PrepGridiron Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Right or wrong; He's being made an example of. I don't see him being signed either. Unless a team/owner feels with absolute confidence that he will take their team over the top to a SuperBowl appearance, I don't see it happening.

His mechanics have regressed according to his college coach at Nevada chris ault. He's got a smaller frame and has lost significant muscle mass after losing weight. And finally, Nfl defenses have caught up to the read option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he ain't taking a team over the top to a Super Bowl appearance. He's just not that good. Couple that with his off-the-field decisions, and he is not worth bringing to a team. The Broncos are in dire need of a QB, and have a defense worthy of making a playoff run, as long as they have a serviceable QB. But although Kaepernick is better than what Denver has on their roster, I don't see them risking the disturbance that would come along with bringing him aboard, in return for his average/below average NFL QB abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can remain in relative anonymity for a few years in the minors and maybe get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I don't see why Carolina wouldn't. I used to like Derek Anderson back in the day, but with Kaep they don't have to change their offense much should Killa Cam go down again.

Jets have shitty QBs and Kaep is as good but that's not saying much and owners don't want the headache.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they should call it what it is. He is being black balled period. He is not on a roster because he is not good enough. He is not on a roster because no one wants the headache. Call it what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it what it is. What exactly is he being blackballed for tho? I keep hearing that he brings a lot of baggage or off the field decisions but what are those exactly? Taking a knee during the national anthem? He wasn't the only one. He was the first but not the only one. Probably not the last. Also many players have done much worse like actually hurting a child or their girlfriend or whatever and have been welcomed back. But taking a knee is where the owners are drawing the line? Head scratcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People feel that if Kaep is signed people are gonna boycott their team over his decision to kneel during our national anthem. If the owners feel they are gonna lose money on you then you are not gonna be signed as a starter at least in the league. There was an article that came out that said less people watched the NFL because of him which means that hurt the NFL financially 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the first one, he is the only free agent who took a knee, he is a QB the face of the team and he is black. Owners don't need much more in their frigged up minds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
