My point is , if you like someone, they could get away with just about anything. Look at Ray Lewis, probably a better example. Obstructed a murder investigation, after he retires, gets a job on an TV network doing NFL games.
Maybe not, but it's ridiculous to discount his success, just because you don't like him. Kelly sucked in the Super Bowls, abused women, did drugs and people in buffalo will kiss his butt any chance they have.
The company time line is BS. Players do a lot of self promoting at games. Tebow used to kneel and pray on 'company time'. Bills players used to gather at midfield after the game and pray. That's non football stuff on 'company time'.
Fair enough, but I don't think he's the one complaining about being blackballed, I'm sure he's disappointed, but it's mostly those that support him that say he is blackballed.
Call it whatever you want, but blackballed is a pretty accurate term. He quietly knelt for about 40 seconds before the games started, other players still are doing that. We have domestic abusers that are in the league and by your definition, they are also lousy employees, yet most are still in the league.
other than the fact that he's been working out constantly for the last few years, practiced with NFL players this past offseason and has his agent calling NFL teams looking for a tryout. I get people don't like him, but it's amazing listening to all the people that think they know what's going on inside his head.
Josh Johnson hadn't played in 7 years and was signed last season. The reason he isn't signed is because he's a lightening rod for crazy media coverage, it has nothing to do with his ability. Look at all the crappy QB's that played in week 2. I'm guessing with a full camp, he'd be no worse and likely better than some of them.
His agent says he would sign on as a backup, which would assume he would sign for backup pay as well. I agree that he probably won't get any offers, but no need to make up crap about him. If only he abused his GF... he'd have been reinstated a couple years ago.
If you're going to make a point, at least attempt to be accurate, you asked me for proof.
Did you even bother to look before posting about him opting out to confirm that?

Some team would need to offer him that before he could sign.
Led his team to the playoffs twice, one time to the Super Bowl and almost won.
He can blame teams that would rather start someone like mark sanchez. He was given the choice to opt out or be cut. Either way he wasn't playing on SF. There you go.
I agree I can't see any team taking him, but I hope teams that choose to knowingly suck at QB because they're afraid lose every game in embarrassing fashion. Like the Jets the other night.
