Even though he’ll stand for the national anthem in 2017, polarizing quarterback Colin Kaepernick hasn’t publicly drawn interest from any teams since he opted out of his contract with the 49ers on March 3. However, the free agent nearly signed with a club last week, Niners general manager John Lynch told KNBR (via Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle).
[RELATED: Where Kaepernick ranks among unsigned QBs]
“I don’t know what happened to that market (for Kaepernick) because when we added our second guy, at that time, I can just tell you, you learn things,” Lynch said. “And he was in everyone’s mind in this league very close to signing a deal with a team at a really good number. And it fell through, apparently.”
The “second guy” in this case is Matt Barkley, who signed with the 49ers after they inked fellow signal-caller Brian Hoyer to a deal. While it appears Hoyer and Barkley will serve as the 49ers’ top QBs next season, Lynch hasn’t completely ruled out re-signing Kaepernick.
“I think the likelihood of it happening has probably gone down significantly,” Lynch said. “But we’re not going to close our mind or options on anyone, including him.”
Despite Lynch’s statement, it’s a good bet that Kaepernick 49ers career is over after six years and 59 starts. While the 29-year-old was San Francicsco’s No. 1 for the majority of his tenure there, he’ll likely have to settle for a backup role with his next team.
He’s still a really good QB IMO, hes way better than any of the options the Browns or Texans have, be interesting if he goes with the Chiefs since they arent high on Smith anymore kinda be full circle
Is Kap accurate enough fora West Coast offense?
I believe he ran it in college could be wrong, I believe he can hes averaging 60% completion with really no good targets thats about what Smith was averaging before going to the Chiefs. If he went there i feel he could average in the high 60s low 70s.
Lmao, youre so delusional, no good targets? Have you failed to realize how much better crabtree and davis looked once they got away from this guy? He was the reason they looked bad, not at all the other way around. Exactly what games are you watching that you think this inaccurate failure could complete 70% of his passes, you have to be a fanboy and not someone actually sees how bad this guy is. Fewer than half his yards were actually through the air.
Yup, this is entirely accurate. Was never a Kap fan, even back in 2012/2013. Glad he’s not with us anymore.
I like how everything gets blamed on the QB, Derek Carr is a better QB than CK i think thats obvious so your point is invalid he just has a better QB, Davis? As in Vernon Davis please tell me what hes done the past 2 seasons, when he was with Denver he didnt do ANYTHING.Who has he had in the past 2 years? Has he had something like Hill, Kelcie, Maclin and RBs to help the passing game? NO The only offensive threat he has had in recent years was Hyde! It only makes sense that if he goes to a team with playmakers he will have a higher percentage. I feel if he goes to Cleveland with that really good offensive line and good playmakers he’ll have a top 15 season
You do realize vernon davis had 44 receptions on 59 targets this year as the backup te for nearly 600yds, his last 20 games in sf he had 44 catches on 80 targets for roughly 440, sounds like that washed up te had a rebound once he had serviceable qb throwing him the ball
And everyone forgets how the 49ers have had everyone from crabtree, davis, brandon lloyd, stevie johnson, randy moss, torrey smith. All of them floundered with kap at the helm. The team brought in plenty of talent to help him, the one constant was kap sucks, you say the qb always gets blamed, why are you so quick to blame the “lack of talent” instead of the qb?
Also wanna throw in anquan boldin
Nope. He ran the pistol spread offense at Nevada.
He had a Anquan boldin Torrey smith. Boldin caught everything thrown to him. I think Torrey was in the wrong system personally. Once the league caught on to the read option his value as a qb dropped.
He’s six years into his career and cannot read a defense at the line, still hasnt learned to throw anything but a fastball, and still cant make plays with his feet unless he has an entire field to hit full speed. What may I ask do you consider a really good QB aside from all thAt to have that opinion of him? This guy has ruined many a receivers career, if any of these teams want their young wr’s to develop and flourish, they would be wise to stay as far away from this guy as possible.
Kaep doesn’t read defenses well. The rest of your post is unfounded nonsense.
