PFT is actively updating the list of teams that will be there, and Florio seems to be Kaep's biggest "fan" , so I'm sure they are basically providing the list of who'll be there for him.

Buftex Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I heard a list of teams that are believed to be sending representation (Cowboys, Lions, Cardinals, and a few others I can't remember), but Buffalo was not one of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Summary Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Assume he wants to be a starter or nothing. How many teams can accommodate that situation? Is he now open to the idea of being a backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I have nothing against Kaepernick, but he looked to be washing out pretty bad the last year or so in the league and has had a lot of time away from the sport.

He was terrible.....setting aside that the fans booed him....he is not much of a football player. I saw it, don't need to read any articles.

Bowing to pressure, the JayZ partnership blowback likely opened their eyes to what the sentiment is for some fans. I'm thinking they figure the calculus is they will lose fans either way, but better to side with the guy who hates law enforcement and compared them to slave patrols than with law enforcement in general.

Nextmanup Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) WGR-550 just mentioned this on a news break at the top of the hour. I think they said something like 13 (?) teams have committed to being there, including New England. The Bills were not mentioned on the list of interested teams.

I'd think they focus grouped it. That, plus they’ve learned about modern viral marketing from Nike. What you do is take an unpopular stance, create a tenuous at best correlation to any issue (i.e. I’m not obeying red stop signs because Himalayan farmers are ridiculed for their funny hats), hype it to death, then wait for the clicks to come rolling in. While the majority reaction may be unfavorable, any news is good news and Nike’s stock proved that merely getting mentions outweighs any blowback. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I find this story pretty hilarious that three years ago the guy looking to become at best a backup journeyman and now he is having a pro day workout with this amount of media attention. The story here is not his athleticism because that was on the downside years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I started buying other brands, and my wife felt the same way and buys gifts for me and our son accordingly. It’s actually a bit hard to find stuff I like from other brands because NIKE owns most retail space, but I put more time and effort into it. Their annoying stance pushed me just hard enough. I wonder what the long term consequences are, after the attention is gone, when I and many others have changed their purchasing habits. Serious question there, not taking a stand. I’m curious.

metzelaars_lives Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Colin Kaepernick is probably better than Matt Barkley and would be an upgrade at backup QB for most teams, if not at starter. This should be obvious. As a staunch liberal and defender of his however, the negative energy in the stands at a home Bills game would not be worth it for me if they were to sign him. It would bring out so much ugliness and infighting amongst Bills fans that it would be depressing to even be there. So I am OK with them not expressing any interest. 19 minutes ago, DCbillsfan said: From a pure football standpoint, he was terrible the last couple of years in the league. That's simply not true.
