Representatives from 24 teams expected to appear at Colin Kaepernick’s workout in Atl
 

What will your reaction be if the Chiefs sign him?

I wish someone would sign him and he would wash out, just so I can stop hearing about his dumb ass.

I concur!

I'd be pretty confused if we signed him. Bears should go for it, though.

Who'd be dumb enough to waste a spot on him?

Indy? Denver?

He’s basically a novelty if he still has speed. Someone could bring him in to run some RPO packages to keep defenses on their heels, but he’s not a good pocket passer. Trouble is, that’s where his value is and the distractions the whole team would have just wouldn’t be worth the signing.

The only places he makes sense are

NE for RPO packages
Baltimore as a backup they would be able to keep running their current offense with when/if Wiz kid breaks
Denver tried trading for him a couple years ago and have nothing at QB

Not sure I really see other fits

That sound you hear is the hearts of Bears fans breaking.

What the idiot who wrote this story said:

"The former quarterback's career ended soon after he started taking a knee during the national anthem."

What really happened:

"The former quarterback's career ended soon after he sucked so bad he was benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert."

It's possible kaep may be doing this for publicity and demanding outrageous starter money. But if he's legit trying to land a roster spot, you can't look at teams with guys like Brian hoyer in indy and say with a straight face he wouldn't be a valuable backup somewhere.

And 24 teams will be disappointed.

Chiefs are not interested why can't people just not post stupid ****ing threads that won't have any fuitrition to them?

Don't underestimate John Elway dumb enough.

Horseface should take one for the team. He can blame it on the scotch.

This would be awesome.

Go ahead and give him starter money, John.

And don't forget that he opted out of his contract, as well

Not one team has shown any interest in this guy since ....when? Now all the sudden 24 teams are showing up to a workout all set up by the NFL.....something's fishy.

We'll be able to name 24 teams that don't want to endure the SJW wrath when this is all said and done, basically.

People forget that fact because it rarely gets mentioned. Wonder why?

attention whore

One would think that CBA negotiations are pending.

I anticipate the day that Elway finally has 100 percent dead money on the salary cap with it all going to tall former quarterbacks.

Sounds like the clown show is turning into a media circus.

I hope the scouts/reps that were only going in order to appease the NFL, and the snowflakes, refuse to show up to the second location.

And was the team better or worse for that decision? And did Gabbert perform better or worse than him after replacing him?

Sounds like a logical thing for kaep to ask for. This way everyone can see if he had a good workout or if he sucked. It will stop false narratives from both sides.

Sounds like you already know. By all means, share.

Next week, group sit-ups in Terrell Owens' driveway!!

Gabbert was way worse and the team got worse.

In 11 starts Kaepernick had 2200 yards passing with 14 touchdowns and 6 picks on 59% completion. In his 5 starts Gabbert had 925 yards 5 touchdowns and 6 INTs on 56%. And that doesn't include kaepernicks 500 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns that season.

Whole Kaepernick wasn't that great by any stretch, the problem with the 49ers that year was that they allowed 30+ points in all but 3 of his starts.

Hue Jackson is not going to the new location. He is headed to the airport

Yep ! You have SJW lawyers representing the NFLPA specifically the head man DeMaurice Smith(former Obama guy) stirring the pot on this forcing the NFL's hand to give CK a workout demanding the media be allowed access to show off CK's athleticism(How can he not be signed, look at this kid). So when every team 'still' rejects signing CK, the virtue signal will go out from Smith and his crew to all NFL players who believe in this ginned up ethnic bigotry from the NFL to raise holy hell and stall the negotiations to the point of striking until CK is signed. Also potential lawsuits await every single NFL team that does not participate in this CK tryout.

Then the game of chicken begins again. Who will cave first. And we all know $$ talks. How long will the players go without collecting game checks compared to the NFL losing millions more because of the weakening of the brand turning off a manure load more of former NFL fans(that started with the Anthem kneel) ?

Sign CK or else !!

Get your :popcorn:

I presume he was fired.

Nope he just didn’t want to deal with this circus

Attention-whoring snowflake.

I don't understand any of this.

It’s an NFL PR stunt.