What part is unfounded nonsense, it is well established at this point the guy has zero semblance of touch on his passes. Then for someone who is so mobile, he was sacked 36 times in 10 starts, compared to gabberts 11 in 6 starts, the more “mobile” player shouldnt getting sacked at a higher rate.
Why do people always go to this lazy analysis? Can’t read a defense? Says who because I’ve heard him spit out what defense a team was in after a game when explaining what he was doing. He’s just not the most accurate QB in the world, but I’d hardly blame that train wreck that was SF the last 2 years on him. When he had a good coach, he nearly won a Super Bowl and went to 2 straight championship games. In most people’s eyes, that’s pretty good. Funny how Matthew Stafford, Ryan Tannehill, and other QBs who have barely touched the playoffs but eat up way more of their teams’ caps don’t get hit with this nonsense. If Houston’s smart, they jump on this and don’t wait for broken down Romo to shake free in June. He’s proven he can win games in this league and direct a run first, defensive oriented team, and he actually has beaten New England doing that in New England who they’re trying to get past.
He’s barely better than Tebow. He’s kinda Brock Osweiler with better scrambling ability. Nothing more. A flash in the pan since his rookie year.
Alex smith is better than kaep
I think any team that is rebuilding and drafts a quarterback and wants him to sit on the bench and learn the system. Then Kaepernick would be a great quarterback to bring in for a few years and let him run the team in tell the rookie quarterback is ready to go and then you could put Kaepernick as your backup quarterback and have him help him in anyway he can because he is still a great quarterback that has lead a team to the Super Bowl.
Would you want him mentoring your QB of the future? I’m sure most GMs would not. I’m thinking mentoring is not one of his strong qualities
Says you.
And apparently every NFL team.
I’m sure any interest at this time is his agent talking up something that may not exist? When a player doesn’t sign it means that him
He is a joke know wants him he is done
Flunked Kindergarten?
Un-American anarchist. Let him go play for a team in Cuba.
Were the founding “fathers” anarchists too? Apparently it’s “un-American” to question tyranny now. Maybe you should go play for mother Russia–you’d fit right in with the nationalist there.
Its funny you mention questioning tyranny, because kap seemed to show his appreciation for it when he spoke of fidel castro. You know, the guy who killed thousands of fellow cubans who didnt approve of the tyrannical communist ideology he brought to cuba. I find it wierd you imply he sides with russia over the whole un-american comment, but you seem to fully support kaepernick, a guy who showed adoration to an actually anti-american communist/murderer, little ironic dont you think?
How much did the mob bosses and commodities traders pay you guys again? Cuz I forget.
What are you even talking about, its amazing how you seem to think you know what side of the political spectrum you think im on, well just based on your unoriginal thoughts i know exactly where you stand. I get it, were all russian sympathizers and fascists if we dont share your thoughts, your so clever. I guess being that i disagree with someone who praised a communist who actually affected my families life, that makes me a fascist?
*you’re
This isn’t the forum to get into politics and history. What I will say is that rampant corruption and marginalization of the Cubs people by the Mafia and American corporate interests in the sugar trade are what led to Castro overthrowing the previous regime in Cuba. It’s also why JFK was ultimately assassinated. Older Cubans in America are understandably bitter, but the reality both sides of this conflict were corrupt elitist using the people to further their own agenda. You were just on the LOSING side, not the “good” or “just” side.
“marginalization of the Cubs people”?
LOL, damn autocorrect…meant marginalization of the Cuban people.
You are right, its not a forum for politics, and looking back on it now i may have misunderstood the context of your comment and reacted badly, and for that i apologize. But it goes without saying, many people including my family were much better off without Castro seizing control, as my father is still paying to support my family still over there nearly 3 decades after leaving the island.
Can’t we all just get along…..and agree Kap is a bum. For all the Kap luvers here, speaking as 9ers fan…let em QB ur team.
It’s un-American to praise Communist leaders. As for Russia? Never been there, but my church did plant a sister church there.
As for his QB play? Heck, even my Browns passed on him.
