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? I'm guessing that it may be part of the settlement of the grievance/ lawsuit that was filed. The fact that the NFL is not openly discussing what prompted this, leads me to believe this.

I’m wearing one of unknown cost! Weird there!) I know the game has always been dangerous, but less so since the QB’s now wear skirts I know the refs have always sucked, we just have more camera angles to prove it I love that the Bills will win a Super Bowl soon, for me and you! I kid (mostly), but that was fun! ? My wife has a new thing, a positive twist exercise. I don’t “have to” take my mother to the store or the doctor, etc. I “get to” take my 92 year old mother. As my son said after our last dog died, “I wish I had played with her more”. So much in life is about attitude. I am a work in progress. .

It's a very profitable business and aside from player discipline, has done more good than bad I hate how much it costs to go to a game and subsequently how much these players make Then don't go? Also, they are the product you pay to see, they should get their cut I hate that situations like Kaep turn otherwise good people on each other over it Are you aware of America's political climate? Half the country hates the other half I hate that an NFL team hoodie is $99 Go to Wal-Mart I hate how dangerous the game is It's a game where grown man tackle each other. What were you expecting when you first started watching? It's only gotten safer I hate how the game is officiated You try it. Plays happen over the course of seconds and you need to watch a variety of things at once. I just wish they've fix mistakes more I hate that I want the Bills to win a super bowl so bad I can't stop watching Many of our lives would be a lot less stressful if this were the case 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 At the time of the Kap debacle, he was easily the Stsrting QB equivalent on a dozen teams. Does he still have the talent to be a Backup on crap teams like the Bungles, Jets, Broncos, Skins, Bears, etc after 3 years of rust? Possibly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 12 hours ago, Limeaid said: 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. Or something agreed to by league as part of closed settlement. Anyone can create a club for whatever they like. It's an under-used feature of the board. In this case though, the shots were initially a reaction to a post and it kinda snowballed from there. The software scan sounds neat but maybe not the kind of feature included in the package we have.

2003Contenders Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Without getting into the politics of the matter, it is pretty clear to me that the bigger issue is that Kaep is more interested in promoting his agenda than he is playing football. I doubt that the agenda itself is what is keeping him out of the league, as there are a number of players around the league in every locker room who probably share his views. The difference is that these players are not letting this agenda get in the way of their on-field play. For NFL coaches and executives, talent trumps personality, politics, etc. If Kaepernick was really still a capable (and committed) QB, he would be on an NFL roster. I am not sure if he realized his own skills were declining (he was a non-noteworthy backup QB in SF when all of this started) -- or if he no longer had the heart for doing what it takes year-round to be an NFL player. Yes, he is probably still better than many current backup QBs in the league -- but NFL teams realize the risk involved in bringing in a guy who is a fringe player at best these days. Kaepernick has already shown that he is unwilling to serve in that fringe-player capacity. Recall a couple of years ago when the Ravens were serious about bringing him for a look -- and then Kaep and his SJW girlfriend posted some mean-spirited memes about Ray Lewis, KNOWING this would kill that opportunity. The situation reminds me of a jerk I knew in high school, whose girlfriend broke up with him because of his behavior. He begged her to take him back, and when she did suddenly HE decided that they should break up. And even this workout is likely designed more to get his name in the news and bang the drum about how the NFL has "blacklisted" him rather than genuinely trying to earn a roster spot on a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous what has transpired with this issue... True considering some of the backups are of very marginal NFL talent. Not true if if you want to avoid distractions, which every team in the league has the right to do. I have no no issue with any team signing him, except for Buffalo. I don’t think he would fit in. We are invested in Allen and Barkley is a decent backup. Now if Peterman were still around I would want to look at Kaepernick.

Samwell Tarly Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 What about the Chargers? 1. Rivers is about ready to retire. 2. He could use the rest of the season to get reacclimated, hit the ground running for next year. 3. LA would be a pretty favorable landing spot for him, compared to other sites. 4. There's some workable talent on the team already. 5. If he can't outcompete Tyrod Taylor it's all a moot point anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
