I’m fine with him wanting a shot, and it makes sense for teams to see if he’s got anything that could be helpful in their pursuit of victories.... but why is the NFL setting it up? Because if he doesn't find a team their lawyers can say, "Hey, we literally set up a tryout for the guy. No collusion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That's simply not true. ...sure as hell hope you're sarcastically joking.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best year, 2014, he averaged 210 yds passing per game. Every other year is below 200 yards. Before you tear into me I actually was a big fan of his when he and Harbaugh were with the Niners. I watched many of his games. His play just wasn't that good and then the protests started. His play "got lost" in the controversy that followed.

OZBILLS Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This won't stop until he gets signed again? Surely it just starts up again if he is signed and then cut. It's a no win situation for a team you would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was terrible, what does that make Allen since he has far worse stats? And those 49ers teams were awful. he might not be good enough anymore. But stopping making up that he wasn’t. When he was playing was 3 times the player of Barkley and was better than Allen. Allen is obviously the starter but this team should always be looking to upgrade the roster. 5 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: If Kap is on the Bills roster in any fashion I will take that season of football off and just focus on working OT on Sunday.

Wish there were sub-forums for things like this. Posters are told that if it belongs in sub-forum do not post in main forum even if somewhat related to main forum. Used to work this way on gaming forum so these discussions stayed segmented. Software would scan for keywords and warn user that it potentially belongs elsewhere and if you ignore warning and it is then appropriate punishment would be applied. 13 minutes ago, stony said: It strikes me as the type of PR formulated on Park Ave at 11pm with three fingers of scotch.

People have hot button issues and vote with their wallets and emotions all the time. I'm conflicted about CK and hope it never comes to it, but I'd think hard about emotionally/financially supporting the team if he was QB. My son was stunned when I told him I'd be sorta meh about a SB win for BB if CK was at the helm. On the one hand, painting all law enforcement officials as pigs and whatnot seems to me to he the same as equating all NFL players as OJ, Ray Rice or Incognito. On the other hand, maybe I'd find myself swayed by his approach and demeanor and try and move past what he has said or done and how I feel about it. As for the NFL, you're 100% correct on the billions but I'd think there is more than a passing concern about attendance and social issues. When all is said and done, whether I watch/attend or not, and whether the Bill's win or not is all about perceived value to me. I'd bet they can afford to lose me, but do they want to?

White Linen Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I hate the NFL the way it is now. It used to be something I enjoyed so much. I hate the coverage I hate Kaepernick I hate Goodell I hate how much it costs to go to a game and subsequently how much these players make I hate that situations like Kaep turn otherwise good people on each other over it I hate that an NFL team hoodie is $99 I hate how dangerous the game is I hate how the game is officiated I hate that I want the Bills to win a super bowl so bad I can't stop watching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
