Colin Kaepernick deserves NFL roster spot and Roger Goodell needs to make it happen

It’s time for Roger Goodell to call in a favor to one of his billionaire owner buddies or GM or coaching friends and get Colin Kaepernick signed.

As Michael Sam, the first openly gay player in the draft, was falling right off the board into free agent-ville in 2014, there were rumors that Goodell called his good friend Jeff Fisher, the Rams coach, and asked him to use one of his three seventh-round picks on Sam and save the NFL the embarrassment of having to explain how the SEC co-defensive player on the year didn’t get picked.

Colin Kaepernick deserves NFL roster spot...

Why?

[Puppage]

As Michael Sam, the first openly gay player in the draft, was falling right off the board into free agent-ville in 2014

Because he sucked.....at football.

[trisham]

Please...no.

[rjsimmon]

Based upon his stats alone, Colin would make a fine starter in the Lingerie League.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

If hating America is the qualification, Reality Winner deserves an NFL roster spot too.

YAWN

[ColdOne]

Just what the NFL needs, to p8ss off more fans.

[Bernard]

This guy had 4 or 6 seasons in the NFL. Isn’t that above average, especially for a 1-13 quarterback? Time to go sell insurance and cut the ribbon at car wash openings, Colin.

[Vic S]

Kaepernick is a worse passer than Tebow, by far.

[arrogantsob]

Sounds like a job for the Oakland/whatever Raiders.

[drypowder]

Goodell needs to distance himself and the NFL from anything Colin Kaepernick. If Kaepernick wants to be in the NFL, maybe he can be a ball washer.

"save the NFL the embarrassment of having to explain how the SEC co-defensive player on the year didn’t get picked"

Wow, and Michael Sam proved to be such an NFL-worthy player, didn't he? Couldn't catch on in the league no matter how much assistance he was given. So much for that exercise in political correctness, Roger.

Now with Kaeperdick, ofc he can play on SOME level in the NFL, he has proved that much, but he is not suited to the offensive systems of the vast majority of teams and no one wants a back-up QB who is not made for their system. Oh, and then there's the tiny matter that Kaeperdick is a cop-hating, America-hating racist POS who took over his employer's forum to make his personal political statements giving offense to millions of patriotic NFL fans..... and wow, NFL teams don't seem to want to deal with his b.s. for a marginal player.

Sux to be you, Kaeperdick! Go enjoy your ill-gotten millions and try not to spend it all too fast....

[MilesVeritatis]

NFL teams have a history bending over backwards for top players who have checkered off field histories. Kaepernick just isn’t that good at this point.

[dainbramaged]

The NFL, Crapernick, and Roger Goodell can all take a flying “F” at a rolling doughnut.

“This guy had 4 or 6 seasons in the NFL. Isn’t that above average, especially for a 1-13 quarterback? Time to go sell insurance and cut the ribbon at car wash openings, Colin.””

Car wash openings, haha, nice.

Perhaps Cupcake Kaepernick and Michael Sam can perform at state fairs.

[pgkdan]

Why exactly does he deserve a spot? Is he a quality QB? Obviously not or he would t have a butt full of splinters from riding the pine all last season.

[meyer]

Put Tebow in first.

The NFL is a merit-based entity. Bad performers don’t play. Only the best of the best. And Kaepernick is not the best of the best.

Even the Browns won’t take him. That should tell you something...

[BeauBo]

Some favor.

If you hired him, not only would you have to pay him millions, you would probably lose more in lost business. And then he would probably open his mouth again.

If someone is that dumb to hire him, it is unlikely that they would have risen to a decision-making position in the first place.

Only someone with money to burn, who cares more about leftist ideology would hire this radioactive POS.

[allendale]

Actually disappointed that the Seattle Snowflakes did not sign boy not so wonderful Kaepernick. He would fit in well there and it would give fans something to palpably hate. After all football is nothing more than a medium for fans to vent and focus their emotions in an intoxicated state. Cheaper and probably better than medication or a therapist.
