Some people are not happy that Tim Tebow is back in the NFL.

The Jaguars have reportedly made the decision to sign the Florida Heisman winner as a tight end, and he’ll be on a one-year deal for Urban Meyer. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

What’s the problem? Well, people are apparently pissed that Tebow got the call prior to Kaepernick, and the former 49ers quarterback was trending on Twitter as a result, according to BroBible.

I hate to be the guy who states the obvious here, but there’s literally no comparison between Kaepernick and Tebow.

There’s none at all. Tebow is returning to the NFL on a small deal to play tight end. Has Kaepernick, who famously kicked off the national anthem protests, been denied the opportunity to try out as a tight end?

Does he even want to?

Imagine how dumb you have to be to look at Tim Tebow returning to the NFL after playing minor league baseball, and thinking it somehow cost Kaepernick an opportunity.

He’s literally playing a different position!

Sometimes, the internet makes me lose faith in humanity. People comparing Tebow playing tight end to Kaepernick not returning to the NFL is one of those times.
