The Washington Redskins signed Josh Johnson to fill their quarterback void late Tuesday.
The Redskins’ quarterback problems have only continued to get worse after backup Colt McCoy got hurt Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles. That left Mark Sanchez as the guy to lead the way.
Some speculated this was finally the opening Colin Kaepernick had been waiting for. The team even openly admitted they had taken a look at the former 49ers quarterback. (RELATED: Here Are The Best Moments From NFL Week 13)
Well, fans of the national anthem kneeling quarterback had their hopes dashed when Johnson, who was recently selected in the inaugural AAF draft, was inked to a deal to backup Sanchez.
There’s truly nothing funnier than people honestly believing Kaepernick is going to get another shot, and then watching some other guy get signed. It’s even funnier because Johnson threw his last pass in the NFL back in 2011.
It will never ever get old. I hope this trend happens for the next decade, and I’ll keep laughing to the bank the whole way.
Why would the Redskins sign Kaepernick to be a backup knowing the media circus that’ll come with him? Backups are supposed to sit silently and not cause a distraction. That’s the exact opposite effect Kaep would have.
They can keep hoping forever, and it’s just not going to happen. Welcome back to reality everybody. As for Johnson, the Redskins’ season is over, but at least he’ll get a few more NFL paychecks. You can’t ever hate a guy for getting his money.
Now, prepare for the Kaepernick fans to really dig in. Crack a beer, smile and laugh with the rest of us.
Mark Bumchez!
And Nike stock isn’t exactly breaking any records either.
Krapernick fans can go suck an egg.
Doesn't the media get it? No team will sign Kaepernick because it will alienate at least half of their fan base. Maybe more. And he is a cancer in the locker room.
Hey, Krappernick can work for CNN.
He’d actually raise the company IQ.
And fit CNN’s image perfectly.
The NFL is still open for business?
Who knew?
I thought they had shut down about the end of October.
Oops, my bad. I was thinking of Sears/K-Mart.
For a Cowboys fan, I am happy and not just cuz we beat them.
......and to top it off they’re STILL CALLED THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!!
I wonder why ESPN hasn't signed him yet.
We can laugh at Kaepernick, but Nike is paying him like he’s the second or third best QB in the league.
Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio opined that since the Redskins just claimed Rueben Foster, that they should claim that Kareem Hunt from the Chiefs, and then sign Krapernick. He figured since your signing thugs get the those two and by signing Krapernick everyone would focus on him and not the other two.
“Krapernick fans can go suck an egg.”
I think PETA will have trouble with that comment.:-)

After what happened to Tebow I have even less sympathy for this America hater.
Off course you understand that Colin has made more money not playing. If he actually took a job, people would see that he sucks. But for now he looks like a guy to has been shut out of the league for showing disrespect to our armed forces that protect our country. Which is perfectly fine to me. Others disagree. And those others will buy Nike. I won’t.
Who exactly are these Kaepernick fans?
No. Ha Ha is defensive back.

The NFL is an entertainment business. And Colin Kaepernick fans are not the ones buying tickets or sitting on the couch for 5 hours to watch a game. Hiring him won’t change that but will likely drive other fans away.
They’d be better off complaining that Cher hasn’t hired Kaepernick to open her shows. I’m sure Kaepernick has cross-over appeal with many other entertainers if Chere doesn’t want him and any of them could boost ticket sales which he cannot do for the NFL. How many rap “artists” are touring right now who haven’t hired the kneeler? Kaepernick fans better not be using “talent” as a reason no rapper wants him to open their show - then again, they probably have no idea about his football talent and don’t care if he ruins a football game.
Neither will the Tim Tebow fans.
