I’m not going to go there. The point is, he returned to the NFL game after being suspended, tried, convicted and serving time in prison. Hmm... let’s see. he had a 20-20 record with zero playoff appearances after his return from dogfighting. id say that qualifies as ineffective. maybe that’s effective in your book. A judgement call I guess. 2

If they can blackball Kap for kneeling to the anthem then they’ll definitely blackball Watson from the NFL without a second thought. NFL is political and the worry about their reputation. The last thing they would want is the media chewing them a new ####### for letting a rapist back in the league Kaepernick isn't being blackballed for kneeling. He's being blackballed because he's terrible at football. 1 1

He's being blackballed because he's terrible at football. It is both actually. If he was a true franchise level Quarterback his kneeling would have been overlooked. But he isn't. He was however less terrible at football than many of the guys around the league in backup jobs then and now. The issue is NFL teams have 1 pretty clear rule about backup QBs.... they must not be a distraction to the team. And Kap would be. That is why as of last season Blaine Gabbert was still in the league and Kap wasn't. 4 4

I don’t care what he did to to change himself, he will always be a dog killer and abuser. Another one of Goodell’s screw ups. I’ll never ever respect Vick after all he did Killing and abusing dogs is horrible, no doubt. If all this stuff is true though, when it comes to being a human being, Mike Vick > Deshaun Watson. 5

No way I'm fielding 5 questions about why my Backup QB did x y or z every press conference. 5

Kaep wanted starter money. If he took a team friendly deal like Winston and Trubisky he is probably Lamar's primary back up at this point. Edited April 4, 2021 by Mat68

But it was pretty clear seeing both on the field with the same supporting cast in 2016 that Kap was better. Agree that in the early years he was probably wanting too much money, but it is mainly about distraction from a position that needs to be not seen and not heard.

He was PB his first season as Eagles starter and they made the playoffs. Had career highs for passing and rushing TDs in only 12 games. 1 1

Hanging, electrocuting, and drowning dogs deemed not aggressive enough is pretty appalling. I'm not downplaying him putting these women in extremely uncomfortable situations but there's been no accusations of rape to the best of my knowledge. 1 2
