One fan said: "At this point – I'd really like him to make a squad. If it works out and he starts and does great it would be a great comeback story with personal convictions. If not, at least we can all move forward instead of rehashing this every year."

prevnextBoycott
If Colin Kaepernick is signed I will be boycotting the NFL this season.

NFL smartly figured that angry white dudes would be too busy protecting their guns to notice that Colin Kaepernick got a workout with a team.

One fan replied: "They are angry. I have been in nasty exchanges with a couple of them for expressing happiness that he is getting a chance. It is scary."

One fan wrote: "Politics in football. Why does the Left bring politics into everything? If Kap could play he'd have been on a team a long time ago. Vick, Ray Lewis, Watson all did far worse for MAGAs and the rest of us. I liked Kap but like RG3 the NFL had caught up to their game. He was done."
prevnextFrom Raiders Owner Mark Davis
#Raiders owner Mark Davis last month: “I believe in Colin Kaepernick. He deserves every chance in the world to become a quarterback in the National Football League. I still stand by it. If our coaches and general manager want to bring him in, I would welcome him with open arms."
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) May 25, 2022
One fan argued: "His last 2 seasons 2-14, 1-10 and overall got worse as his career progressed. Does he really deserve another chance? It's not likely his game improved over the last 5 years. 69% completion percentage. How many opportunities would other QBs get with such bad stats? None."
prevnextRecord Jersey Sales
If #raiders signed Colin Kaepernick ain’t no doubt in my mind his jersey will shatter all time record for jersey sales…….#RaiderNation

And one fan said: "That's what I was thinking.. maybe he will be the sponge for all the hate and Carr will be left alone to do his thing."
