Is it time for Kaepernick?

[Aussie Joe]

Nice first post...

 

Thanks for joining to share..

It's time to panic if you were expecting anything more than what you saw from the 1st team in the preseason.  This isn't just a one off poor performance.  After the Carolina game the 1st team on both sides looked challenged to say the least.  At this point they will be lucky to win even one game.  They could possibly set some dubious records this season.  I don't see them being even competitive in any game this year.  Brings back bad memories from the 80's.  At this point why not bring in Kap?  This season is a slow motion train wreck.  Just find something better to do on Sunday and look forward to the 1st pick and getting out of cap jail.  No amount of coaching and scheming will make up for how little NFL talent is on the roster right now.  The only perplexing thing is the D.  The offense ya we all expected them to be this bad but the D?  They're getting gashed for over 10 a pop.  So getting back to the subject ya why not?

He’s not interested in getting his clock cleaned

First off he's not good.  Secondly he's currently suing the NFL so no one is going to hire him.  Third he hasn't even been on a field in 2 years.  Fourth did I mention he's not good?

[thenorthremembers]

Quarterbacks Id sign before Kap 

Mark Sanchez, Derek Anderson, Matt Moore, Landry Jones, and Sonny Jurgenson.

Absolutely not...and I am someone that SUPPORTS his right to the protests he has done.

 

Let me run my own "process" on him. First and foremost, would he upgrade the roster? Yes, he would likely be an upgrade on Peterman. Not seeing him play in 2 years I would need to work him out. See uf hes in shape. 

 

Second, would he fit in with the locker room? That I cannot answer as I have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. For the sake of argument let's say he is a fit. Third, does he have any off the field issues that would detract from his availability (pending suspensions) or ability to play? I would say no to this as well.

 

Now on to the intangibles. Would he want to come here? Unknown. Would he cause a distraction? Absolutely. Does his talent warrant the distraction? Absolutely not. 

 

At the end of the day, he really showed promise as a young player. Once Harbaugh bolted for Michigan, he regressed. I also would have a hard time justifying tothe league why I am bringing in a guy that is taking them to court and wouldn't want to risk being on the bad side of Goodell.

 

All things considered, when players like Geno Smith and Peterman have a job, talent wise Kap has a place. When you add in the circus he would cause and the negative attention it would bring...his talent does not outweigh the negativity.

YES! 

[/dev/null]

I'm not a fan of his as a player or a protestor

 

But that said, let the protests work in our favor.  After a few weeks of getting beat up behind this line (and sucking in general, as CK has been known to do), he would inevitably play the race card.  Old whitey defensive players are out to get him, thus neutralizing any white defensive player from being allowed to touch him.

 

White starters will be subbed for black backups.  After a few weeks of punishment by black only defensive players, it will of course be the white plantation owners punishing him with the help of Uncle Tom defenders.

 

At which point CK will have a bubble of Ref protection comparable to Brady.  In hindsight we really should have signed him sooner so The Narrative could have started in training camp and we'd be on our way to another Wild Card

[Teddy KGB]

Can we get Blaine Gabbert too so we can bench Kaepernick for him ? 

[BigBobby]

Well...if u saw that racist, Shaun king's tweet yesterday about the bills improving CK's collusion case because we started Nate over him, maybe he would think the bills are less collusiony if we signed him?

[Radar]

Don't care to have him but anyone who thinks he wasn't blacklisted well okay.

[Coach Tuesday]

He’s a clear upgrade over Peterman who doesn’t belong on an NFL roster.  So yes.

[leh-nerd skin-erd]

It would screw up the ad campaign. Multimillionaire football player risks losing everything, some people will buy it.  

 

Multimillionaire football player risks everything, loses all (except the money), comes back to play qb in Buffalo only to find collusion is actually the better option? 

 

No way.

Kapernick isn't the first NFL player who caused a distraction, there's list a mile long of players (and Owners) who caused distractions, who were welcomed back into the locker room.

 

NFL teams have dealt with distractions for decades.  Many outstanding teams thrived despite those distractions.  So claiming that Kapernick is untouchable because he might cause a distraction is just not believable.  

 

You missed the entire point. I'm saying his talent does not outweigh the headaches. That wont work. Never has.

I hate saying this but captain checkdown was WAYYY better than Peterman has ever shown. Edwards had good games and even won a few. Peterman.. do I need to even go there? 

 

You mean except when he ran out of bounds on 4th and 10 on the opposition 40 yard line when were down a score late in the 4th quarter behind the LOS instead of throwing the ball up there? I mean it might have been picked...can't have that...

