I’m not sure whether you’re talking about the dividend or the divisor? From his conduct, I would guess an IQ of 4, but to get into St. Joe’s I guess they require an IQ above 85. CHS ‘77 .

Actually Kaep got paid an enormous sum of money and didn't even have to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the amount is unknown, and I suspect it’s less than 10 years of holding a clipboard. But whatever, I wasn’t being totally serious anyway..... .

Actually given his last few years playing wise he made much more in endorsements than he would have on his next contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

klos63 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 3 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: He also took the time to speak to hundreds on kids at Jim's camp about the importance of making good choices and working hard. He did so by publically explaining what an idiot he has been. So yes, he has made mistakes, like all of us, buy not many of us have to humble ourselves the way he did. The backlash is about people being upset they never had the talent to get there in the first place. Cast the first stone if you've never done stupid things, I know I can't throw one. Hey, someone asked a question , I answered it. I'm not throwing stones. Just pointing out why he's probably getting grief. And though I can't throw stones, I've never been arrested or threatened to shoot up a bar... which is no laughing matter these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

What you are forgetting are two things. 1- At the workplace, an employer can definitely tell you what and what not to do. (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.
