Is Kaepernick still unsigned because NFL teams are punishing his protest?

Evidence continues to mount that Colin Kaepernick may be being punished by NFL teams for his national anthem protest last year.

49ers webzone’s Richard Madrid put forth a convincing article on Kaepernick’s improvement last year replete with illustrative clips from Kaepernick’s play. While the clips are impressive, they can also be misleading. One play can never represent a quarterback’s strengths or weaknesses.

However, what is impressive is the research Madrid delineates from several sources to debunk myths about Kaepernick. The first is that Kaepernick can’t throw from the pocket.

Madrid cites stats from profootballoutsiders.com and profootballfocus.
