my brains out with these two. Cam Newton easily is the better option over Colin Kaepernick.

Colin Kaepernick has not played an NFL game in multiple years. Last season, he invited teams to watch him train. At the last minute, he changed the location. WHY?? Kaepernick makes more money just being an activist. Plus he has perception which people still have etched in his mind about that run he had with the 49ers that got them into the Superbowl. His last season he played with the 49ers, he was just below average behind center. It was a bad team, but the league figured out Kaepernick relatively quickly. If Kaepernick can’t run and can’t escape the pocket collapsing behind center, he does have a strong arm to complete passes of 20 yards or more downfield.

Kaepernick asked for a boatload of money when the AAF knocked on his door to be in that league. Money is something the league did not have. In the XFL this season, P.J. Walker was the best QB in the league. As soon as the XFL closed up shop, Walker was immediately scooped up by the Carolina Panthers. Colin Kaepernick, if he wants to return to the gridiron, will have to earn his stripes again and be a backup. Wait for another opportunity and then show us what we have missed here. I’m not buying that Kaepernick wants to play the game. The more years go by, his football story becomes even bigger. Like the size of the fish that the tale grows bigger by the year. Prove it to shut me up or the following that you have, that think you were bigger than Tom Brady on the field.