They sprang it on Kaep Tuesday and gave him 2 hours to respond.

No one was even talking about this crap anymore. Weird move by the NFL.

Dude, CK's game never got beyond "the hot read". DC's figured him out pretty quickly that he could not read defenses and make adjustments accordingly let alone audible to the correct play. He never could throw a WR open. Guys like CK are numerous in the NFL that initially get all the hype because of their athletic play but once they have been seen then they must take their game to the next level and many of them have not. Vince Young, Jamarcus Russell, RGII, etc.....And Vick will tell you he didn't become a true NFL QB until he was under Reid. I will definitely say Cam Newton as well. Newton is using an injury to smokescreen the fact that he has lost his confidence and has lost his passion for the game because DCs have caught up to his athletic ability and the same will happen for L Jackson in due time because this is a passing game now. Hence, why we are soooooooooo fortunate that Mahomes craves being a student of the game and that Reid can show him how to stay ahead of the DCs figuring him out ("if there is such a thing";))

CK chose not to be a student of the game and he paid the price in more ways than one in this situation.;)

Sounds like they were trying to get him to sign a liability waiver to participate which included a waiver of any future employment claims.

Wrong.:rolleyes:

Demaurice Smith and his SJW lawyers have been stirring the "bigotry pot" threatening the NFL for quite some time now about giving CK a tryout or else(a la NFL strike and no CBA contract) CK is in shape and can workout on a dime if need be.

Read my post #30.

Anyone suggesting Kaepernick isn't good enough to be a backup is delusional. Indy is an obvious example. And they may miss the playoffs for it. That being said, this all assumes he was actually blackballed vs having unreasonable contract or starting demands, which is entirely possible too.

Actions have consequences.

How many other former players who have been out of the NFL for 3+ years are getting private workouts organized by the league?

Is the NFL doing this for Vince Young, Matt Flynn, etc.?

Maybe he was benched for being an uber **** and locker rom cancer? Would explain why he opted out of his contract at the end of the season.

I've seen folks suggest that Zona may be the team most keen as Kap may be a good mentor for someone like Kylar Murray. Hope the guy throws that thing all over the facility and shows why it's been an absolute farce that he's not played for three years. I mean Nathan freaking Peterman is still in the league for feck sake. Also guys like Chase Daniels, who have done nothing in their career, are STILL making a living in this league too. The guy stood up for justice and I admire that about him. Time to get back in the game now.

Live stream in case any of Kaepernicks many fans here are interested in watching his workout

He opted out because John Lynch told him he was going to be cut. He was hoping to get ahead on free agency.

"Locker room cancer"? You think a locker room dominated by African Americans hated Kap for what he stood for? Didn't he have several team mates join the protest?

He shouldn't have done that.

Look up the definition of "maybe".

Nobody knows why it went down like it did at the end of his playing career. We can certainly speculate, and we could be correct, but only Kap and the Niners can answer that definitively.

This dude wearing a kunta kinte shirt?

**** him

No one is arguing that Kaep doesn't have the physical skill to perform as a backup QB, but backup QB is a unicorn position in sports that's just as much about the mentality as it is the physicality.

Starters can be flamboyant and idiosyncratic because they have the skills to pay the bills. Backups are extensions of the HC. They are there to mentor and collaborate with the starter, and to provide stability for the team when they go through the trauma of the starter going down.

Give me the list of backup QBs who made waves. I'm not talking about making waves by outperforming or outshining the starter when pressed into service. I'm talking about a backup who was a distraction to the squad and a flashpoint with the fanbase while doing nothing on the field.

Colin is full of shit.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJho0ngX...jpg&name=large

Why not? Literally cost him nothing.

OH for God's sake. This shit is bizarre.

In a league with a ton of reinstated criminals that's a load of horseshit.

JFC LMAO

Great look when trying to great your break back into the league, Kap. Go play for the XFL when it fires back up.

Well I put the question mark as I was speculating about why you would speculate that he was a locker room cancer when it seems very unlikely when one considers the make-up of said locker room...no problem sir :thumb:

His teammates voted to give him the teams most prestigious award given to the player that's most inspirational and with the best play so....

