RememberTheRockpile Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Quote His small bonus from the league is perhaps a reward for dressing for a grand total of one game in 2018 (he was called in for a kneel-down in Week 6). Now: Quote The troubled quarterback has remained a free agent since then but appears to be making a comeback bid. Took a knee and now out of the league! Coincidence. I think not. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So taking a knee can give, or it can take away. Ask Kaepernick. I think he probably lost a bit more than $354. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly hope the young man gets his act together. Same as I hope for Manziel. But the kid really blew every chance he’s had so far.

I am sorry but this mentality that players have to be nice guys is over rated. I would take an elite WR like Antonio Brown over a guy like foster any day. Talent trumps blue collar nice guys. I agree, being a nice guy isn’t required to be a great football player. The issue with Kelly is the fact that his attitude/personality has caused drama that interferes with his ability to play football. It’s one thing to be a jerk, it’s another to throw away opportunity due to suspensions, being kicked off teams, etc. 3 hours ago, dwight in philly said: Curious.. why the Chad Kelly negativity ? It’s just a natural response most people have when seeing someone throw away every opportunity they are given to redeem themselves. The guy is definitely skilled enough to be on an NFL roster. Very few people are given such a gift. It’s actually quite sad to see a guy throw it all away how he has up to this point.

The Frankish Reich Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Chad Kelly was well on his way to starting a game or two at the end of the Broncos' season. Not because he looked great in preseason/practice. No. Because Case Keenum looked so bad, and because Paxton Lynch found himself completely out of the league. But Chad, you had to do it, didn't you. I really don't think he gets another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i.e, protocol for National Anthem) 2- Even if Kaepernick is within his rights, people have the right to not agree with that protest. So, you also fought for the people I spoke about in #2 above to voice displeasure in those protests.
