Trent Dilfer on Kaepernick: NFL Teams Don't Want an Activist with 'Disastrous' Play

Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer discussed free agent Colin Kaepernick Wednesday on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself,” explaining the activist quarterback has two knocks against him that are likely keeping him from being in the NFL at the age of 30 — his activism and most recent film from 2016 that shows “disastrous” play.

“An NFL organization doesn’t want an activist — they want a quarterback,” Dilfer, who played 13 years in the NFL, pointed out. “[Kaepernick] is viewed by the country more now as an activist than a quarterback. Right or wrong, that’s how he’s viewed.”

The NFL analyst continued, “His tape is bad. The last year of tape is bad. He had the yips. I’ve had the yips. I’ve had them throwing and I’ve had them putting. He couldn’t throw it from here to the camera towards the end accurately. He was so locked up as a quarterback. … The tape doesn’t lie. And to get through the activist part to the football part, you then have to battle that last year of tape — which isn’t very good either.”

He quit 49ers due to injuries. Kneeling was to make millions for himself in retirement and it's working.

Finally someone that has the stones to speak the truth. The guy was just like Robert Griffin. Once they figured his style of okay and knew how to defend the both looked mediocre at best. Bye bye kaeperdick

They asked him to come on the show, then they asked him about Kaepernick, then he answered. That's how this stuff works. Sorry if you don't like his opinion. People don't have to like Kaepernick, you know. They are permitted to think he's a d-bags and a mediocre quarterback.

I called him no-turnover Trent. You must be a self-hating liberal snowflake.

LOL.

Same people booing him are cheering for that other guy who was kneeling before him, they just happen to have different politics.

You folks don't care about how good a player they are... quit pretending. This is ALLLLLL about how you feel about their politics or religion.

How about a shred of transparent honesty?

Kaepernick is a big pussy!! Crying out for equal rights to all the hood rats selling food, robbing and stealing. If you weren't out in the streets doing dirt you wouldn't be confronted by law enforcement. Boy I'm sure glad a "WHITE(HONKY) family" had the decency to take him in while his biological family were probably out in the streets doing dope, robbing and stealing. Yea white people are such bad people. Blacks will ALWAYS look for handouts and continue to cry victim

I believe Trent Dilfer was the ONLY NFL QB to WIN a Super Bowl, and then, be fired (traded).
Unbelievable.

The Ravens are idiots.