Future high demand, Future high demand
I heard the Raiders were offering him a deal to pay him as the highest backup QB in the NFL
Saskatchewan here I come! Maybe he’ll stand 4 O’Canada…turd.
what team would sign the biggest locker room cancer in the NFL
Agree! Maybe Canada is better league for him since there appears to no zero market here at this time! He wants too much dough which doesn’t help his marketability. Pay cuts are blows to the egos, Hoyer signed a 2.5 mil backup contract last year with bears and ended up starting till he got hurt. Lap too proud or agent too greedy right now?
You mean the Locker room cancer that got voted by his teammates from “Locker” room to win the leadership award??
As a former service member, I simply want to remind people that I served to protect the right of Americans to enjoy all the freedoms afforded them by the Constitution of the United States of America. That includes Colin’s right to peacefully protest. We must also focus on what he was kneeling for. To bring attention to the killing of unarmed blacks by police. I’m proud of my service and I’m proud of Mr. Kapernick’s attempt to bring attention to this issue. He deserves the opportunity to play and any team not considering him has totally dismissed his talent. A few people are using their freedom to demonize a man who was using his freedom to call attention to an injustice. I truly hope someone rewards him for his bravery with another chance to lead a team to the Super Bowl.
Yes he does a right to peacefully protest, that i have no problem with, although as someone with cuban heritage i despise the fact that the he stood for those being oppressed, by admiring a tyrant who oppressed his own people for the better part of a century. That being said, any attempt to demonize him on my behalf has absolutely nothing to do with that, its simply based on the fact he has been regressing considerably for years, and all those who talk up his “talent”, neglect his many glaring flaws and somehow believe hes going to revert back to his first two years in the league, and by doing so they forget he actually had those same flaws back then. Hes going into his 30’s, if he still hasnt put in the time and effort to learn how to read a defense and see the whole field, at one point do you accept it rather than keep looking at the past.
First, thank you for your service.
Second, I agree that he has the right to protest. I have zero problems with that.
Third, I do not believe Kap is a good QB. If I had to watch another season of him killing drives by taking unnecessary sacks, wildly missing open receivers, and just generally not knowing how to read a defense or know where to go with the ball, I would lose my mind.
Still, I wish him the best, and I hope he does do well with another team.
Well said his market or lack there of is based on a few things, no opening doesn’t seem to fit certain s schemes and his abilities. I’m sure it has nothing to do with his rights good bad or indifferent
Yeah, beating Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs in GB twice and Tom Brady in New England doesn’t fit anybody’s “scheme.” Exactly what that has happened the last 2 years in SF was his fault? I want one person to tell me with a real argument who would have overcome what York did to that team. Just one person do that.
What has happened the last time he played either of those teams? They lost. Maybe he spent any point in the last 6 years learning to read the field and throw more accurately, he could use his mobility better especially behind a porous line. Noone would accuse the Seahawks of having a great o-line and he seems to be monumentally better than Kap, simple reason being he put in the time and effort to get better, Kap clearly hasnt. But if it makes you feel better, both you and him can continue making excuses as he sees his way out of the league.
*russell wilson
Okay, so you have nothing for me then. I said explain to me who would have overcome what York did to that team the last 2 years, and you came back with nada. Anybody? I didn’t say intersperse what you think of his flaws as a QB. I said tell me who would have overcome what York did to that team the last 2 years. I’m waiting because I only have his career before with competent coaching where he went to the NFC championship twice and after with York seemingly sabotaging his own franchise to go by, nothing else.
You want someone, russell wilson. He has the same skill set, arguably the same “lack of talent” around him and he succeeds. Im not either a 9er or seahawks fan, but i can tell you that that team did try to surround him with talent, losses of defensive personal should not affect your qb play. Take into consideration this team had boldin crAbtree davis gore and hyde, along the way they brought in brandon lloyd, torrey smith, randy moss and stevie johnson. Dont tell me he never had anyone, he is the problem. Im bringing facts youre bringing your perception of him into this, his flaws are a huge reason hes gonna south, because teams adjusted to him and he never bothered to correct them.
