I question why NFL even made effort. the Florio train of thought was: he has rights to sue for continued collusion nfl sets up workout that he can’t pass on or he’d look like he’s passing up opportunities at said workout spring a waiver of all future claims on him and if he refuses to sign you act like he’s being crazy and would be a cancer. ill keep saying IF here, but IF they didn’t just give him a standard workout document, I don’t blame CK for backing out 4 minutes ago, Limeaid said: So he waits to an hour before to make them waste money setting up to punish them? the allegation is he didn’t get it til late in the process and the nfl gave him the final refusal of edits today I believe Edited November 16, 2019 by NoSaint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his high opinion of himself, I don't see him taking that and still calling it collusion. I agree with most of you on here though that no one is going to want to sign up for this circus. To me, half of today was to prove he could be a team player and not bring all this extra attention along with him. He failed miserably at that. today never made sense of a football level. Or a player rejoining the league. He could’ve worked out with any or all teams any day for the last 3 years so a sudden all hands on deck workout arranged by the nfl seemed... odd... for a reason. now that it’s coming out that the nfl had settled past missed earnings but not future claims makes it all make a ton more sense.

He is certainly better than a lot of the backups out there. He might even be better than some of the starters out there. Kaeps problem is he has a poor attitude and Im not talking about the kneeling for the anthem stuff. That personally never bothered me. Hes too too much of a distraction. I admit he’s better than Mason Rudolph and others... but he’s not good enough to get past the off field issues. 43 minutes ago, NoSaint said: At this point it seems the nfl was trying to get him to sign off on some bad legal documents to participate in this show that they put together and CK decided to go up the street and host an open event instead.

I’ve thrown the all caps “IF” quite a few times but apparently according to CKs team it’s not. We will see if we ever see it. now that the nfl is on record as it being the same baseline for all workouts and kaps team says it was “unusual” and broader reaching.... well either it’s the same thing he’s signed many times before or it’s not.

Right, so the question is who is lying... the answer to that comes down to whether you think CK is a victim who was standing up for what he believes in, or if CK is a schmuck whose all about attention and self branding. From the unbiased standpoint, it’s hard to imagine a multi-billion dollar company with hundreds of in house lawyers lying in a prepared statement about something like that. Also, is it slightly suspicious that everything was perfectly set up at the other location? Crowd control/security, etc? Pretty quick for that seamless transition, I would think- but it could be nothing. Edited November 16, 2019 by whatdrought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously stop sharing it and saying he’s turning down offers. That’s about as accurate as something someone would get from Faux News. That was when he was first out of SF and looking to start and before he was blackballed. He was a guy who had recently just led his team to a SB and was looking for a starting opportunity still. Yet you people falsely report it like he’s had recent chances and turned them down. Equivalently, you guys need to stop pretending that his last year and a half in the league wasn't an unmitigated disaster, in which he was stripped of all reads beyond 10 yards down the field and has some of the most inept film that pro scouts have available to them, including things like failing to notice that his opponents felt so little of his arm that they'd literally bring the CBs to the defensive line, leaving WRs uncovered with 20 yards of space between them and the nearest defender..and he wouldn't even notice it, much less take advantage of it. Phrasing it as a "recent Super Bowl QB who gets blackballed" is dishonest and laughable. The guy was a clown QB three years ago and hasn't played meaningful football since, and it's delusion to think he could be useful to an NFL team three years later WITHOUT the sh*tshow he brings everywhere he goes.

The whole thing has just turned into a complete circus. It was said there were 8 teams who had reps there. I hope one of them makes a documented offer. After that it's in his hands to accept or not.

Lmao, oh you mean when he had the 2 worst head coaches in the NFL of the last decade? Neither of which lasted more than a year. You mean that period when the 49ers went from one of the most talented rosters in the nfl to worst roster in the NFL in less than 3 years do to off field issues, early retirements, injuries, and FA? Got it. PS: The prerequisite to be a QB in the NFL is not to be a top 5 player. Just because you don’t think he is that great doesn’t mean he isn’t good enough to be on a roster, especially since he’s still better than guys starting now. So your whole point is not only inaccurate but also utterly ridiculous anyway. He absolutely should be on a roster period.

Scott7975 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Personally I don't think the dude wants to play. I think he just wants the media attention and to start more lawsuits. IMO Kaep doesn't deserve jack squat. No one is entitled a job in the NFL. If teams don't want you then they don't want you. If he was a top 10 QB then he might have a legit complaint of something but he wasn't. He wasn't ever. Not even when they went to the Superbowl. Colin was just a mediocre QB that had a hot streak here and there because a team couldn't contain him. He isn't worth the headache. He doesn't take the job serious. All he cares about is politics and to push his self entitlement. No team is going to want that. Edited November 17, 2019 by Scott7975 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 No one ever talks about how much money he is asking for when he has been in talks with Broncos, Seahawks and Ravens before the lawsuit. If he is still asking for his 20mil, or top 15 QB money, who the hell is going to sign him to that? If he was serious about playing he would agree to playing for an average backup QB rate or low tier QB rate in an effort to "prove that he can play." But the fact is, once teams figured him out he was pretty bad. For anyone on here giving Josh Allen crap especially about diagnosing defenses... Rams literally left a WR uncovered knowing he wouldnt check out of the run to him.http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000570028/49ers-Colin-Kaepernick-doesn-t-see-open-receiver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
