One of the biggest reasons Kap doesn't have a job other then Sucking is he burnt bridges with the Union as whole.
Not going to dive into your entire post, but terrible coaching & lack of talent at the skill positions surrounding him + injuries almost certainly depressed his numbers in his final season.
His last full season he started 16 games, completed 60% of his passes for 3369 air yards and 19:10, while rushing for 649 yards & 1, including a rush of 90 yards.
after that season, he started 9 games due to injury. The following year (2016) Kaep had “in way over his head” Chip Kelly as HC, nobody OC Curtis Modkins who wanted to turn Kaep into a pocket passer, and a receiving corps of such “elite” receiving weapons as Jeremy Kerley, Vance McDonald, Quinten Patton & washed up never-was Torrey Smith, while starting behind a raggedy OL
if that’s not a recipe for QB success, I don’t know what is!

Regardless of his issues with arguably the weakest supporting cast in the country, the problem people had with Kaepernick getting blackballed wasn’t that a “sucky” QB couldn’t get a job, it’s the a vast many QBs who sucked a LOT more than Kaepeenick’s worst season in terrible circumstances were getting jobs as backup QBs & he wasn’t even getting calls to try out anywhere for anything. He sued the NFL for it & they settled, presumably because they knew they’d lose. People defending Kaep’s situation weren’t “whiners”, they were correct. The man took a knee to raise awareness of police violence against people of color & was blackballed for it. And not for nothin, using the hindsight of several high profile killings of black men by police, he was sooooooo right.
I look forward to your sincere retort about how teams in 2017 were sooooo much better off with Cooper Rush, Bryce Petty, Drew Stanton, Scott Tolzien, Austin Davis, Nathan Peterson, Jake Rudock, Landry Jones, Sean Mannion, C.J. Beathard, Caradale Jones, E.J. Manuel, Paxton Lynch, Ryan Mallett - do I really need to go on here? Every one of these absolute scrubs (and a dozen more just like them) had a job holding a clipboard at the start of the 2017, season, but a dude 3 years removed from a Super Bowl couldn’t even get a tryout.
You absolutely certain that didn’t have more to do with Kaepernick’s politics in a league that *just this year* halted the practice of collectively agreeing that concussions/CTE wasn’t as bad for black folks since they had inferior brains to begin with? Really?
C’mon.
