Joe Thomas said it best when he called Colin a 'distraction.'
ReplyDeleteIf it's all about you, then don't become part of any team.
A team desperate for QB help will eventually have no choice but to at least work him out. Seattle is supposed to work him out.
ReplyDeleteyet wife beaters are allowed back and that's okay!?! he is good enough to get a job.
ReplyDeleteThe NFL has no scruples. If Kaepernick can deliver, they'll hire him and gleefully suck his sock every morning before their Wheaties. Look at animal abusers/murderer Michael Vick--hired by the Eagles fresh out of prison for running dog fights. May Vick and his NFL overlords rot in a hell in which they have to fight for their lives by tearing each others intestines out in a sand-filled pit.
ReplyDeleteSure, I guess the blackballing completely ignores the fact that he isn't an accurate pocket passer
ReplyDeleteand his progression reads suck. Always not seeing wide open guys because he was throwing on the first or second read.
ReplyDeleteHe burned his own bridges. No sympathy. Let him go play in Canada.
ReplyDeleteAside from being a distraction, he regressed in performance. But he got no help thanks to the 49ers incompetence, specially when they let Harbaugh walk out the door. I couldn't believe it. Colin will get a job after the preseason when starters or backups get all banged up. I have the feeling he will lit it up and then we will hear the I told you soss which is BS.
ReplyDeletewife beaters, accused rapists, animal abusers,etc. Kaepernick is basically a decent guy, but he went about it the wrong way. He also didn't have the clout to get away with it.#RenShaw is right, he will get signed after the injuries add up, No way of knowing how well he will do, but he won't be getting the money he would have.
ReplyDeleteNFL cares nothing about reputation--look at all the awful people (i.e. Michael Vick) they have let come back. If he wasn't performing well AND had a PR problem, then no team will want to touch him. If you're going to have PR issues then you have to be amazing and perform consistently. Not that hard to see why he's struggling to find work.
ReplyDeletehe is better than 95% of qbs on teams right now.
ReplyDeleteALOT OF nfl cleaners in the comments....
ReplyDeleteThey did but Carroll just said they probably wouldn't sign him at this time. He then said he was too good to be a backup?? Sounds like he would like someone to sign him to let him off the hook for getting his (kapernick) supporters hopes up.
ReplyDeleteHe'll get signed by someone whose QB gets injured. Whether he stays signed or plays for someone else will depend on how he plays and also on how he acts after getting signed. Any further distraction and he is done forever.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw that later on NFL Network. They said the guy they signed signed for the minimum pay and is basically the third-string QB and kaepernick would cost too much for that role. They agreed he's going to have a problem finding a team willing to pay him a lot.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can hold a press conference with Lisa Bloom to boost his image.
ReplyDeleteThe Kardashian girls all have lots of experience of blackballing
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't seem to have done them any harm.
