Throughout the entire 2017 NFL season, we’ve been told that Colin Kaepernick should be playing on a NFL team. Anytime a starting quarterback goes down to injury, ESPN and people who rarely watch the NFL push Colin Kaepernick as the savior. Kaepernick fans are already pushing for Philadelphia Eagles to sign Kaepernick due to Carson Wentz’s injury. Any true NFL fan not blinded by politics knows better.
Colin Kaepernick went 1-10 last year, but his fans blame it on the terrible 49ers team. Really? Does anyone remember the last time a great, or even a very good quarterback in their prime, went 1-10? If so, please enlighten me.
In the past two weeks, Jimmy Garoppolo put the debate to rest by going 2-0 with ironically a 49ers team that was 1-10 in the season. This is a quarterback that was traded by the New England Patriots to the 49ers and had just a few weeks to learn a playbook that Colin Kaepernick had years to perfect. Today’s 49ers are much worse of a team today than they were in 2016. Can you name a starting wide receiver on the 49ers? I’ll help you out. Their top receivers are Aldrick Robinson and Marquise Goodwin, far from household names. Robinson is listed on their depth charts as their #1 receiver with 14 total receptions this year and Goodwin has 35. The tallest of the two is 5’10.
Jimmy Garoppolo is the kind of quarterback NFL teams covet – someone who wins games and puts his team first. You won’t see him taking politics or stands on the field or on the sidelines. Colin Kaepernick went 1-10 last year and put his politics first and why he’s without a team, a nightmare for team owners and coaches. No owner or coach will hire a back-up quarterback with a 1-10 record that will be a major distraction to a team.
Everyone should be thankful to Jimmy G for putting the Colin Kaepernick debate to rest. I wish Colin Kaepernick all the best in his political career.
