  2. 2. Hypothetical Scenario to make it interesting: Josh Allen needs "Bogosian/UPL-type hip surgery; should the Bills sign Kaepernick to start or back-up Barkley?

    • Sign him!

If I were him, I'd sue the league for $10MM per year for as many years I felt I could have played plus treble damages.  Very provable, smacks of racism too.

His last year as a 49er he went 1-10 in 2016 with a QBR of 49.5. Blane Gabbert went 1-4 and had a better QBR.    If anyone thought he was worth a damn he would be playing, JMO

I believe the worst part of this ugly episode is that American citizens happily endorsed the taking away of another American citizens constitutional rights, over a straw man argument, in support of a corporate monopoly, pretty damn sad imo.  Morons indorse the very behavior that takes away their own rights as citizens, and are very likely so willfully ignorant that they don’t even see what they have endorsed.

No one said he should be jailed over kneeling, at least no one of consequence. There is no constitutional right to play i  the NFL.

Non issue to me.  If a team wants to sign him they will, if they don't they won't.  I no longer care about the individual players like I used to a long time ago.  The game is a shell of what it was in terms of connection to players that it once was.

In 2016, the Cardinals were so indifferent to the idea of him throwing the ball that they pulled both corners off of the WRs. The WR on the left sideline never had anyone line up on him. The CB covering the guy to the right walked to the DE as the snap was about to happen, leaving both WRs with nobody anywhere near them. 

Kaep not only didn't complete a throw to one of two wide open options, he didn't even notice that this had happened despite his WRs screaming at him, and handed the ball off up the middle for no gain. 

He was reduced to a 1 read QB and that read was never allowed to be 10 yards down the field. He was benched for Gabbert twice.

We have played almost three full seasons since these games and he hasn't seen the field for any of this time, in a league where a wall of fame caliber guy like Fred Jackson can go from hero to cut in three offseason months, much less three years. 

Why on earth would any team even consider this, and that's without coming within a mile of talking about the political stuff?

Per se...no.

 

His talent is simply not good enough to warrant the headaches and fan/media backlash the team will get. Fair or not he is the face of the kneeling movement. To warrant dealing with all of that the player would need to be at worst a very good starter caliber player...top 15 at his position in the NFL. Kaep is not that. He is a good backup but has been figured out by D Coordinators and won't do a lot as a starter...he had plenty of chances to show otherwise and couldn't.

 

Good backups don't get the luxury of being headaches like very good and above players get. That's just life. Ray Ray McCloud muffed 2 punts last week and was cut. If Michael Thomas did the same thing they'd just pat him on the butt and say "tough game but we need you next week, put it behind you."  The amount of headaches/screw-ups on and off the field you can cause are directly proportional to your value to the team and contributions towards winning games. A QB sitting on a bench for an entire sesdon unless someone gets hurt doesn't provide a lot of value.

 

Kaep has elite+ level headaches with average talent. No team is signing up for that and it has nothing to do with collusion. It just makes sense and all other players are pretty much treated the same.

he is not being blackballed. He just isn’t very good. And it is even debatable that he even wants to play football. If he wanted to play football why not play in CFL or XFL?

 

because he doesn’t want to play football. Just wants to keep his name out there so he is relevant for his sponsorship deals. So these recycled arguments of him being blackballed pop up from time to time. 
 

 

question is ALL the other people not in the league because they are not good enough blackballed.
