View Full Version : Chiefs LNBS: A controversial one. Should The Chiefs sign Kaepernick?

Feel free to get the personal insults out of the way, call me a SJW, etc but please hear me out.

The Chiefs keep Henne as the backup and sign Kap to compete for the 3rd string position with the promise he could possibly compete with Henne for the #2 if he does well.

Reid is the QB whisperer. He signed Matt Moore and made a guy who was a year away from the game coaching high school football into arguably a bottom 20-32 QB.

The Chiefs have the best locker room atmosphere in the league. My biggest fear about running it back is the team being complacent.

I have no doubt signing Kap would cause controversy but could also make the team rally around eachother and succeed for Kap. The complacency thing would almost become a non issue.

It’s not even about public opinion. It’s about the constant media shitshow that’s going to follow wherever he signs. We don’t need that kind of drama for a backup qb. It’s no different than Tebow.

The Chiefs have all the political capital in the world.

Reid is the most respected coach in the league. Hes already done something similar with Vick.

There would be no QB controversy. Mahomes is the best QB in the league.

Mahomes is also the most respected player in the league. Mathieu is also well respected. What they say goes.

Clark is well respected amongst the league. If he signs off with everything stated above wheres the beef?

If someone does sign him...they better not have a white starting QB. After one bad game...the team will be labeled racist by cancel culture for not starting him. Especially if the coach/owner is white...then Bears or Jaguars will be symbolic animals of black oppression. They will demand they be removed from zoos...if you are wearing a Bears jersey...you are now a racist. People will be pulled from cars with a Bears sticker and beaten.

We literally won two games this year and almost beat Aaron Rodgers with a guy who was out of the league and coaching high school football. If anyone would do a good job with him it'd be Reid.

I doubt Kap would want to come here though because there is zero hope of playing unless Mahomes gets hurt. This is about the worst place he could come if he ever wanted a serious shot at playing time.

Kaepernick had the chance to be the king of the AAF or whatever it was called and probably would have made more money as the best and most popular QB in that league over being an NFL backup. He priced himself out of the market, and thus he failed.

Hell, it could have been a rousing success. The AAF might still be around today if he had signed on. They needed something to generate buzz, for sure.

There's ZERO upside to this, and plenty of downside. Huge risk, no reward.

Kaepernick's off-the-field shit has made some people forget just how bad he was on the field. Which is what I believe was exactly the point of all his "activism" all along. Somebody in a board room set it all up. And he ain't gonna be a better player now at 32 after being out of the league for 4 or 5 years.

Here are some honest thoughts:
1. From a personal perspective, I'd be happy and really proud of the Chiefs if they were the ones who signed Kaepernick.
2. From the standpoint of a Chiefs fan who would like to see them trounce the league for years to come, there is absolutely significantly more downside than upside in the signing. I think Kap would be a true professional if he joined the Chiefs, but the media coverage of him would completely overrun what should instead be the drool-fest over Mahomes and our defending Super Bowl season. That alone would be disappointing.
3. I think there are a lot of fan bases who might be more welcome to a Kaepernick signing. As we know from our experience here, Chiefs fans would probably be near the bottom quartile in accepting that.
4. I laugh at the idea that Reid is gonna coach him up and then we'll flip him for a third (unless it's to the Texans, and because Bill O'Brien). First, he's not going to have ample ability to showcase his talents as a #3 QB. Second, is there really a team out there now that isn't signing Kaepernick who's going to then trade draft capital for him in 2 months because he beat up on some Arizona Cardinal 3rd stringers?
5. The season's occurring is at best a coin flip. If you sign him and then the season is canceled, you've ruffled the feathers of your fan base for no great reason other than arguably supporting a worthy cause. That's nice and all, and as I said, I'd be proud of Clark Hunt if he went in that direction. But it makes little business sense for him and as Chiefs fans we absolutely shouldn't be happy if they signed him.
6. If we didn't kick the tires hard on Kaepernick last year when Henne went down and we had to sign Matt Moore from a HS coaching job, I don't think it's happening this year.

06-27-2020, 06:17 AM
The only reason Kaepernick is even being discussed in 2020 is because of WHO he is, and not WHAT he’s done on the football field. Because objectively, the last time he played he wasn’t all that good... In 2016.

Simply because Reid signed Vick and somewhat resurrected his career, doesn’t (or shouldn’t) have any bearing on this decision. The Kansas City Chiefs do not need him. Demonstrably we have the best QB in the league, and are World Champions.

Signing Kaepernick is a regressive move.

chiefzilla1501
06-27-2020, 06:17 AM
No. Don't get me wrong, it's nuts that he isn't a backup somewhere. I don't think Kaepernick would ever settle for a backup contract nor would I want to overpay for that given our cap. He wants to be an overpaid starter somewhere. Which Id bet is the main reason he hasn't signed somewhere.

RealSNR
06-27-2020, 10:13 AM
Was Kaepernick even good in the first place?

I mean it. His downfall occurred when Greg Roman left. Roman is known for developing some occasionally brilliant run schemes for his athletic QBs to make plays in, but do we know if those guys can operate systems that require the focus of spacing and direction through passing? It's why I'm still kind of skeptical of Lamar Jackson, in a way. If Greg Roman leaves, is Lamar going to regress? Is he going to completely collapse if an OC gets in there who says, "Lamar, time to play big boy football. You can still use your mobility, but enough of this scrambling and read option shit."

Kaepernick was running a lot of the same shit in college, and what he showed as a passer at Nevada was greatly assisted by the simplicity and wide open concept design from Ault. Yes, there are Ault's roots in the West Coast variant Andy runs today, but if you don't have accuracy in the short to mid game, don't even fucking bother.

