I think he should apologize to the 49ers for using their team for his own personal means to make a statement.

He could make the statement elsewhere and likely be more effective. Add to that he isn't that great of a QB but had a good season once.

Case in point, Spike Lee sent out a tweet for a "Kapernick" rally. So the guy that is trying to rally behind his cause doesn't even know how to spell his name. He's a tool and will be remembered for kneeling, not for playing. Is that really the legacy he wants?

At the end of the day, when he started this protest business, he was a misguided, rich, dumb 20 something kid.

Did you read or listen to his comments on the subject? The guy is very thoughtful and it's hard to come away believing that he is "dumb."

He was dumb enough (or hypocritical enough) to wear a Castro shirt while trying to speak out against oppression and then later on tried to praise the man rather than just admit he's a dumbass.

Anyway aside from all of that, as pointed out earlier in the thread Kravitz states why this would be a terrible move early in the column. You don't completely revamp your offensive scheme to cater to a stop gap QB.

Totally fair to criticize him for Castro, the pig socks, etc. I just think calling him "dumb" about the protest is poor form.

He was dumb enough to jeopardize a one-in-a-million career with his personal agenda.

It seems like a lesson few learn in any entertainment industry.

Fair enough.

Something that never gets brought up in the media when they go on about him getting black listed is that he opted out of $14.5M this year, which tells me that he thinks (or at least thought) that he was still a starter and should be paid starting QB $s. If he's not willing to take a lower dollar backup QB deal then he's going to have trouble getting onto a roster even without all of the other stuff factored in.
