Yes, he did. He opted out of his contract.
That’s not “quitting”. It’s opting out of his contract to become a free agent. Plenty of players have done it. It turned out to be a poor decision for his career but it hardly makes him a quitter. Your post is intellectually dishonest and you know it.

If only Kaepernick hadn't quit, he might be playing.
People forget that: he walked away from his team. No one wants to sign a player that does that.
Except he didn’t.

Please stop. The players that came into the AFL in the early 60's were NFL cuts or old men, undrafted college players, and CFL players looking for another shot. The majority of the CFL's best players were American players that could not make the NFL, many of them played in the early AFL. Cookie Gilchrest, one of the best Bills players in the 60's played in the CFL.
It was 1961. The Bills were one year old and they sent their scrubby team to play a preseason under Canadian league rules .. big field, 3 downs, etc. Never mind the Canadians league starts games months earlier than the AFL and NFL did. The Bills were not prepared and they were not very good that day. They were two years away from a Power House team.
This has nothing to do with what we saw in Baltimore yesterday.
The Bills are not jinxed. McDermott is not horrible. He was totally outcoached and unprepared for the season opener, no doubt about that. McDermnott and Beane are learning as they go. It sucks but it is true.
He and Beane started the season with a mess at QB, OL and WR. They need to own that. They both lack experience at their jobs and we are seeing it right now. To think that McCarron, Peterman and Allen was a good group to go to camp with was a crazy notion all along. There were lots of veteran QB in the free agent mix and this is what we got to start training camp.
If Peterman is still on the roster on Sunday, we’ll know they haven’t learned their lesson. There is no way he is qualified to step on an NFL field, even as a backup.

The Bills shouldn't be taking anyone with the #1 pick. They need to trade down if possible to get as many picks as they can get.
Yes, but we need to hope that a QB or two emerges so that other teams will want to trade up. Teams aren’t going to give up much to trade up for a defensive lineman, no matter how good.

That is my feeling too. But there have been a lot of good coaches and GMs who made glaringly bad choices on QBs.
True. If Allen pans out, all is forgiven.
-
Peterman is finished in the NFL. He’s nowhere near capable of even serving as a temporary backup. He needs to be released tomorrow and a street free agent signed to back up Allen.
What’s truly terrifying about the Peterman episode is what it says about Beane and McDermott’s ability to evaluate NFL quarterbacks.

Look at that. Even with the great game from Mack the Bears weren’t victorious.
I don’t know how anyone could have watched the Bills game and the Bears game and thought it would have been a good idea for the Bills to give up their next two first round picks for Mack, no matter how good he his.

I was begging for us to do this last year. We could have gotten out of #7 overall, and picked up Linemen on both sides of the ball, and/or a WR. Stupid....
Umm, no.

If it makes anyone feel better, Tyrod is still a bad QB.

Really? A FG? Down by 40 points?

How’s that McCarron trade looking?
-
We need to hope that some QBs emerge and someone offers a boatload of picks for no. 1 overall. This team has a LOT of holes.

Sure wish we’d ponied up a no. 1 pick for Nick Foles this offseason.

Waiting for someone to say that Thursday Night Football is killing the NFL...

52-yard FGs now routine in the NFL.

Mentioned yesterday the
#Steelers final offer to RB Le’Veon Bell was 5 years, $70M. More context today: The fully guaranteed part was his signing bonus of just over $10M. He would’ve made $33M over the 1st two years — in a rolling guaranteed structure. $45M over the 1st 3 years.looks like your right.
in any event, cry me a freaking river. The guy plays football. He told his teammates he would show-up for the regular season and didn't. Who is disrespecting who now? The guys blocking for him make less. Can't wait till Connor lights it up. I don't even think Bell is as talented as Gurley, Kamara, Johnson, or McCoy, FFYIW. He runs behind a great line and waits for holes to open with his delay step. That won't work everywhere.
Prediction: Connor racks up 130 yards on Sunday and Bell comes slinking into practice Monday morning. RBs are eminently replaceable, especially on a team like Pittsburgh.

Okay?
We made the playoffs last year with Tyrod.
Every GM in history would take Rivers over Tyrod.
What's your point?
That Rivers is not thst good and he hasn’t won squat in over a decade

Last year he posted 4500 with 21 td 10 int
And they missed the playoffs again, despite having a tremendous defense.

Phil Rivers shouldn’t scare anyone at this point, either.

Bills, 19-17. Big day for House $. Preseason means squat.

I'm honestly curious what everyone thinks, because I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility (he looked good last preseason, too). I'm worried it's as high as 40%, but I'll say 30% and be the optimist.
Poll only goes up to 80% because even typing more was too depressing.
Thoughts?
Amazing first contribution to the forum. Brilliant.

Is it time for Kaepernick?

That is false. He opted out of his contract, which would have guaranteed him $16 million, only when it became clear that the 49ers were going to cut him anyway. So thanks for another intellectually dishonest post.
