SAN DIEGO — Lamar Jackson isn't Colin Kaepernick any more than Don Knotts was John Wayne.
The situations between the two NFL quarterbacks — one present, one ex — clearly aren't the same, but the background musicians are playing a similar Russian dirge.
I'm not alone in thinking Kaepernick, whose Mortal Sin was the Immaculate Genuflection during the anthem, was blackballed (and others who followed his lead, including teammate Eric Reed, were not). In his prime. Even now he's 10 years younger than Tom Brady.
