Okay so he's not NFL starting material. What about being a back up? You mean to tell me that some of shit back up's in the league right now deserve to be there over him? In my # 3328 comment I mentioned 3 back up QB's that simply have no business being on an NFL roster.

And Drew Stanton is worse than the 3 you mentioned.....he has to have pics of Arians with a midget, some animals, and jumper cables.

And after 5 picks in a half yesterday.....Nathan Peterman is certainly in the discussion as one of the worst backups in the League.

Because.

You simply can't have a lightning rod like Kaep as your back up. Can't do it. You are much better off with somemone bland like Colt McCoy or Brian Hoyer. It isn't just about his play, which frankly isn't very good either. Backups can't create distractions.

The second reason he makes a crappy backup is because he brings a unique skill set to the position. A team would need an entirely different set of plays with Kaep under center than they would with their regular QB. Again, doesn't make sense.

Peterman had no business playing for the Bills yesterday & whoever their HC is should have been fired the moment the game ended for starting that kid in the 1st place. Tyrod Taylor might not be a good QB but he's better than who Buffalo started. That was such an asinine move you'd expect the Browns to do something that fucking stupid.

At least he has being a rookie as an excuse for horrendous play.

I agree with that.

To make it even crazier.....they were 5-4 and smack dab in the middle of the WC picture. They still are after falling to 5-5. And Schefter thinks they could start Peterman again vs the Chiefs on 11-26-17.

Yeah that's what I don't get. It's not like the Bills had been eliminated from the playoff picture before that bizarre QB change.

It was because Taylor struggled and threw for just 56 yards vs the Saints.....but that doesn't mean he should have been benched. He gives the Bills the best chance to win. I saw something today that said he has the lowest INT % in the history of the League. Not sure if that was right or not. But, switching QB's was just bizarre.

My theory on why all the DC movies suck is simple: color

All the Marvel movies are bright. The colors pop off the screen. It's warm and engaging. It almost doesn't matter what the script actually is because subconsciously, the colors put you in a good mood. You're more accepting of the material.

All the DC movies are dark. Everything is gray or dark red or brown. These are negative emotional colors. It doesn't stimulate the brain the same way. It's offputting so subconsciously, you're in a bad mood. Wonder Woman is really the only DC movie that had any brightness to it (lots of gold and blues) and guess what? It's widely considered the best one

Which makes you realize how sensational the Dark Knight series was because I have it as the Gold Standard....even above Iron Man 1, Avengers #1 and Winter Soldier.

With that being said, the gray tones just made BvsS and SS assier.

Those movies would have been dog shit even if a rainbow exploded all over them.

 

[Mecca]

Didn't think it was THAT bad, but yeah, coulda definitely been better...

2 writers=bad juju...

still, it was better than Batman vs. Superman...

Wonder Woman was the only thing remotely interesting about BvsS.

Ditto for Harley Quinn in SS.

Did I miss something?

Spoiler: Dont read if you haven't seen the movie

Did the resurrection make Superman stronger? Cause he shouldn't have been able to own Wonder Woman and Aquaman so easily at the same fucking time. She's supposed to be part God in this Universe.

Can't say I agree... largely because of LeBron's further comments:

"I've commended Kap, and for him to sacrifice everything for the greater good for everyone, for what he truly believed in, the utmost respect to him," James continued. "Obviously he had a vision like Martin Luther King and like some of our all-time greats that people couldn't see further than what they were doing at the point and time."

Ridiculous comparison is ridiculous... despite any surface deep similarities that may exist.

GMAFB...

Is he being blackballed?

Yes.

Should he be mentioned in the same breath as Dr. King?

...anyone who says yes is out of their fucking mind.

This clown didn't even give a shit enough to vote!!!!_

GMAFB!!!

I am not going to say that he definitely hasn't been blackballed.

But, I do think it possible that all 32 owners independently came to their own conclusion that he isn't worth hiring. He isn't that good.

Jerry Jones was willing to give Greg Hardy a chance because he thought Hardy could play. As soon as Hardy proved he was a league average player instead of a great one, his services were no longer in demand because the headache wasn't worth it. Kaepernick isn't worth the headache either. He is definitely better than some NFL QBs, but not by enough to justify the hate an team owner would get by employing him.

@Mecca showed up and had to nerd it all up with the super hero stuff....

Totally understand your point.

I think what is being done to him sucks.

But, you reap what you sow.

While still with the Niners, Didn't he have a chance to go to Denver but didn't want to take the paycut?

I agree with most of what you say but Stanton makes Kaep look like an All-Pro/Pro Bowl'er.

I think so.....he didn't want to restructure his contract.
