stuvian Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Kaepernick would be a good fit for our QB run 1st offense 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Only reason this is even happening is Goodell. He he was not that good before he stopped playing. If anyone signs him, it will be for next season, and he's already been away for 4. Not any upside there. 1

JM57 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 The whole situation is very simple to break down if we can manage to keep our feelings about his protest out of it. Is he one of the best 32 QBs in the league and therefore should be starting somewhere? Nope. And that was probably the case back in 2017 the last time he played. Since then, have multiple QBs been employed who are objectively worse than him? Yep. Including at least TWO right here on the Bills (they wore #2 and #3 and I'd rather not speak of them). To me it comes down to this: most teams carry 3 or 4 QB in training camp and 2 or 3 on the 53. Pretending every single team was on the low end of the scale, 3 in camp and 2 on the 53...To get on a camp roster, that means he should be one of the best 96 QB in the league pool. To make a 53, one of the best 64. You can't possibly believe neither of those conditions apply. All other things aside he should definitely at least be on a roster. Perhaps this is the time where his contract expectations meet the offers of the teams

I guess there are enough average QB's though for BU's? The drama over a BU QB is just insane. I thank whatever team that brings him to ride the pine as I'm so over this Kap-Crap as a whole.

Orlando Buffalo Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 I do not care if Bills go since I believe he is not talented enough to help us even as a backup but I find it ridiculous the comments of the "NFL is using him". The NFL would prefer he just go away and they are doing this to show he is not being blackballed.

The nfl is the most outdated league in sports. Jerry Jones definitely would have owned slaves back in the day. These players are pieces of meat who they won’t even guarantee their contracts.

I agree. I just get annoyed by some of the dishonesty. To say Kaepernick wasn’t good enough after his last year on nfl to be in the league, you’re a liar. If you don’t think CK wasn’t miles better as a qb than Barkley when he last played, you’re a liar. If you don’t have the same angry towards the women beaters who were given a second chance over a guy who has never been in trouble and who’s worst “crime” was kneeling (after speaking with a former marine), your morals are messed up. CK has certainly made his share of mistakes (not signing with the Ravens, the Castro shirt, etc.) but he literally done nothing wrong off the field. I want the best team of non scumbags on the Bills. If CK has a good workout, I would love to sign him to a future contract because his upside is so much higher than Barkley. Also given the success of mobile qbs right now, it could be a nice backup plan for Allen (we should still draft a guy). But I guess I’m not as patriotic as some of the true heroes out there. 1 2

Thus, Kaepernick has made arrangements to bring his own receivers to the workout. I've asked this question before, and did not get a good answer. Can someone explain why the "NFL" is involved with this workout at all? Why wouldn't it be arranged by his agent? Shouldn't the people involved be the agent, Kap, some WR to throw to(also arranged by his agent), and reps from the teams interested in seeing the workout?

He also could be extremely fresh without years of punishment in a league where mobile qbs like Watson, Jackson, Wilson, Murray, etc are becoming the dominant players. I guess we’ll see.