You actually think Russell Wilson and Kaepernick have similar skill sets, lol. Oh boy. I guess you also think those rosters have been comparable the last 2 years too, right, which was what I asked you. Who would have overcome what York did to that team, but you still have nothing for me I see. But I’m going to chew on this notion that Wilson and Kaepernick are at all similar since one played in a pro style offense for 3 years at NC State and one came out of the pistol into the league, lol. Never mind the Pro Bowl defense that one still has and the other lost all in pretty much one offseason all at the same time, lmao. His team spent money on #2 and #3 receivers, so it’s all good. He should have been putting up Brady numbers, lmao. I hope you keep this stuff to yourself when you talk football in person with people so as to not embarrass yourself.
Dude youre embarassing yourself. Hes been in the league six years, if he hasnt learned the pro system yet, youre only proving my point, quit while youre behind.
Aside from that how does defense effect his play, even if he is behind, if he had spent even a fraction of time honing his craft, he could still play his position efficiently. Your grasping at straws here bud. Youre the only person who thinks your argument is valid, plenty of teams have bad defenses, that doesnt mean their qb has to be trash.
Why doesn’t he protest blacks being killed by blacks? Now there’s an epidemic.
And by the way, more whites than blacks are killed by police.
He protested because the police are charged with serving the community. These crooked cops are not policing, they’re murdering people. The race of the victim should not be relevant, but you people make it do with you’re indifference. And please, don’t pretend to care about black-on-black crime. It’s just a convenient deflection to justify your flawed logic. Your indifference and tolerance for the subjugation of others to maintain a power differential is a crime against humanity, and you should be ashamed.
Hmmm, did he protest when cops were killed? Nah, doesn’t fit the narrative.
Again with the deflections. Cops die. How does that justify slaughtering unarmed civilians in the street (most of the time in custody, except for people getting shot in the back)? How does it justify the lying and cover-ups in the aftermath? If it was your neighbor that you watched get killed by police for no damned reason, would your attitude change? Civilians are not cops. They don’t have a badge or carry guns with a license to shoot. You violate the public trust when you ignore the law, especially when race is the main factor.
Keep drinking the kool-aid, libby.
B _ L L S H _ T
want to buy a vowel?
Not to mention that white people and every other race gets killed more by someone of their own race than any other too, so it’s a silly talking point to bring up in the context of this problem even when these people are trying to deflect.
You speak on unarmed. But they may be unarmed but still pose a threat. Level of fighting skills. I’ve seen plenty of individuals not just black attack and kill officers with out weapons. It does not make them less dangerous. Being armed just makes it easier to kill. But once again what if these individuals what ever race they were just listened to the commands of the cops. I would like to believe they would still be alive. It sounds amazingly good for what ever group of people want to use the unarmed portion because the media uses it to lure people in for ratings. I hate the media who lies through it’s teeth and plays on the emotions of people. Because they know they will get ratings if they spin it a certain way. Cops, and civilians die. But I can tell you one thing. Wether you think the cop is wrong or right. If you listen to the mans orders and do what he says you will be alive to see your kids. If not you are increasing the chances to be hurt or even killed. There are lots of good cops. But some bad ones. In every profession and every walk of life there good and bad. Eventually the bad ones will be found and removed. Leaving the good ones to do the job they swore to do.
Non-compliance is not a legal or moral grounds for taking someone’s life, or torturing them to death.
Deadly force should only be used if the perpetrator presents a lethal and imminent threat to others.
I’m all for beating the dog crap out of people who try to fight with cops. But there have been events where people, particularly unarmed black men, have been shot point blank while laying on their back with three 230 lb. cops on top of them. That is not policing, that is an execution. The police in the US are trigger happy, and something needs to be done about it. Re-train them on how to actually police people (like police in the UK) instead of militarizing them further, which only serves to escalate violence in our communities. We need de-escalation, and we need to be able to trust the police. Torture and cold-blooded murder does not build trust.
Well said, Richard. It’s good to see someone who gets it.
Use your right to free speech off the field. Everyone has opinions but there’s a time and a place. He’s an avg QB period
Getting into politics. How many of the unarmed black men continued to fight and attack police. But that does not matter right. Just the fact that they were unarmed. But instead of focusing on the unarmed aspect. Why doesn’t the media or anyone else talk about what if the individual just listened to the cop and stopped fighting or resisting would they be alive today. But I guess that not a good enough topic to speak of. Just that he was unarmed is what matters. Not the actions leading up to the shooting. But I get it. It’s easier to blame he cops than the individual.
