Colin Kaepernick statistically is one of the NFL's best quarterbacks ever, His 88.9 rating places him 21st on the list, ahead of Brett Favre, and a host of other legendary QBs. (Grant it, current players dominate the list due to changes in the game.) He led the 49ers from behind in the 2013 Super Bowl, his 15-yard scamper for a touchdown --the longest TD run by a QB in Super Bowl history -- brought the team to within three points of being Super Bowl champions.
He wasn't washed up his final year in the league, as many suggest. His passer rating was 90.7. That's better than his career average. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry -- the best average of any year he had.
Some say he lost his starting job, But he started a number of the games his final season and had a better rating than Blaine Gabbert, the other starter.
He belongs in the NFL, again. With all the quarterbacks going down, and all of the teams scrambling to find QBs, how do they shut their eyes on Kap? It is clear his politics are all that stands in his way.
What is political persecution? When you discriminate against someone because of their political beliefs -- is that political persecution?
Just wondering. This is America, you know, and we ought to have higher standards. This is America, and we ought to act like it. We ought not blackball someone from playing football just for their political beliefs.
No, not in America.
