Football How do you feel about NFL being sued by Kaepernick? - Page 6

cooper barrett · 10-15-2017, 09:58 PM

I am not doing a poll but this could could blowout the Players Union agreements and possibly become the beginning of the end of the NFL as we know it.

What are your thoughts?

And so that you know: For Kaepernick to prove collusion, he would need to show that two or more teams, or the league office and at least one team, conspired in some way to deny him an opportunity to play in the NFL.

I was thinking about voiding of the CBA.

He's still going to have a large burden on his hands to prove even two parties conspired to restrict his access to the league.

Pete Carroll saying that he "is a starter," "we already have a starter," and "he should get signed" sure sounds like putting lipstick on the pig and meaning "well, we'd sign him as a backup but he wants to be a starter with starter money and we're not going to do that although I'm sure someone will."

Exactly

I doubt if any collusion took place. I think it's more a case of all teams pretty much want the same thing in a backup QB and Kaepernick doesn't fit that mold. Matt Cassel is actually a good illustration of why Kaepernick doesn't have a job.

Cassel is pretty much exactly what all 32 teams want in a backup quarterback. It's not about ability necessarily. The most important thing is you know what you have and know he's not gonna cause any problems.

Cassel is all about football. He shows up, works hard, supports his team mates, understands the offense, can be counted on to run the offense the way coaches want it run, draws no media attention, and will never involve himself in any kind of controversy. Cassel understands his role and understands it's about the football team and not him.

The day Kaepernick is signed is the day you invite a Tebow like circus and have 150 new reporters in a press conference asking questions. Most likely they don't go away either. On top of that you never know when Kaepernick decides to get on twitter and start spouting off, or draw attention to himself via kneeling, or maybe something else.

There are questions whether football is a top priority for Kaepernick. Additionally, as a coach I wouldn't say you can necessarily trust Kaepernick to run the offense the way you want it run. He'll freelance and scramble. There's too many unknowns and unknowns are NOT something you want in a backup QB.

If Kaepernick wants to continue playing he should go to the CFL for a year and stay entirely out of the media, then he'll have re-established some trust that football is important to him. If he were to do that, he'd likely get signed

What a drama queen! My disgust with him continues to grow. First of all, he's the one who started all of the bullshit. Now Peter's and a bunch of other sheeple are following his dumbass lead. Most Americans are disgusted by this crap and he is to blame. So I hope that he loses his case, never plays another down in the NFL, and dies penniless someday. He brought every bit of this on himself. He started the drama, then he chose to void his own contract and walk away from $10 million. I don't see how he can claim damages after doing that. I don't care if the 49ers were supposedly going to cut him or not. Would you quit your job because you were about to get fired, then expect to draw unemployment? No. As soon as you quit, you gave up that right. And as soon as krappernick voided his contract, he made it his choice, not theirs. And just because nobody wants to hire a mediocre drama queen quarterback doesn't mean there's collusion. Furthermore, if it is true that he turned down any offers from teams, then his argument is void anyway. So, in true CP fashion, I would like to tell Krappernick to go fist himself, drink antifreeze, and die in a fire.

Either there is some proof or an attorney is just taking his money knowing they cannot win.

That can't be it! Getting benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert is a mark of excellence!

NO, you don't. That's why the loudmouth one who sucks the penis doesn't have a job. Well, that and he sucks.

oh I agree he now has a lot of serious baggage that comes with him. That is a legitimate part to consider.

But, we have people on our team who beat their pregnant girl friend. Committed crimes. These are not Boy Scouts.

Hill never beat his girlfriend on the sideline while the National Anthem was playing.

1. Many people in the real world get 'blacklisted' Everyone in a company knows 'that person' that just sucks and no one wants them around or in their group. The hope is that you make it difficult enough for them to just leave so you don't pay them unemployment.

2. Kaep needs to shut his mouth.

3. So does his girlfriend. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...eet/636586001/

1) This isn't Todd from HR with the bad breath... it's possible collusion within an industry.

2) He has every right voice his beliefs.

3) Ray Lewis s a ****ing murder...and should shut his mouth.

Chiefnj2 · 10-16-2017, 09:18 AM

Which backup job has Kap turned down?

1) Just because nobody wants to hire him doesn't prove collusion. Where is the smoking gun? Also, I guess that Mel Gibson should sue the movie industry. He was pretty much blackballed a few years ago. Where is his lawsuit!

2) He can voice his beliefs on his own time. Not on the sideline where he is employed to play football.

3) Not really relevant to the conversation, so I'm not addressing it.