Kaepernick's stats in his last game.  You're RIGHT.  Looks almost identical to Peterman's line.  122.3 QBR compared to um...let's see....uh...zero.  Yep.  Identical.             Sun 1/1

Kaps making $11 million this year without danger of getting a concussion or losing a knee. He will never take another NFL snap. There is no logical path back to the field for him.

[bigK14094]

Never Kap....distraction would be unlimited, really.   Landry Jones....ok, go for it.  Really need a third QB in case of injury says me.

[PlayoffsPlease]

I don't think Colin Kaepernick would do anything that would disrupt his status as the world's wealthiest perpetual victim. 

 

But no reasonable person could conclude Nate Peterman is a better QB than Kaepernick.  Also no reasonable person could conclude that Peterman is better than Tim Tebow or Johnny Manziel.

Do I dare say it...... it may be time for Colin Kaepernick to come in for a work out.

The media circus it would bring may be just what this team needs,

It would divert attention away from this sad roster and give Allen a back up who has played it this league.

If you put aside his politics: there is no way he is not a better QB than Pickerman.

Ill be the first one to buy a pair of nikes with a bills logo on it.

no. no. no

 

[Big Turk]

No. We just got rid of a marginal starter who did everything right, was a great leader and caused no distractions or headaches. Why would we want to get a different one that brings a media circus amd tons of baggage?

 

If a player wants to cause elite level headaches for teams he better have elite level talent. The reason Kaep finds himself out of the NFL is because he doesn't.

[bobs0108]

Just No

[bobobonators]

No its not. Its time for Allen. 

[mead107]

ABSOLUTELY NOT 

[greeneblitz]

Never, he's trash on and off the field, this staff would never ever sign that guy.

 

[Keukasmallies]

Kaepernick would be just the tasteless icing on a cake that failed to rise.  The Bills are an athletic train wreck, why even propose a social media hurricane as any part of a remedy?

[Best Player Available]

Maybe this can kick this Kap Crap to the curb.

 

Didn't he in his last season with the 49ers play the Bills at home? 

I vaguely remember that he commented. That playing in Buffalo he experienced

the worst racist comments and considered Buffalo the worst stadium he played in during

his protesting.  With that in mind, I doubt he would consider playing in Buffalo.

Just as important I doubt a single person at OBD would reach out  to him. 

[YodaMan79]

I think the earlier mention of Mark Sanchez wasn't a bad one.  He's taken on the mentor role well in the past couple of years and is not a threat to Allen.  He's a professional and I think could really help with Allen's development.  He's an interception machine due to arm strength, but he's proven to be serviceable.  Another mention I thought was interesting was Griffen.  I'm game for kicking the tires on anyone now. 

 

Who in the QB room is going to make him better in the mental and preparation side of the business?  Rex Grossman embraced this with the Redskins, got a couple more years in the league and helped with Cousins.

My guess is that the OP is not a Bills fan at all. It's someone with a vested interest in stirring up discussions to keep Kaepernick relevant. Could be ideologically motivated, could be from Nike. No way to know for sure, but I suspect anyone taking this post seriously is being played. 

Evidence? The guy joins and starts a topic and comments on others solely related to Kap. Real "billsblood" there...not.  

[Kirby Jackson]

I support Kaep’s right to protest. He clearly belongs on an NFL roster if Peterman is on one. The only evidence that he needs to win his case against the NFL is Peterman’s game tape.

 

With that being said this is not the spot for him. We are turning the page to Allen. The future is starting and there is no place for Kaepernick. I would look at someone like Matt Moore though as I don’t think Peterman should get another opportunity to fail. He’s already been given way more than he has earned. Bring in Moore as the number 2.

Simple equation:

 

Talent < Baggage = NFW

[SoCal Deek]

Can we call the Raiders and get AJ back? We haven’t used the draft pick yet?

[Mr. WEO]

But think of all those T shirt entrepreneurs....

Add JP Losman, Joe dufek, Bruce Mathison, cap'n checkdown, and the statue, drew Bledsoe, BUT only if he's throwing left-handed.

[C.Biscuit97]

If we cared about putting the best players out there, he would be on our team.  Allen should be delayed playing as long as positive.

 

if only Kaepernick beat a woman!

[DC Tom]

I don't think he can play guard.

Buffalo is not the right place for CK. The man essentially gave up his future in the NFL to stand up for the rights of the less fortunate. What a bad guy. Don’t bring that dirtbag commy in here!! Bring back Richie though. He wears a MAGA hat !!!
