Colin Kaepernick. Still not with a team. No offer. No workout. No signing.
Something is wrong.
Here's a guy who was a Super Bowl quarterback. Here's a guy who is one of the top 24 in NFL history when measured by their passer ratings. Here's a guy who something called Pro Football Focus has rated as the most valuable player to have played for the 49ers in the past decade. (No, that isn't an old article; It came out June 7 of this year.) On talent and proven record alone, he would have been the No. 1 pick if placed in the past year's draft.
Teams should be in a mad rush to beat each other to this guy.
Still not offered a contract? What's going on? Something's amiss.
Confessedly, it might be fear of backlash from the fans; They might boycott the team's games if Kap comes aboard. Or, is there truly collusion on part of the NFL, to keep him out?
It's one of the two. It isn't that he lacks the talent. He's been out for a few years, so you don't know if he can still perform. But, his resume clearly suggests he belongs on a roster.
If you're managing a team, poll the fans. Run a survey. And, if it comes back that they will accept him, sign him. If they won't, it's their loss. This guy can play.
