The Houston Texans signed quarterback Josh Johnson Wednesday, and Twitter blew up because another gunslinger got signed before Colin Kaepernick.
The reactions were exactly what we’ve come to expect out of the internet whenever a quarterback not named Colin Kaepernick gets signed.
Josh Johnson’s most recent NFL pass was 421 days before Colin Kaepernick played in the 2013 Super Bowl

Come on you #MAGA assholes, make a serious case to me that Josh Johnson is a better NFL quarterback than Colin Kaepernick. Let’s hear it.

Yes, I’m sure Kaepernick is sitting around on his couch eating Funyuns while Josh Johnson has been working out non-stop for four years. https://t.co/a44hy1r4Lf

Bill O’Brien yesterday: Colin Kaepernick “hasn’t played in a while”
Texans today: *signs Josh Johnson, who hasn’t taken a snap since 2013*

So let me get this. Texans signed Josh Johnson who hasn’t played since 2011 over Colin Kaepernick who would fit our system perfectly? SMH

Now they are just f’ing with us because Josh Johnson is the destitute man’s Kaepernick. So much for McGloin “knowing the system.” https://t.co/gclo43gJSW

That’s a good point. Josh Johnson was Colin Kaepernick’s third-string backup for the 2012 #49ers and he hasn’t completed a pass since 2011 but somehow he deserves a roster spot over Kaepernick? https://t.co/9qcf6LIQpz

Josh Johnson? Good grief. Texans should be ashamed of themselves.

Joked yesterday that the case for Kaep’s mobility was so strong that Texans probably sign…Josh Johnson.
Texans just signed…Josh Johnson

When was he ever a better QB Colin Kaepernick? NEVER https://t.co/eE9HY4EGSs

As I’ve said before, tweets of this nature will never not be entertaining.
