Kapernick would probably make a pretty good tight end.
Chances are good his gf is giving him plenty of workouts at that position.

Colon Krappingdyck is a talentless lackluster player.
The only reason he gets any attention is because “omg, he’s a person of coloooor”.
In a field where others have vastly more talent than he does.
And talent wins games, not skin tone or “soshul juss uss”.

Meh, one sucked as a player and repelled fans. The other is a great player and packs stadiums.

the other thing is there are a ton of non white players who should not even be on teams...their off court and on court behavior is atrocious...many lack intelligence or team spirit....they’re kept around because we just can’t fire these non whites...

I'm not sure this is a great decision by Tebow. He has a beautiful wife and endless opportunity in sports media, and he is choosing to risk suffering a life-altering injury by returning to the NFL at a rather advanced age. He should have tried switching positions several years ago, at least.

But it's true that the tears from the pro-Kaepernick crowd are quite entertaining...

I will wish him well.
I stopped watching NFL.

If he does a spectacular something.
My Teabow rookie card will be worth bling.

Now it’s a couple bucks.
Kinda sucks.

Tebow will sell tons of tickets and jerseys even if he stinks.
Jax is home.

Tebow set the UF leg press record. He is a physical specimen.

Maybe someone should sign Colin to a Tight End position ? After all, Tebow was QB and is making a comeback at a new position? Bet you could make some libs cringe with that bit of information.

Recall Freddie Solomon who was a star QB at the University of Tampa (when it existed), was signed by the Dolphins and had a successful career as a (I believe wide?) receiver.

And Tebow went to the tryout. Kaepernick had a tryout and then blew it off.

Kap krapped on his own opportunity and disrupted the schedules and plans of many NFL team reps. Like going to a prospective employers interview and telling them you want the interview at a different location. Yeah, right...

I bet if Colon were to have agreed to league minimum he’d have had a chance.

I remember Solomon from the Montana era 49ers where he played WR.

Its a smart low risk move signing Tebow. If he makes the team he will be a positive influence on rookie QB Trevor Lawrence too.

IIRC, Kap’s other problem was some teams were interested in him as a backup but he refused to take backup pay. The Broncos were actually interested in him but got the back of his hand.

Freddie Solomon (January 11, 1953 – February 13, 2012) was a professional American football player who was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 2nd round of the 1975 NFL Draft. A native of Sumter, South Carolina, he was a graduate of Sumter High School class of 1971. A 5’11”, 184-lb. wide receiver from the University of Tampa (where he had played quarterback), Solomon played in 11 NFL seasons for the Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers from 1975 to 1985. On December 5, 1976, Solomon had a career game, with 5 catches for 114 yards and a touchdown, 1 rushing attempt for 59 yards and a touchdown, and a punt return for 79 yards and a touchdown.[1] Solomon won two Super Bowls as a member of the 49ers.[2]

On “The Catch”, Dwight Clark’s famous leaping grab that helped the 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys in the 1982 NFC Playoffs, Solomon was the primary target on the play, but slipped coming out of his cut. Solomon made several key plays on the 49ers final drive of that game.[3][4]

Solomon died on February 13, 2012 after a nine-month battle with colon and liver cancer.
