FireChan Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 His teammates (a.k.a. - people who actually know him) seem to think so. Who are "most people" and how hard do they work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) He is a terrible QB. He couldn't even play in an offense (Chip Kelly) that is basically designed for a guy like him. Chip is an awful coach, but there are better backup QB's available. Plus, TT has one bad game and then people are going to be "put Kap in." No thanks. Don't need THAT distraction. (in addition to the other HUGE one this no-QB talent jerk brings). Kap should go the Pryor route and try another position.

He couldn't? 16 TDs - 4 picks, his efficiency numbers were pretty similar to a few years ago when he was surrounded by MUCH more talent and was the toast of the league, the only really concerning thing was 7 fumbles. He certainly needs to bulk back up, but he wasn't terrible last year, especially considering what was around him.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Except that he stinks. He was figured out by the league and is not good enough. Get a backup that can come in and not lose you the game for a change. Plenty of professional accurate passers that we could bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a no risk acquisition with all upside and I would support it. Absolutely not. Not only is he an !@#$, he just isn't as good as he thinks he is.

87168 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 No politics NOT aside. He is a PR disaster and I know A LOT of guys who would be done with this team with him on it. F Him nah, he's a pr nightmare for bigots. funny, silent protest equals hatred for america, and freedom, but rapists, abusers and drug addicts = SIGN 'EM, please, go make love to your confederate flag.

klos63 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 he can't gain the weight on the diet he is on. It won't happen. to say you can only gain weight by eating meat is absurd. There are many exceptional vegan athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) He works harder than most people?

BillsFan4 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 America was (partially) founded on protest. I don't get how you can hate a guy for peacefully protesting... It's one of our rights as American citizens. It's part of what makes this country so great. Freedom of speech is a constitutional right. I will never forget what a veteran friend once said - freedom of speech is one of the things he fought for, so someone expressing their constitutional right is not disrespecting him at all. It's honoring what he fought to preserve. Anyway... He would not be my first choice, but I'd take Kaepernick as a cheap veteran backup QB. I'd only be interested if he came cheap enough, though. He plays a similar style to TT, so the offense could pretty much stay the same if Tyrod happened to miss any games, and I don't trust Cardale in the backup spot yet. I think the Bills could use a veteran backup QB (not necessarily Kaep). I think a good veteran QB could do Tyrod and Cardale some good. Not really sure Kaepernick is the right guy for that, though. I want an experienced, team first type guy who would be willing to help mentor Tyrod and Cardale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, because i don't know them, either.. ftfy to say you can only gain weight by eating meat is absurd. There are many exceptional vegan athletes. it is not absurd. nor did i say he had to eat meat. but, excellent misunderstanding and testimony of lack of a reading ability. *high five* While you're at it you could boycott Hawaii as well.. while he is boycotting hawaii, could you please pick up a book on grammar, you're going to be needing it. your lacking in the grammar department is making me miss the days of yore when posters could articulate correctly without such irony. *high five* ps, hawaii sucks.

KollegeStudnet Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 One of my favorite quotes was from a lifelong 9ers fan when texting him in 2015 about what happened to his team? "Colin became too cocky, never learned from his mistakes. Defenses figured him out. You get Colin frustrated early, game over. He became arrogant when coaches tried to show him what he was doing wrong in games. He didn't care. Still thinking he knew better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kap Helps Acquire Place to Deliver Food to Somalia this is not what the thread is about. why is reading comprehension so hard for so many? the only one proving to be a bigot here is you and the folks who quickly label all those they wish to not accept as intolerant. your bigotry and ignorance are not to be shared in such a poor fashion on this site, as this is about football. please take it to ppp where there is a topic right there at the top for you to bloviate in...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Kaepernick breaks off an 80 yard TD run and doesn't pant or hit the oxygen mask He obviously works pretty hard to be in such elite shape. I don't love him but he's just as good as our qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love him but he's just as good as our qb. he's not in jon daly shape, but he tries hard. being as good as tyrod taylor isn't all that difficult because he is an elite athlete who can play qb. qb for qb play, taylor is better. athletically, kaepernick maybe better. but as john c points out there is no much of a reason to want to go with kaepernick as a prosect going forward, his career is stagnant and he won't likely return to above average talent.
