Calling Colin Kaepernick

Confess I'm not a huge football fan, though I played a lot of sandlot ball as a kid. Just a few games in H.S. as a 125 lb. defensive back cured me of any interest in further play so I got out before serious damage to body and brain. Nearly 60 years on that remains a good decision. 

But it does seem to me the Bears could use a real QB like unemployed Colin Kaepernick instead of another in the long line of potential QB's who never pan out. 72 TD passes with only 30 picks in 69 games sure beats 10 TD's, just one more than interceptions, in 15 games. Besides, Kaepernick embodies the best in character with his social activism that should make all of us proud every time he takes the field, regardless the outcome of what is essentially a meaningless human activity. 

With Kaepernick the Bears may still not finish first in game standings. But by ending the foolish, demeaning 3 year boycott of Kaepernick's services, they would be tops on the leaderboard of decency and good sportsmanship.
