Colin Kaepernick’s critics say he isn’t committed enough to be a pro. Josh McCown has a second job.
, McCown usually took private jets on Mondays to help out with the Mustangs’ game plan and would head back to the high school team on Fridays for the actual games before returning to the Eagles by Saturday mornings.There’s nothing wrong with any of this. If anything, McCown’s competent performance in the wild-card round shows the league places too much emphasis on absolute, 24/7 commitment from its players.
There’s no valid reason as to why Kaepernick isn’t on an NFL roster. The “He’s been out of the league too long” argument became void when Josh Johnson signed with Washington in 2018 after a five-year layoff between actual game snaps and led the team to a win in his first start. The “He’s not good enough” argument has been debunked given thathave been signed and re-signed over the past few seasons.
The NFL has gone to great lengths to pretend that Kaepernick—who became the target of every Facebook uncle’s ire when he began taking a knee during the national anthem and spoke out against social injustices against black Americans—is being held back only by his own skills. Meanwhile, someone like McCown is able to play competently and maintain an immensely more complicated work-life balance with little to no backlash from NFL personnel or fans.
