Colin Kaepernick returning to the NFL? - Stephen A. on Jim Harbaugh offers Colin a job with Chargers

like to see his former quarterback back in the league as a coach you'll recall that Harbaugh and Kaepernick went to Super Bowl 47 in 2012 where they lost to the Baltimore Ravens now Harbaugh who's back in the league as the Chargers head coach says he talked to cnick about joining the Chargers in a non-playing capacity look at this quote right here harau says quote he'd be a tremendous coach if that's the path he chose we talked about it a little bit he's considering it he was out of the country he said he was going to get back to me we haven't re reconnected since then that was early early in the year end quote couple of things major props to Jim Harbaugh Jim harbar um is one of the great great coaches that's coaching today did an excellent job coaching the San Francisco 49ers all of those years took him to the Super Bowl three conference NFC championship games in four years took over the Michigan program won a national championship revitalized rebuilt that program made them relevant again they the reigning national champions and now that he's back in the National Football League he's earned the right to do what he wants and if he wants to bring Colin Kaepernick there cool no problem I think Colin kapnick would be a good coach I think that Colin kapnick if he wants the opportunity should be the coach what I would say however is I don't want to hear about him being a quarterback no more that ship should have sailed not only has it sailed it should have sailed I know some people don't want to say it I will now we're going to ignore the fact that over his last two years quarterbacking in National Football League in 2015 and 2016 Colin kinnick's total record as a starter was 3 and 16 we're going to ignore the fact that he hasn't played football since that time obviously taking a knee bringing attention uh to police brutality and the uncivilized manner in which black folks and minorities throughout this country have been treated by police officers and the like he was blackballed he was ostracized we know this nobody's running from that it's absolutely true and the NFL owners should be ashamed of themselves make no mistake about it but it's been eight years eight years and if we G to talk about Colin Kaepernick we need to talk about him honestly let's just talk about the facts his career career record as a starter is 28 and 30 he didn't really do anything since Jim Harbaugh departed we also have to take into account the fact that commissioner Raj gell the National Football League in concert with the likes of Jay-Z and Rock Nation and others facilitated a return to the National Football League for klege cabinet we want to act like we just want to throw that aside oh they wanted him to sign you know some waiver and it was a waiver that nobody else had to sign well keep in mind that when Colin Kaepernick was blackballed he ultimately sued the league and reached the settlement how many people get to sue a former employer and then get rehired by him but that's what happened that's what was going to happen rather he sued the league reached the settlement and there after when owners didn't want anything to do with him because by this time years later like 28 2019 something away around there when you had the Patrick Mahomes of the world the Deshawn Watson of the world the Russell Wilson's of the world and others being the highest paid individuals let alone quarterbacks in the National Football League they didn't feel they needed a k cinic Jay-Z and them said hell no yes you do we can't go with this you need to give that man a chance and commissioner Raj gell supported that and what did they do Colin Kaepernick with his lady who at the time were looking for support to get one team one to give him a try out Roger gell in the National Football League for fa itated a try out situation at the Atlanta Falcons practice facility with all the bells and whistles coaches film everything it was all laid out for him 26 different teams showed up 18 Cent black folks from player Personnel scouting and Beyond to evaluate him and at the 11th Hour approximately two to three hours before the damn workout was to begin Colin cinet decides he ain't showing up he gonna have a workout at some high school an hour and 20 minutes away in the outskirts of Atlanta we half more than half the people that showed up at the Atlanta Falcons practice facility they didn't get word until it was too late late and they couldn't make it there for his workout in time it was at that moment that all hell broke loose for me because I said it's over hell with it he don't want to play football he wants to be a martyr people were upset and they were salty at me about that then it's years later for the record I don't give a damn I still stand about what I said cuz it was the truth and I was been proven yet again to be right if you want to be a martyr there's no crime in that we as black people benefited from Colin Kaepernick nobody's denying that but if you said you want to play football if your lady said you wanted to play football and you were pursuing a trial with a particular team how the hell you don't show up when 26 team showed up how do you let that happen could it be because even though you may have wanted to play football the real priority for you was bringing noise to your cuse to highlight yet again that the NFL wasn't doing right by you instead of you going out on that football field and showing that you can still ball ladies and gentlemen the facts of Bill have borne out it's been proven and your his concerns about hey you know what they might keep me off a team well you know what team NFL teams had a concern about that if they didn't feel you were good enough you was going to accuse them of being racist even though some of them might have had a black quarterback that they were going to put ahead of you or they even about race it might not even have been about race or your accusation might have been might not have been about race they were just out to get your ass because you sued them it could be anything but the point is that was his last shot to play in the National Football League this becomes interesting because Jim harbar is the coach he's the moneyman he's the face of the charges franchise and if Colin Kaepernick wants to coach in the National Football League and Jim Harbaugh says yo come do this two things could happen the owners could get in the way and POS resistance spanel and those guys in La that could happen because they might be scared even as a coach he's taking the knee again and if they're not scared of that maybe they're scared of Jim Harbor saying now that you on my coaching staff get guess what a quarterback got hurt I need you to go in there instead of Justin Herbert I need you to go in there and play and that might be a way to get him back into the league and they might be resistant to that if I'm Colin Kaepernick I take that chance I go right there because nobody's looking out for him in the sport of football more than Jim harbar you go you take that opportunity because whether it's playing or whether it's coaching you back in the National Football League and once you end unless you're losing or unless you're doing something unlawful or whatever is going to be pretty difficult to get you out this might be his chance to get in what you gonna do about that bro what you gonna do about it because ain't nobody else trying to take that chance on Colin Kaepernick Jim harbar is the perfect man to do it props to him props to him [Music]
