Jemele Hill’s Colin Kaepernick to Jets suggestion gets immediately shot down by NFL fans - “It's getting embarrassing”

The NFL world is still trying to come to terms with Aaron Rodgers' Achilles tear, which has ruled him out for the rest of the season. The Atlantic's Jemele Hill has floated Colin Kaepernick's name as a possible replacement for Rodgers.

She pointed out that Kaepernick has been to an NFC Championship game and Super Bowl. But NFL fans were quick to shut down that suggestion, with one fan calling it embarrassing.

"It has been exactly 10 years since Kaepernick did that. Y’all need to give this up lol. It’s getting embarrassing."

Other fans chimed in with their thoughts on Hill's idea of New York pursuing Kaepernick.

As we can see, most NFL fans don't think that Kaepernick is the answer to the Jets' problems, given how long he has been out of the league.

Is Colin Kaepernick a viable option for the Jets?

Robert Saleh

While Kaepernick's return to the NFL would make for a superb story, it's unlikely to come to fruition. He has been out of the league for far too long to be a viable option.

Keep in mind that Jets head coach Robert Saleh has already stated that Zach Wilson will be the starting quarterback going forward. Other options like Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, and Cam Newton have also been mentioned as possible candidates along with Kaepernick.

When Kaepernick worked out with NFL teams a few years ago, many thought that would be the time for him to return to the league. However, that never happened and he remains on the outside.

The Rodgers injury is still raw for the Jets and their fans, but as we know, the league moves fast. The team has to now gameplan for a Dallas Cowboys defense that shut out the New York Giants in a 40-0 blowout.
