You are reading way too much into it and applying your own personal bias to it.


Are you AJ McCarron's mom?

Happy he is charitable but when he finally starts acting like the leader of a team and presenting himself as such I might change my mind on him.

that backwards hat and speaking yo yo last week pushed him over the edge for me.

so guess what, YOU get over it.

My apologies.

He does look like a thug, but what matters most is who he is, not what he looks like.

Not arguing with any of that. What always bothered me with him was presnap reads, touch, and accuracy. This are still huge issues for him.

And to the missing Crabtree thing. That's a given. Every qb has their security blanket. Alex Smith missed his this year too. That's why the chiefs need to find him a dominant te. Ebron or jace would be nice.

I'm having a hard time finding anything besides that in the reasons you're giving.

He's mulatto. Not black.

Smith is either worse than Croyle or better than Montana in his prime. I can't decide. :hmmm:

Kerry Collins looked and dressed the part of a starting NFL quarterback, and was a womanizing drunk early in his career. Or how about Roethlisberger? He looks like a stand up respectable white boy quarterback, as well. Would you place more respect on one of those guys because they look the part and don't say "yo" in interviews?



The funny thing is, Kaepernick is about as genuine as it gets, he doesn't give a **** about what people think of him. I don't have an issue with how he dresses, when people talk about how "classy" Wilson is, that's just code word for "he acts and talks like a white guy and we can deal with a black QB who is that way."



The firestorm about what Kaepernick wore to the press conference after the Panthers game? I was reading this week, he wore those clothes after having them sent to him by a 13 year old fashion designer. He basically made that kid's year by showing up in a nationally televised event wearing his gear. I actually thought that was pretty cool.

"Jeremiah didn't hear back from Kaepernick and had no idea whether the quarterback had received the package. That made this weekend all the more satisfying for Jeremiah and his family. In the aftermath of Kaepernick wearing his vest Jeremiah says he received more than 200 text messages along with numerous pats on the back in the hallways of school. "

I have no issue with him being himself rather than another PR-manipulated stiff up there. By all accounts, Luck, Wilson, Kaepernick, Newton, all these young QB's are good guys, good locker room guys, good leaders in their own right. You don't hear about them getting into any sort of trouble or having clashes with their coaches or teammates. They are all hard workers and the future of the NFL at the QB position along with Bridgewater and some of the others coming out in the near future such as Winston, Hundley...etc.

Wow. What a thug. He obviously robbed that boy of those clothes at gun point.

You know.. Because he has tattoos.

It is true though, when people talk about wanting their QB to act like some others, to not have tattoo's, etc, what they are saying is "I want my QB to be white, or at least to act white." That is basically what it comes down to, whether they intend it that way or not.

Besides the kicker and punter, it's one of the last traditional white positions, so anytime someone acts different and upsets the status quo, people get irritated by it.


God forbid you have a QB that is an individual and isn't a cardboard cutout of all the rest. It's the same attitude as with McCarron's mom mocking Jameis Winston after the BCS Championship Game.


QB's are supposed to be white and if they aren't, they are supposed to act white, talk white and look as white as possible. They need to be clean cut, if they have actual personalities, they need to push them down below the surface, they need to suck up to the media and be good soldiers all the time.

When they don't fit into a narrow, preconceived notion of what a QB is supposed to look or act like, people lose their damn minds.

He doesn't look like a thug, he looks like a clown. He dresses like a 12 year old trying too hard.

Mav 01-18-2014 07:36 PM

No. People dislike kap because he is a pompous ass clown who kisses his biceps and mocks other players. Oh and in the off-season he supports other nfl teams gear and acts like a tool on Twitter when called or for it. And lastly he is just not that good.

Brock 01-18-2014 07:45 PM

Those people are really going to hate seeing him in the super bowl AGAIN.

He's won 3 or 4 games on the road in the playoffs, if that isn't good, then I don't know what is. Every now and then a game manager type like a Dilfer or a Brad Johnson makes it into the Superbowl because their team catches fire and wins in spite of them. Nobody does that twice, he's a guy who has carried that team in the playoffs, two years in a row now. People may not like him, nobody doubts his talent though. If he does well against Seattle, not sure how people can argue against him.
