I thought RGIII was out of football.

Anyhow, Kaepernick is better.

Best QB on the roster

Well at least all those folks that still have his Jersey, will have some place proper to wear it on Sundays now.

 

[kbso83432]

I'll be interested to see what he looks like in preseason. See if he has his wheels back and if he can make more than two progressions.

I almost expect him to try to be a WR

Best of luck, Bob

Good - maybe it will have some value. I have one that has been gathering dust in my closet for the last 4 years or so - I would not even mind giving it away.

He was till this went down.

I think the thing that I see as cool is how much he and Flacco are alike.

What?

All the people angry that Kaep has been blackballed are gonna be pissed that RG3 gets a shot ahead of him - and they'd probably be right - and I'm saying that as someone who's not a Kaep fan. If I'm building a team, I take Kaep over RG3 without a stutter.

it is a little surprising, unless RG3 doesn't intend to be a QB

I think he lost a step with the ACL, and another position is probably no longer a viable option.

There was already a long list of QBs including starting QBs in the NFL who were worse than kaep. It is what it is

Anybody who thinks he's out of the league because of talent is an idiot.

Funny thing is....Kaep NEVER did anything that should have or could have offended anyone! He's out because of perception/ a false narrative and not reality!

(Uh-oh...here it comes)

Well - it is not an apples to apples comparison. For starters - rightly or wrongly - owners view Kaepernick as someone who will affect their bottom line because of his views. Heck - they might even not have a big issue w/ his stance but likely do in terms of the risk towards their revenue.

Beyond that it appears that Kaepernick would request a much higher salary & would also want to be a starter - if not rt away then sometime during the season when things go bad for the starter. RG3 likely signed for a small amt & likely has not huge aspirations & never has really complained about sitting on the bench.

This is nonsense, the people who affected their bottom line were the owners. They allowed this to turn into the shit storm that it became because they fell for then supported the false narrative. Was it NOT an agreement among these owners to allow a certain sort of political speech in allowing the Anthem to be played in their stadiums originally? (there were cash considerations being paid to them as well) There were much better ways to handle this and they failed miserably. Now statistics tell us that there are just as many people that support Kaep as there are who falsely view this unjust image of him, turning away from their product. Shame on all of their asses.

Read my reply again. I stated that the owners VIEW it in this manner. It doesn't necessarily mean it is true & doesn't really matter - perception is everything & the owners are the ones who make the final call - not us. You are correct that Kaep is polarizing & there are both people that support and oppose him.

You need to remove emotions from the equation & realize that this is just a risk that owners don't want to take & again some of them may actually kind of like him. You also can put some of the blame on Kaep and his significant other. He blew it w/ two teams where he actually had a shot -1. Ravens - they were ready to give him a shot but his girlfriend slandered the owner by calling him a character from Django Unchained (by all accts he is a decent person) & 2. Dolphins - Kaep pretty much sealed his fate with his pro-Castro shirt & stance after an earlier 49ers game - Miami is a hot bed for Cubans & lots of folks there would protest such a stance.

Don't want to get into the politics of the situation - I just question if Kaepernick really wants to play that badly at this time. I am guessing that if he would accept a true backup role and less $$ somebody might give him a shot. Oh well - I could be wrong & don't really care that much - bigger problems at this time.

Since his rookie year, he's complained about everything.
