Jerry Jones: Luke McCown better fit for Cowboys than Colin Kaepernick

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was finally forced to answer the Colin Kaepernick question that is sweeping the NFL.

And his responses were quite telling regarding the continued unemployment of the former Super Bowl quarterback viewed as politically untouchable because of national anthem protests as a member of the San Francisco 49ers last year.

The Cowboys added 36-year old Luke McCown on Saturday to replace the injured Zac Dysert, theoretically, to compete with rookie Cooper Rush for the third quarterback job behind starter Dak Prescott and backup Kellen Moore.

“We really have our guys set in a way that Luke fit what we wanted from our third quarterback,” Jones said.
