The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

I did play and when I played it was the correct way so casse-toi fils de pute ....if you will

Yeahhhhh..... good ol' Kaepernick.


Absolutely no place for him in the NFL today. Not with QB giants like that punk-ass Jameis Winston of the lowly, cellar-dwelling 3-7 TB Bucs (59.6% comp. pct., 19/18 TD/Int , 80.5 QBR). Not with the mighty Andy Dalton of the winless, hapless Cincinnati Bengals (0-10) and a 9/8 TD/Int stat line and a 79.2 QBR.

Not with at least half a dozen or more hapless teams BADLY in need of a QB right about now.

Personally I hope they ALL finish in last place, and Kaep goes on to make more money in football than he would've made IN football, without getting his brains scrambled.

Talk about thumbing your nose at the NFL.

Well, well, well...... MSN poll with almost 700k people voting on whether they'd like to see an NFL team sign Colin:

22% - Yes
64% - No
3% - Don't know
11% - No opinion

All the MORE reason I want to see Colin signed.

If not, he can go on the lecture tour and make some good money without getting his head bashed in. Cool.

Do you not remember him self sabotaging his own career?
#1 On June 4, 2014 Kaepernick signed a six-year contract extension with the 49ers, worth up to $126 million, including $54 million in potential guarantees, and $13 million fully guaranteed. On 3/3/2017 he opted out of his contract with the 49ers because he was no longer the starting QB. He wasn't the starter under Chip Kelly, he struggled under Jim Tomsula, and he wasn't set to be the starter under Kyle Shannahan. He assumed that the 49ers were going to release him which is why HE said he opted out

#2 Ray Lewis attempted to get the Ravens to sign him, and then Kaep's girlfriend posted a picture of the very same Ray Lewis as the Samuel L. Jackson character from Django Unchained and the offer was pulled due to that.

#3 He changed the location of his most recent tryout and didn't inform the teams coming to see his tryout.

Are those examples of a guy who WANTS to play the game in the NFL?

I mean I don't care if a team signs him or not, I haven't been watching the games at all since it became two hand touch football. I don't care if he's political, I don't care if he kneels during the National Anthem, I mean I personally don't appreciate the view, but he can do as he pleases obviously. Other players who have kneeled for the Anthem have been signed/haven't faced repercussions to the extent Kaepernick may have, why is that? Eric Reid for example still kneels he plays for the Panthers.

I don't necessarily trust that poll.

What will he lecture about?

[TitoFan]

I don't know whether he's a good speaker or not... probably not. But if he is, and were so inclined, I believe he'd probably speak up about the current white cop/black man situation (was going to call it a crisis, but situation will do for now) in the United States. That's probably part of what prompted Kaepernick's protests in the first place. He's out of football anyway, so what the hell....
