Dan Snyder will win with Colin Kaepernick. Not the Redskins, the Redskins are screwed. They've lost all their quarterbacks, their defensive line still thinks they are at Alabama and are on break after Thanksgiving, and DJ Swearinger continues to surreptitiously call out the coaches for the team's lack of production on the field without looking in the mirror. The Redskins probably will not win with Colin Kaepernick, but Dan Snyder will.
All Dan Snyder ever wanted is for the Redskins to be at the forefront of the headlines. If that means because they are winning that is great, but if they are not they need to do outrageous things in order to be at the center of attention. Look no further than the Reuben Foster move last week to see Snyder's itchiness for being in the headlines. Will Kaepernick help the Redskins win? That question is irrelevant to Snyder. Snyder must see that the once promising Redskins season that brought him so many accolades is going down the toilet in a relatively inglorious and frustrating way. To exacerbate Snyder's feeling of inadequacy, he must watch his hated rivals take over first place in the NFC East after being left for dead six weeks ago. So with all the injuries to the OL and DL, a porous defense, and Mark Sanchez at the helm, what is Snyder to do? Make the singing to end all signings.
If the Redskins sign Kaepernick it will put the Redskins at the top of the "All Time Controversial Signings List" forever. Just think what will happen if the Redskins announce that Kaepernick will be starting this week for the team in our Nation's Capital with a racially charged nickname after being publicly called out by the President of the United States for his actions? If Josh Norman wanted people in the stands at FedEx Field he will certainly get it with Colin Kaepernick, and Snyder could hype the situation to his benefit. Do you support Kaepernick? Come on down to Landover and kneel with him as he makes his triumphant return to the gridiron. You hate Kaepernick's guts? Hide your foreign objects in secret pockets and let him know just how you feel live at FedEx Field on Sunday. The National Guard will need to run security, but who knows if they will show up to help a guy who has caused so much controversy within the armed services. And knowing Donald Trump, there is no way he passes on the chance to show up Kaepernick by being at the stadium in person.
The possibilities are endless and the coverage will be unstoppable. "What? Tom Brady killed a hooker, evaded police in a wild shootout in downtown Boston, and has Bill Belichick driving him to the Canadian border in a high speed chase with federal authorities? That can wait. KAEPERNICK IS PLAYING IN FRONT OF DONALD TRUMP IN DC!" OK, maybe that Brady situation is a little bit bigger, but sans that happening there is no denying the hoopla that will surround Kaepernick starting for the Washington Redskins, and the best part is they have nothing to lose. They already lost the PR battle on the Foster deal, their season is in turmoil, and if there is any team that could absorb the media blitz that would come with the signing it is the Redskins. And that is if Kaepernick is a bust. Just think if the Redskins sign him and he starts winning. The sports coverage. The political coverage. The wave of support on the streets. The level of hate throughout social media, all centered around the Washington Redskins and the biggest winner of them all in this scenario. Daniel Snyder.
