Given Kaepernick scored one point higher on his Wonderlich than Andrew Luck, I'm pretty sure he's a lot smarter than most of the people calling him names. To be clear, I have not been a Kaepernick fan ever since he was drafted. He's not my QB choice, the guy I want leading my team or being the face of my franchise, for many reasons, none of which involve sitting for the national anthem.
I do think if someone does what CK did, everyone taking exception to it does themselves a disservice by not finding out about to what he is trying to draw attention, because things have to be quite amiss for a lot of people for someone to risk so much criticism, and possibly put his career at risk, by taking a controversial public stand on such a visible platform like the NFL. Ignoring the message and shouting hate at the messenger - who did nothing legally or procedurally prohibited - isn't a very constructive behavior, IMO.
