Again........I understand that's your opinion Gunnar. You're not alone in your view. That's fine.
Others, including people who make such evaluations for the NFL professionally, see it very differently and believe that Kaepernick is as good or better than other active/available QBs.
The teams are free to hire and reject potential players according to their own preferences, criteria and evaluations. They are under no obligation to hire Kaepernick. That's not in dispute.
Kaepernick is contending that the reason he's not being given a shot as a free agent is that NFL members have colluded against him in response to his controversial pre-game silent protest. That is the source of this labor contract dispute. The burden is on Kaepernick and his attorney to prove collusion, which is very difficult.
As I've said repeatedly, I just don't think the league's legal reps will use a more formal iteration of "he just sucks as a player" to defend the NFL against collusion allegations because that would conflict with the NFL testimony and documentation presented thus far in litigation. If you think I'm wrong about that and the "he just sucks" defense will be used in court proceedings, that's fine. Difference of opinion.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what evidence Kaepernick and his attorney present in their attempt to show that two or more NFL members colluded in order to essentially blackball him, assuming the case isn't settled and evidence isn't sealed.
