Same deal with Kapernick.
I submit that BOTH resulted in them being goners.
Kapernick was certainly good enough as a back up in a league sorely needing good back ups.
But you’re not good enough to start AND you did something DISASTROUS and toxic to any team that hires you?
You’re out.
Tom Brady could kneel, lay down or smoke a cigarette during the Anthem and after all the outcries, he would have six teams vying for him if the Pats let him go..
It’s all relative.
