Kaep will stand for the anthem starting next year

[Hank Kingsley]

I heard on sportstalk radio today the Jets might be interested.

He will play somewhere.

Looks like someone wants to increase his marketability.

Really makes me sick to my stomach that him or anyone else standing or not standing for the anthem is news and had/has to be discussed ad nauseum.

If there is a valid discussion about Kaep it should be about if he will ever be close to the quality of QB he was at his peak (which, by the way, is kaep backwards).

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

But if he is truly going to stand next year, is he really going to be a distraction? Not like he was a known as a cancer/bad teammate. I can't see him being a distraction if he plans on standing for the anthem next season

IDK, I don't follow him close enough to know his true persona, but on the surface he looks egotistical. And people like that will always find a way to garner extra attention to themselves.

If we're just talking about football...imo you could do worse than Kaep at QB, certainly as a backup. The standing or not standing stuff...whatever price he has to pay for it is his own undoing.

Makes zero sense. They have 2 QB's they drafted kind of high so why not just give them the chance unless they're going to field 11 QB's week 1.

Good for him.

 

[Manster7588]

In other words he is saying, "I'm about to be a free agent, and I don't want teams to think I may be a distraction with my kneeing thing, so now I won't be doing it any longer!"

If signed, will that team put "Must stand for the Anthem" in his contract?

Well I guess the fearless leader is not feeling oppressed by white people anymore....Someone must have told him they made him a millionaire and he was about to demoted to Popeyes chicken fryer.....He would be a starter there though...
What a phony !!!!!

Cocksucker deserves to have to go play in the CFL for kneeling during the fucking National Anthem anyway. Hope he is out of the league but he wont be! Someone will bring him in

 

[Davis_Mike]

This just backs up what many people were saying about him, he is a phony. It's easy to 'take a stand' when you have nothing on the line. Now that he has skin in the game, he changes his tune.

Whenever I here him him speak on issues, he comes off as that college kid who just read a single biased booked on a subject & became an activist. He is a joke. His statement on his change of stance, is a joke too.

Kaepernick was always a privileged child playing at protest.

None of the Jets QBs on the roster have any proven success, but if they were looking at bringing in a vet...a guy like Cutler makes a whole lot more sense to me.

 

[packerzrule]

Do they even play the American anthem in McDonalds?

fixed

Then maybe the Aints should sign him.....

Or are you against that

 

[Inimical]

He can win games, he will start next year, personal feelings aside. Hes good enough to start for many teams.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Since it seems the Jets are going into full rebuild mode, I doubt Kap ends up in NYJ. Add in the fact that their HC Todd Bowles isn't a fan of the BS that Kap surrounds himself in. And I just don't see a match.

I can see them going the Glennon, Foles, or Geno route instead.

Not agianst it at all. I would take him on my team as a backup for sure

By all means, take him....

A circus like that will never be welcomed in Pittsburgh.
He is nothing but an attention whore....Shades of Terrell Owens with his dumbass!!!!

I would love to hear the logic of how it will be a circus if he plans on standing for the anthem. Are you dumb?

Didn't take you long to start with the name calling....

Must of rustled your jimmies....

Because the press will be up his ass weather he stands or sits because of how he acted last year.
Were you just born yesterday??? Have you not seen how weather there is a story or not the press will feed it to see if they can make it grow??? Do you not think the press will be all up in his shit trying to egg a story out of him to see why he has changed his mind, or to try and push him by saying some shit like, You are not true to your convictions because now he has decided to stand???
