Colin Kaepernick is finally getting his opportunity to show if he’s got anything left in the tank as an NFL quarterback, as he’s currently working out for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The former San Francisco 49ers QB has been trying to get back into the league for some time now, which some may find ironic considering he compared the NFL to slavery in his Netflix special.
Nevertheless, he’s getting a shot for the first time since departing from the league six years ago.
Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk made some, well, rather intriguing and bold takes about Kap’s NFL potential from here on out, stating in a tweet:
“Colin Kaepernick, with time to knock off the rust and prepare, would be better than any option the Seahawks, Panthers, and Texans (Sorry TuAnon) that the Dolphins currently have.
He’d possibly win the job in Atlanta, too.”
SHEESH.
Ol’ Mike with the Wednesday night hot takes, aye? Especially considering the now 34-year-old QB struggled quite a bit his last few seasons in San Francisco, and hasn’t been in action since 2016.
The Tua Tagovailoa take might be the hottest, considering the young Dolphins QB led the Dolphins to a 7-1 record in their final 8 games last season.
Needless to say, the game has evolved quite a bit over the past six years.
And hell, I’m not saying Kap would be bad at all, but to begin throwing outrageous claims around like that before he’s even made an official NFL roster is wild enough in itself.
Of course, Florio’s claims drew some awesome reactions in the Twitter world:
