As far as Kap is concerned he took a bold stance for something he felt strongly about and that shouldn't preclude him from playing football, but in many people's minds he's committed some heinous crime of some bs unpatroitic foolishness despite the fact that plenty of people in the stands don't bother to stand up for the national anthem .
Now his ability to lead the team on the field is another question and as far as I'm concerned should be the only question taken into consideration, but instead he'll be put right up there along with Rosenbergs selling state secrets to the Soviets..
I don't think he is a good fit with our team as a backup nor as a starter, but the rest of it is just fluff talk or as it should be, much ado about nothing..
When you consider putting a QB in charge of your team's offense and become the face of your organization, you must consider the whole person in today's era. This includes where their 'head' is at (commitment) and likely distractions (nonsensical stances) for the team. Tim Tebow has had success in the NFL from a win-loss perspective and no one wanted to sign him either. I view them similarly.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