LOL and WHO would have guessed that folks would get triggered? ROFL

It's the name of a frikking CHARACTER IN A FILM for God sake!!...lighten up he's just trolling folks.

He's browsing facebook on his phone via live stream

From Reddit/r/nfl so take it for what it's worth:

I know someone that works for the NFL office in NYC. The person works in finance and isn’t related to this Kaep thing but he told me the gossip - so take this with a grain of salt:

This isn’t just a PR move. This is part of the settlement between Kaep and the league, and a goodwill gesture to the NFLPA. As part of the settlement, the NFL agreed to help Kaep find a spot on a team. After the settlement, the NFL called/reached out to every team (I think it was either Troy Vincent or his staff) to gauge interest in Kaep and let teams know that he was 100% cleared to play. All the teams passed at the time.

Kaeps team has been pestering the NFL that just reaching out wasn’t enough. The NFLs position is that ‘the nfl’ doesn’t have the power to simply get Kaep a job - that’s just not how it works. Kaep has also been getting the NFLPA to agitate on his behalf too.

The reason this came to a head is that in mid-Oct, the NFL submitted the first draft of the new CBA to the NFLPA. This whole special tryout came up for two reasons: 1) the NFL and the NFLPA both want to put the Kaep thing to bed, and 2) this was kind of a gesture of goodwill by the NFL to help the negotiations between the two parties. The first back and forth between the NFL and the NFLPA started poorly, so the idea was that this could be sort of a detente.

The idea that a few teams were interested but concerned about the blowback is silly - first, any team can call him any time of day, and second if you think that a tryout will generate blowback with your fan base, just wait until you sign him.

And FWIW, the consensus within the NFL is that it’s unlikely he’d get signed for several reasons.

Yeah, maybe Murray can become a locker room cancer and SJW correct ? We know CK won't teach him the game because CK hasn't learned the QB position himself.

No, CK made his own bed politically with the NFL and the NFL fanbase while lining his back pocket only to go potentially come back for even more $$ and making an ass out of himself even more.

Yeah, only an NFL career. But, there are no shortage of SJW companies out there willing to throw money at him for endorsements. Better way to make a living than having 240 pound linebackers running 4.5's smash into him, obviously.

Dudes starting to look like the mom on Black-ish with a beard.

Schizophrenic. . . so we're supposed to be alarmingly concerned that he doesn't have an NFL position, but not concerned at all that he treats the opportunity as a troll job?

Tell all us MOAR how to feel about everything!! We love it. . . .

This is strange as ****

he is playing catch with guys standing in place

nothing about this is NFL it's like backyard football

Absolutely. Pretty cool for him to wear the name of a slave (fictional or no) to an NFL tryout. Especially considering his past. Triggered. Trolling. Sensible laugh. You nailed it.

This isn't how I would go about a job interview.

I think there's some twigs and bark in that bird's nest.

Reinstated criminals who don't go after the NFL for $$millions and are successful doing it and then attempt to keep going back for more $$ are always welcome back.:p

Big difference hoss !!

That's your eDave privilege talking.

I find it interesting that the latest trendy word amongst some folks is "SJW".. as if the meaning/intentions behind the word "justice" is somehow "dirty" and not good. It's crazy to me but I guess folks who may live on the privileged side of the tracks can afford to spout that term so loosely.

Which is a huge tell that he knows he is not getting signed just another form of "kneeling/flipping the bird" to the NFL.;)

Right, because that's why he was blackballed for years before the lawsuit. Because of the lawsuit that didn't yet exist.

Why would the name of a fictional slave be offensive to folks? Please enlighten me.

do you actually want the matter explained? Or do you just want to wallow in your ill-informed assessment?

[hint/sneak preview, it's not about hating 'justice'].

he's trying to connect his "plight" to that of an oppressed slave

it's nonsense

STFU you stupid contrarian idiot. You politic this shit up and I'll cut you.

The word "justice" doesn't need a qualifier in front of it. Doing that just lessens the word itself. This isn't hard to understand.

I don't think I or anyone could.

Well if Kap never learned how to be a QB, what does that say about the majority of the passers in the league today that HAVE NOT been to the SB? :LOL:
