OK, that’s just Spike. I need to know what Snoop Dog and Whoopi think, as well.
(Trying for a reasoned approach)
Kaepernick is not now, nor has he ever been, a first-string QB. Yeah, he fooled the NFL for a season or so, bringing the 49ers to the Super Bowl against the Ravens. However, like the “Wildcat” formation, most coaches worth their whistle figured out how to negate his unorthodox style of play and he became just another QB. Along comes 2016 and he decides to become a “cause celebre” with his kneeling for the National Anthem. If he was a QB of the caliber of Manning or Luck or even Cousins, his talent would have had people calling his antics this year a case of “Colin being Colin”, and a desperate team or two might have chosen to look beyond the childish crap. (Check the NFL Network’s Sunday talking heads for prime examples of such head cases.)
In my mind, this puts him in the “second tier” of QBs, at best. Serviceable, most likely a backup, but could start a few games in a pinch. Definitely not someone you bet the franchise on, even if you are the Cleveland Charlie Browns or either of the jokes calling Los Angeles home.
What I think will happen is that the few teams that could use a QB are most likely going to wait until after the draft to see what they can get, either via picks or trades during the meat market. In that respect, I can see someone signing him in May or June, once the draft is over and everyone has had a chance to evaluate what they have, what they need, and how much they are willing to spend. Don’t forget, there’s that pesky thing called a Salary Cap in the NFL, meaning that 30 or 31 teams are not going to take a $10 Million flier on a player that may be of no use to them.
So, I would tell little Spikey Lee to stop being a racist and see if things work out for his under-talented main man Colin as the spring progresses. If not, there’s always the CFL, where his running talents might be more appreciated, or the AFL, where the shorter field masks his lack of arm strength. And if nothing comes up, I understand that China now has an American-style football league.
Maybe Spike should hire him to be his pool boy.
Yeah, let ESPN or Sporting News or Spike Lee hire him. I love how they all demand that someone ELSE should hire him.
I’ve got friends in low places
“Spike” used to be a respected name in the arts...

Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.
Kapernick will be taking a knee this season while placing green beans on the lower shelf at Safeway.
Kaepernick shares your worldview, Spike, and we white fans that you insulted are dissin’ both of you - all the way to the bone. :)
As a life-long Bears fan, if they sign Kaperrnick, I am done with them.
He is a low talent and low intellect attention whore.
Too little too late, so sad, too bad. Start digging ditches, or perhaps the Canadian League would like to have you. 8>)
The idiots who run the Houston Texans are always looking for a lousy quarterback.
As a 49ers fan who has watched every game in Kaepernick’s pro career, I can think of no better just dessert than having Kaepernick sign with a team Spike Lee cares about. You want him Spike? OK - enjoy watching him bail of of clean pockets, fixate on his primary receiver and lay out his receivers for defensive backs.
Maybe Spike will make up for the lost revenue resulting from the loss of NFL viewers thanks to Kaepernick.
I remember Spike Lee.
“Lee said it “Smells MAD Fishy To Me, Stinks To The High Heavens””
He must have been taking a whiff of his own shorts!
The Amish are getting restless, B’wana.
Spike, he’s radioactive, like you are.
May Colin should turn gay. It might help. Just sayin’
Spike Lee...fake actor and fake director, very fake.
Very low IQ.
