ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Before Colin Kaepernick does his first stretch, before he runs his first sprint, and before he throws his first pass at Saturday’s NFL workout in Atlanta, there’s likely only one thing that matters and renders everything else moot. How he answers will outweigh his size, conditioning, and arm strength.
Can he still play? That has never been an issue … unless you’re intellectually lazy and dishonest. Judging by the number of uninspiring-to-awful quarterbacks on NFL rosters, ability isn’t a prerequisite, but Kaepernick has plenty.
