Is Colin Kaepernick being blackballed by the NFL?

Jay Cutler has a job and Kaep doesn't. That's all I'll say.

Vanderbilt grads have good reason to be employed....

Even beyond that, Jay Cutler is a better quarterback than Colin Kaepernick and fits more systems

Basically this.

Cutler sometimes make curious decisions, can be dreadfully inaccurate, and with him at the helm, you're praying you don't enter into a 2 minute drill situation.

But at the end of the day, you can plug him into the standard pro-style scheme without redesigning the entire playbook.

It's the same reason why QBs like Testaverde and Hasselbeck stuck around for so long as that guy that would get the phone call mid-season, as teams have their starter go down and they're scrambling for an alternate.  These types of pocket passers that fit in the typical NFL system are actually sorta rare and definitely not a dime-a-dozen.

Kap has been terrible the last two seasons

This is a league that regularly signs domestic abusers and murderers.

So, obviously.

Those murderers and domestic abusers are more talented though.

and when they suck, they don't get a job either.  See Ray Rice.

Cutler also has a cannon, and has thrown for a ton of yards in his career.

Cutler is actually so hated hes vastly underrated, he isn't a bad quarterback so much as not elite. Especially when you realize how often he spent on his back or the bears were down due to a bad defense.
