The Twitter universe exploded with plenty of hot takes after another white backup quarterback was signed before the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who infamously refused to stand for the anthem.

Dear @NFL,

Colin Kaepernick is a better quarterback than Brandon Weeden. We all know that. Let him play!

Sincerely, America

Brandon Weeden over Colin Kaepernick is booger over steak. Owners can kneel, loop arms all they want. It’s bullshit spin PR. Nothing more.

DOH! Well, we have the folks who no longer watch because of the kneeling and we have the folks who no longer watch because craperknick ain't hired yet. Still sounds like a lose/lose for the nfl to me. I like it. Good luck Brandon. Even though the viewership will probably be lower again this week than it was last week. ;-)

Bring politics into your profession at your peril.

Duh.

Only friends can see my facebook page, and nobody I work with is a facebook friend. There is a reason for this.

Ah, let’s see... Kaepernick embarrassed team, he quit, he has turned down offers, and, besides, maybe these other players are better players, less risk, more promise. Who wants to hire a disrespectful, troublemaking, quitter?

LOL! I’m sorry that it makes me chuckle cause the fasctifas will just use it as more proof that the owners are racist.

Any team that hires Kaepernick is screwed. Not only would it ramp upthe protests against that team, they wouldn’t be able to release Kaepernick.

As a player and the division he brings to the team and the fan base.

Who knows how much money Kap wants to play backup QB or whether he’s willing to play second string at all?

Weeden was signed as a backup. There were reports that at least two teams were interested in signing Kaepernick over the summer but would not guarantee him starting roles or starter money. Kaepernick turned them both down. I don’t see him accepting the Titan’s offer under these circumstances either.

Maybe the Titans know that signing that punk wouldn't go down well with the fans.That,alone,is reason enough not to sign him...apart from his dismal record.

The Giants...Jets...Patriots...Bears....Rams....Redskins,etc could sign him without fear of fan blowback.IOW,teams in Rat Party strongholds.

Nashville is *not* a Rat Party stronghold.

I think the girlfriend plays a bigger part in his pariah status than generally reported.
