We can spend hours dissecting Kaepernick's abilities as a player, but comparing him to the dozens of other quarterbacks who've played in the three years he's been sidelined — some of them stars, many of them hacks — is beside the point.


No LA Times it is the point. You hire the best person for the job. Could be why your staff is so incompetent that your readership has plummeted. Anyhow it doesn't matter no one is going to watch the NFL this year.

A quarterback? He should be the ONLY quarterback. He can switch his jersey after each change of possession, and can fly to other cities after each game is over.

Only job he’s good for is a biomass container cleaner he likes to kneel anyway.

Never a great player and he has been out of the league to long. In his last season it almost looked like he was throwing the games he was so bad and then he was benched. I don’t understand why he should have a job in the NFL. Of course it is symbolic.

No one ever gave me a job. I earned or created every job I ever held. But they’re right. The only way divisive 2-14 loser Colin K can get a job is to be given one.

I don’t think Kaepernick wants a spot on an NFL team anymore. Better to be the angry black QB denied a role because of his race than get put into a starting role and flop spectacularly.

Apologize for what? He’s still an America hating, Che Guevera supporting commie who leads the charge disrespecting our flag and national anthem.

Kaepernick is a fourth rate quarterback. No team carries four quarterbacks. No team has to worry about losing three quarterbacks in a game because of all the rules protecting quarterbacks. Kaepernick does not have the abilities required to compete for an NFL quarterback position.

For what job might Kaepernick be qualified? Can he yell, “Popcorn! Get your popcorn here!” But I would hate to see him replace an existing vendor.

Take the politics out of the discussion, Kaepernick is a mediocre athlete. His numbers do not back up his claim that the NFL is discriminating against him. On a good pro team Kaepernick would be fortunate to be a bench warmer.

The L.A. Times has become very anti Jew and and anti Israel.
That may have something to do with their slump in distribution.

What’s this “GIVE HIM a job” stuff? Whatever happened to QUALIFYING FOR a job? What happens when we start GIVING jobs to everybody whether they’re capable of doing them or not? And on THAT subject, Kaepernick LOST his previous job when he failed to do it well enough. How has he improved his skills in the meantime? And his attitude?

I always assumed that the NFL drafted, traded and hired based on talent.

I guess not.

Yeah. Let him lead off the National Anthem for each game. There won’t be an NFL next year, one of those woke/broke things.

I believe that they should also. Each NFL fan should be mandated to contribute a thousand dollars a week to his salary. Game tickets and all NFL accouterments would include the contribution in the price. Plus a tax free 100 million dollar mansion complete with staff in all 50 States should be given to him. In addition to unlimited expense accounts. Along with each day of the week that ends in “y” should be declared a National Holiday in his honor. As a further indication of the adoration and esteem that he is held in by the NFL and its fans, the first 12 months of the year should be named “Colin Kaepernick” month. It is the least that an adoring and grateful Nation can do to honor its hero.