Reid is a QB whisperer, but part of being a QB whisperer is knowing when to walk away and who to whisper to in the first place. He did that with Feeley and Garcia and Kolb in Philly, but he PICKED those guys.

It'd be dumb for us to say, "Andy, you're coaching Colin Kaepernick. Do that QB whisperer thing you do so we can boost our woke optics and maybe even trade him away because everything you touch turns to gold!" Not even the best chefs in the world can make a feast out of terrible fucking ingredients.

I like the idea of having a backup QB with some of Mahomes’ movement skills, rather than a pocket statue like Moore or Henne.

I think Ta’amu is that guy. Or can be.

If they didn’t have him and Kaepernick would come cheap, I could see it.

If Mahomes suffered a longer-term injury and needed to sit, I think they’re better with a QB who can move a little bit. Kaepernick would fit ... on a backup salary, if he’d take, and if they still needed a “mobile” guy in a backup slot.

O.city
06-27-2020, 11:58 AM
I think paying a backup qb much is dumb anyway. If you need him to win a game or two like Moore did that’s great and that’s why you pay andy Reid what you do.

Like Tom Moore once said when asked why manning takes all the first team reps “if he gets hurt we’re fucked and we don’t practice fucked”

Kaepernick's off-the-field shit has made some people forget just how bad he was on the field. Which is what I believe was exactly the point of all his "activism" all along. Somebody in a board room set it all up. And he ain't gonna be a better player now at 32 after being out of the league for 4 or 5 years.

I'm actually in agreement here, except I don't think it was a guy in a board room, I think it was Kaep himself. He knew he was sucking and knew he had reached the pinnacle of his potential. He was a 2 season wunkerkind. Once Alex left, he was screwed. He had a future that looked bleak, forever a backup, etc. In a league where there were a lot of successful black QB's, he could not claim racism just for the sake of racism, so...he made a spectacle of himself, got a bunch of SJW's to champion his cause, and held on to fame that way. It's been 6 seasons since he started all 16 games, and has been out of football for 4...nobody plays football after that long of an absence. His "workouts" that he held last year were a publicity stunt, just a way to keep him relevant while he knew nobody was going to sign him and he didn't want to play football anyway.

Long way of saying no, I would not sign Kaepernick. He was not good at football his last season, and he's been out of the game for 5 years. Might as well sign Tebow for all the good it would do from a football perspective.

I like the idea of having a backup QB with some of Mahomes’ movement skills, rather than a pocket statue like Moore or Henne.

I think Ta’amu is that guy. Or can be.

If they didn’t have him and Kaepernick would come cheap, I could see it.

If Mahomes suffered a longer-term injury and needed to sit, I think they’re better with a QB who can move a little bit. Kaepernick would fit ... on a backup salary, if he’d take, and if they still needed a “mobile” guy in a backup slot.
2013 was a long ass time ago brutha...

We got Mahomes and a SB title we don’t need a circus in town.

I'm going to answer this without evoking any of the political aspects associated with CK....just pure football thoughts:

From the Chiefs perspective: The guy hasn't played in several years, and when he did play last, it wasn't all that stellar. Sure, he caught fire in a season, but remember all the Mahomes articles after his first year starting about how he will regress because coordinators have tape on him. Well, that didn't work out that way for Mahomes, but it sure as heck did for CK.....The league figured him out pretty quickly, and now he has 3 - 4 years of rust on him to boot. Let's be real, the guy peaked during his Super Bowl run, and it's been downhill from there.

Then I ask: Is CK better than Henne? As an athlete, absolutely, but I'm not sure that he'd be better as a quarterback (more on this below). Would he be the best 3rd option QB....skill set wise, probably, but the 3rd QB role is generally for grooming a young guy, not a veteran body, so even then, we'd be wasting a spot since we're not likely to even carry a 3rd QB. So, if CK is rusty, the league has kind of figured him out, and he's carrying 4 years of rust, and likely wouldn't be a better option than Henne, what would be the benefit of bringing him on.

And then the next question would be: Why would CK want to come to KC? He obviously has no shot at starting, and we have a veteran backup (albeit nobody we'd be writing home about) that could probably keep us competitive if Pat goes down. Why would that situation make sense for CK....at best, he's battling for 2nd chair, and very likely loses that battle to the vet going in on three years in Andy's system. I could think of a few teams right off the bat that CK could do no worse than 2nd QB without the battle, with a potential for some actual playing time. If I dug into that more, maybe 1/2 the league might present better options for at least QB2 without duking it out, and 1/4 some type of viable option to start some games. And we haven't even mentioned salary cap yet....

So, if I keep the political aspect out of it, I don't see any pure football reason to do even batter an eye at CK....not just from the Chiefs perspective, but CKs as well.....

I feel like a simple No should suffice, but since the OP seems to believe that Kaep hasn't gotten a job because the NFL is racist, I think the more appropriate response is Fuck Off.

He got benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert, hasn’t played in 4 years and he have Mahomes. Unless he’s somehow converted into a run stuffing middle linebacker during his time off, there’s no need for him on this team.

As a Bronco fan? Sure, KC should sign Kap. He's a shitty QB that will make your team weaker. Go for it.

I try to be consistent in my belief that I shouldn't care what a player does off the field as long as it doesn't impact his ability to be on the field at kickoff. So yeah, if he could help the team I wouldn't hesitate to sign him.

I guess my one caveat is that 'helping the team' in my mind means that he can contribute on the field and he's not a problem in the locker room.
