Kaepernick sucks, who knew?
 

Warren Sapp, who played for the Raiders for the final four seasons of his Hall of Fame career, was asked in an interview with Vlad TV this week if he believes Kaepernick will play in the NFL again. He responded with an emphatic “no” and said he was told Kaepernick’s workout with the Raiders was a “disaster.”

“I heard it was a disaster. I heard it was one of the worst workouts ever,” Sapp said. “I’m wondering how the hell this happened and the tape didn’t get out. Somebody wasn’t (recording a video) over the fence or something? Come on, man. We live in a world now where you put a drone up and nobody’s gonna stop you.”

Kaepernick is 34 and has not played in the NFL since 2016. Even when he did play, his strength was his mobility and athleticism. He was never a great passer, which is why many are skeptical that he could take that much time off and expect to be effective.

There were supposedly two things that impressed the Raiders during Kaepernick’s workout. They were not blown away enough to offer him an invitation to camp, however. Maybe Sapp knows something most of us don’t.

Go figure....

Unless you’re a kicker, I would imagine that it’s damn near impossible to be out of the league for 6 years and still be able to compete with professional athletes.

Me. I knew.

Elway didn't sign him. There was still a chance :shrug:

Edit: You know it's not just Elway. You got 5head lurking around like a goblin in heat too

Still might be worth a look if you’re stuck rolling Carr out there.

He sucks. He was a one year guy and nothing more. Benched for Blaine, end of story.

CK can wear his pig cop socks and go **** himself :thumb: I will never buy anything NIKE makes.

Why are you bundle of stickss so obsessed with him lol

4 the same reason you submitted a reply. lol

To make fun of you losers?

Everyone knew-Except Kap.

He was on a massive decline when he played. Then pulled that stunt when he lost his job to a short white who was jettisoned from jaxonville.

Sapp is right about the video. If it was good then it would be out. Obviously its shit so it's not.

The following players are listed by Pro Football Reference as having a similar "quality and shape of career" after 6 years:

Let's remove from comparison players from different eras: Charlie Johnson, Brian Sipe, John Hadl, Terry Bradshaw, Don Meredith, Doug Williams, and Tommy Kramer. If anyone thinks all of these players should be considered as comparisons to Kaepernick, let me know.

That leaves:
Marcus Mariotta, similar after 6, has played for 7 and is under contract for year 8 in 2022.
Carson Wentz, similar after 6, while he is not a star, no one thinks he should not be under contract for his 7th year.
Blake Bortles, similar after 6, but was under contract for 8.He could still be under contract for his 9th year in 2022.

Now let's expand to QBs with similar "quality and shape" for their entire careers. To Mariota, Wentz and Bortles we will now add Jay Fiedler (9 year career), Scott Mitchell (11 year career), Jameis Winston (7+ year career), David Carr(11 year career), Stan Humphries (9 year career), Elvis Grbac (8 year career), and Kyle Orton (10 year career).

It's absolutely clear that Kaepernick's performance was strong enough during his first 6 years to warrant being under contract during his 7th year. His case for being excluded from playing in the NFL in years since as a direct result of his decision to speak up against racial injustice is undisputable. It's your privilege to believe differently.

Kap was Tyler palko.

He’d be playing if he didn’t suck.

I thought he refused backup duty

Which team?

He was under contract for a 7th Season, but he opted out to become a free agent. SF was the best fit going for him and he walked away. Horrible decision.

He's a dumb ass.

In hindsight, it wasn't a great decision. But, it's not as clear cut as you present. Here's a quote from the article you posted:

"Looking ahead, if the Buffalo Bills ultimately decide to exercise the option in Tyrod Taylor's contract, Kaepernick could emerge as the most coveted quarterback available this offseason. He may not be a legitimate long-term answer, but he could be a solid short-term solution.

"The New York Jets, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams are just a handful of teams that could look to upgrade at the position before the 2017 season. "

It's tough to argue that any other player evaluated as a top talent at the most important position wouldn't get an offer. Even with his "regression" he was still in the middle of NFL QBs in 2016 in terms of performance.

Bears drafted Mitchell Trubisky
Houston drafted Watson
Jets went with Josh McCown
Broncos went with Trevor Siemian
Rams had Goff
Bills had Tyrod Taylor

So lets be honest here, he should have never opted out. But I agree, that it's nuts that the Jets, Bills, or Broncos didn't go with a guy like Kaeepernick. Still if he is your starting QB you you have to adapt your offense to his skill set which I understand why that would not be popular.

You gotta be kidding me. Telling me a douche with 7 years of no play time sucks? **** him.

Your trying to compare apples to orang er I mean dog turds

Kaep refused two contract offers to be a backup. That's a fact that people with your opinion either don't know, or don't care to include in their narratives.

Kaep's reasoning? He was a starter, not a backup and wouldn't take the snub of the backup contract offer.

Also, Kaep VOIDED his contract with the 49ers thinking he would be able to get a better deal as a starter elsewhere.

Do you know the key on all the comparable QBs you listed who had longer careers? Once they clearly established that they weren't starting material, they all had several years as backups. Something your boy Kaep refused to do.

Ravens and Broncos.

Whoa...so you mean it wasn't racism and he just sucks? Who could've possibly predicted this a few thousand times? :shrug:

Slight modification for Kap...

It is better to refrain from tryouts and be assumed a shitty QB than to participate and confirm it.

How'd that work out for him? About as good as his recent workouts.

If Krappydick was a true starter and sitting there for the taking, there would have been teams to grab him.

Teams want to WIN.

First, those guys don't **** where they eat.

Second, he elected to become a free agent and he wanted a starting job and a starter's salary or he probably would have ended up in Denver.

It seems his ego didn't allow him to accept salary commensurate to his talent and play, and he wasn't willing to fight for a starting job. He made his bed.

This nonsense that, at age 34, a guy who wasn't very good in the first place and whose game relied entirely on mobility would be good in the league after a 6 year absence is silly.

remember, he first started kneeling to protest getting benched

The league knows this. Even his head coach knew he wasn't a starting QB in the league.

Kaepernick's reputation rests almost entirely on a stretch of play that took place in about a 12 month period, which was nearly 10 years ago.

Elways actually did offer Kaepernick a contract.


1) Kaepernick voided his own contract with SF.
2) Kaepernick turned down AT LEAST 1 offer after he quit his job in SF…Elway offered him a contract that he turned down and Seattle and Baltimore had him in for visits.
3) The NFL set up a “Kaepernick combine” and publicized it in every way possible. All TV outlets were there. Lots of teams were there. HE DIDNT SHOW UP. Instead, he tried to change the venue at the last minute and everyone basically told him to go **** himself. Obviously, he knew he didn’t want his shortcomings to be on film and live tv for everyone to see.
4) The Raiders had him for a workout that is reported he still looked terrible.

Let’s try to look at the facts versus the feelings here.

If teams thought Kaepernick had a chance to lead their teams to victories, they would have lined up to outbid each other for his services. They all know he sucks.

If he wanted to actually play again and not just be a “look at me, BLM” guy then he would be running RPO for someone by now, trying to earn a bigger role. Hell, if he was ok being a backup/sub package guy I could even see a guy like Andy bringing him in to play that role to keep Pat from getting hit in those circumstances, in an attempt to build value towards a trade…but the TRUTH is Colin never was a good passer. He was a “if option a isn’t open, “run with it and never scan the field and go through progressions to find the open man”…once opposing defenses caught up to him, he was donezo.