Watch the videos, people are getting murdered for no reason. The worst video I saw was a black guy in a company vehicle gets pulled over for some unknown reason. The cop (who is off camera) asks the guy for his license and reg. The guy attempts to pull his wallet out of his shirt, and the cops shoots him. No warning, nothing. Just plugs him. The guy asks the cop why he shot him, saying he was just getting his wallet. He didn’t have a gun. The guy bled to death on the scene. Get on YouTube and see for yourself. These aren’t situations where people are doing anything threatening. Taking someone’s life for what are essentially minor offenses is a fail by this society, not just the cop.
I hope he never plays again. I can respect his views on racism, I have no issue with that, but kneeling during the national anthem I. Front of soldiers who have risked there life’s for you to make more money then they’ll ever see playing a child’s sport? For real you are a pos ck continue disrespecting those who help make all are lives better bc you think your above them. You are an insult to our country and the NFL for how you handled your protest and who you decided to protest against. I will never respect you and hope your NFL career is done to not respect the men n women fighting for our freedom.
Soldiers serve to protect our way of life, which includes the right to free speech and peaceful protest. You should learn more about what it is you’re fighting for. I did.
Kaep never did the one thing u gotta do to b a successful NFL QB and that is get better. I think his 1st and 2nd year as a starter was peak Kaep. Protest crap aside. He’s just not that good. If u want to take a stand against political views then b good and no1 will show as much hate
Twice as many whites get killed by police, than blacks, so WE should be the ones protesting! But we’re rational enough to know that most of them probably did something illegal to deserve it. Don’t do the crime, or listen to the police so u don’t put yourself in that situation is my advice!
“…probably did something illegal to deserve it.” Speaks volumes.
How are you not disgusted with yourself when you look in a mirror.
I’m a rational white girl, and that comment – that they probably did something illegal to deserve it – is offensive and just flat out wrong. Not only is it offensive, but it is wrong in the sense that innocent African-Americans get pulled over/arrested (or worse) all the time.
This whole “I’ll stand for the anthem” thing has probably turned off some teams as well. At first he wouldn’t stand because of his beliefs, but now he’ll stand? Why, because everything he wasn’t standing for has been resolved? Or because he knows he’s a 3rd string QB on 25 teams and just wants the paycheck?
Agree to why all of a sudden he’s going to stand now? Why? Because it will help his potential new contract, I’m sure his agent made the choice for him to stand now
And those defenses. He had Pat Willis and those good defenses. Rex Grossman made it to the super bowl and with a good defense. You saying Kap isn’t as good as Rex Grossman? Lol
Tom Brady wouldn’t last 3 games with the 9ers. It’s the line not qb
As much as i hate brady and the patriots, you are out of your mind with this statement. Brady actually gets rid of the ball quickly as opposed to Kap running around the backfield like a chicken with its head cut off. Again, it all comes back to not being able to read a defense, he doesnt know what hes seeing, so he holds the ball.
Tom Brady wouldn’t last 3 games with the 9ers.It’s line not the qb
Kap is a great qb. San fran messed up management, ceo, coaching staff, and team. He will get his chance to get back in a good environment. And coyld be one of best qbs ever
I agree with u Richard he stood for up for what he believe in.Especially at a point in time that was needed to create public awareness of the issue of Black people being killed at the hands of police who are sworn to protect and serve.Yeah right.At least he was man enough to do what je did while other N.F.L Players stood on the sidelines..!
It would have been noble if he actually stood on his principles, make no mistake this was all to get attention because he was benched. He stated he would not stand again for the anthem until minorities were no longer oppressed, what has changed since then that in his mind he would think they are no longer oppressed. Or is it simply that he is trying to appease any prospective employer because he knows he miscalculated how it would all work out.
No, no everything’s better now, Kap personally brought down racial oppression……or his agent read him the riot act and explained how he has made himself unemployable, he got himself benched, couldn’t beat out Blaine Gabbert, before taking on his NFL Gandhi persona, money talks and Kap walks…
He brought this on himself, if you want to play AMERICAN football, then respect the AMERICAN FLAG. I hope he is finished, sorry to say it but karma will always be around you.
If any team picks dumbass Colin c. Ur team will lose money. Fans pay ur bills. There will be no fans in d stands n no items purchased. Capadick is done!!!
Actually, the TV contract pays them and that’s not up for another 5 years ($13 billion profits at last check), but thanks for showing that you’re another self delusional fan who thinks they’re more important than they are. Also, when did peaceful protest turn into disrespect? I guess we better revise history about the Boston Tea Party then.
There is a difference of protest for a good cause and getting your name out there using the good cause for your own publicity. I find Kap did the latter because he was irrelevant again and he has a massive ego.
i think Kap does have ability and skills to be an ok starting qb but he needs to be center of attention and you can see it in his style of play that or he is really bad at looking for the 2nd option. If his first option is closed down he takes off and runs with it 80% of the time. So you leave the spy out there and you basically turn Kap into nothing.
He didn’t ask anybody to bother him when he wasn’t standing for the anthem. The reporters went up to him and asked him about it. He didn’t spout off about it in a team session, so exactly how was he trying to bring attention himself. No one can tell me this when it’s not shown on TV, and thus if you didn’t know from the reporters asking him, a backup QB at the time, you wouldn’t have known.
Kaep is the worst QB in the league. Here is why. He is not a QB. He breaks down every play, can’t make a second read. Then runs. Blitz or put a spy on him. That’s the solution and it’s so easy. Coming for a diehard 49ers fan. The downfall was not at all his fault but he certainly did NOT help. On top of that he is fake. He is a liar and manipulator. This was the only year people had his back in the locker room. And that was only because the team was in diseray.
Lol what in the world are you talking about he’s terrible. TERRIBLE
Tard
I nearly slept with the most popular girl in high school. Nearly doesn’t count.
He made no impact on Denver with Peyton Manning throwing him the ball. I love Vernon, but he is no longer a top tier TE.
Davis made no impact on denver because manning was decrepit in his final year, he seemed to fair much better last year.
The “almost signed deal” recently was for him to move to wideout. No deal. He still envisions himself as starting caliber NFL QB…think he’d find hard time getting starting gig in CFL right now. Alot of wasted words and energy on this topic here. He’s a footnote. Had a lucky run in playoffs once and then the league made adjustments. Can probably hang on a couple years as backup, could have carved out nice Bolleresque backup career if he hadn’t made himself so toxic. Fact that 49ers would rather have Barkley speaks volumes.
Realfootballfan… lmao, that’s what you’re basing his ability to read a defense on? I would hope he could spit out info on the D the opposition ran once the game ended… otherwise he has no business being in the NFL. I’m a pro-Kaepernick person when it comes to his off-field decisions but he is an inaccurate QB who absolutely struggles to read a defense. If you’ve ever watched him play QB this would be obvious to you, “Realfootballfan”
No, I’m basing it on that if he really coudln’t read a defense, he wouldn’t be in the NFL. But “can’t read a defense” is one of those silly buzz phrases people who have never played football throw out there, and it always comes up about certain players and not others when people are trying to spin a narrative. Also, yeah, if I’m basing it on him running down a complicated defensive look wallking off the field when the mic person asked him what was that play and the defense the other team was in, he spit it out without stuttering. Could you? Like I said, he’s got enough flaws as a QB for people who don’t know anything about football to make stuff up.
He’s about to be out of the nfl for his inability to read a defense what are you talking about? Do you not remember the play against i believe the lions where torrey smith had literally nobody near him before the snap, a simple pre-snap read would have seen it, but kap was so inept at seeing the field he handed the ball off.
If that’s actually how it worked in the NFL champ. How do you know if his coaches told him don’t audible? If he did, which would have been a no no in Chip’s system if you knew anything about how much of a control freak he is, then you would have said he was being a malcontent for not following the coach’s orders. Plenty of stuff to pick on for his game, but you still haven’t hit it once yet in these replies. Playing QB in the league isn’t like playing Madden on your video game. I know. You don’t because you don’t even remember the freaking play. Just admit that everything with him is colored by your so called offense to him peacefully protesting, which you made abundantly clear early on here. I’m here talking about football, and you’re inventing stuff.
link to nfl.com
Theres the link champ, and youre right it was actually against the rams. It was actually two years ago, and if your coach doesnt allow to check out of play at the line, theres only one reason, he doesnt trust you.
Heres the article about that game in which kaepernick says he didnt even see the play in question.
link to nfl.com
While i am at it, heres one talking about after a game in 2014, kap spit out what defense the team was playing and what the offense was doing, almost pike he knew what he was talking about. Only problem was misread the defense and didnt see boldin open, this was back in 2014 when they had boldin, crabtree and davis still, but i guess the inability to distinguish the correct coverage was on them.
link to 49ers.pressdemocrat.com
Everybody want to talk about Kap can’t do this and can’t do that. I don’t see y’all playing in the NFL.
And more than likely you won’t see Colin K in the NFL either
I don’t believe any team is desperate enough to bring him in
Doesn’t matter if we can’t do it and aren’t in the NFL. He is, it’s his job so he should be able to do his job which he gets paid millions for.
Was kind of my point. You said he couldn’t read defenses, but the fact that he spit out what defense they were in and the play they ran against it right after the game kills that lazy take. If he couldn’t read defenses, he wouldn’t last that long in the league. Just admit you don’t know wtf you’re talking about. Like I said, he has plenty of actual flaws to pick on like the fact that he is not accurate and doesn’t put touch on his ball. Maybe you meant he doesn’t throw with anticipation? Just saying that lazy “he can’t read defenses” take isn’t going to fly here if you’re actually trying to be serious about talking football.
I’d take him as a back up in Minnesota for a back up price
no
Kaepernick is nit a good QB not sure why anyone sticks up for him. Yes he didn’t have a team the last two years but he did have a good team the last year Harbaugh was there and he was garbage then. He got worse and worse after his breakout. He panicked when the pocket collapses and either takes a sack, throws it away, tries to force it or throws a INT. He took some big hits and I think it messed with him. He didn’t run like he did that first year and a half. He has no touch pass and tries to force everything with a bullet pass and stares down his receivers while missing open receivers over and over because he already has his guy he wants. Not sure why anyone sticks up for this guy. The league figured him out. He is every athletic and has a ton of potential but it won’t amount to anything unless he changes his game up completely. Needs to stop panicking when the pocket collapses and run like he use to because that was when he was at his best.
Kap has always had the physical measurables, rocket arm, fast, great athlete…his issue has always been between the ears, and that was before he opened his mouth and entertained us with his views on society. Knock on him coming out of Nevada was ran spread, can’t read D, and he’s proved it. League made adjustments, he didn’t. Has gotten progressively worse since coming into NFL. He handicapped his own career by being outspoken and mostly by regressing when given opportunities. That said, everybody loves a good American redemption story…I’m sure somebody will work em out.
His problem was between the ears according to who? The train wreck SF franchise after Harbaugh left or according to Harbaugh who continued to stick up for him and the bad situation he was in after he essentially got fired? Like I said, if you want to bring facts to this, I’m waiting, or maybe some of you are ready to defend York, Baalke, and their last 2 bad coaching staffs. This dude here actually said no one cares he didn’t have a good team around him because that was irrelevant, lol. Okay, that’s objective.
This anti American Muslim looking goat loving QB needs to take his anti American ass out of our country. And Conner Byrne if you don’t like American’s like myself speaking up and standing up for OUR great country…. I suggest if your liberal self can’t handle the heat…. don’t post the post.
Liberal this, liberal that. Everyone who questions authority in this country gets a label now. America is an idea, not a place. And that idea is dying.
1 year ago, a QB with similar stats, aka mediocre at best wasn’t signed until late July. No one said he was blackballed. No one brought race into the situation. He simply wasn’t thought to be that good of a QB, and he showed that.
Kaepernick is NOT a good QB either. Get over it. He’s a back-up. No one is rushing around trying to lock up a back-up that wants to be paid as a starter. Brock and Fitz 2.0 is not the way to go.
I was referring to Fitzpatrick.
Whats better is fitzpatrick was coming off the best year of his career and couldnt find work, kaeps best year was easily 3-4 years ago and he keeps regressing.
