Not kneal for the anthem.

to stand for the ****ty USA#1 song
to stfu about his beliefs
etc

Lolnflpa is always the correct answer

So that means he won't be a distraction? Players won't constantly be asked questions about him? ESPN won't start "should Kaep start" conversations the moment the starter struggles?

It's not like Tim Tebow was praying on the sidelines.

lol

it's not at all difficult for teams to make this a non-issue


Tebow's problem was that he couldn't throw a ****ing football

as if the NFL owners would riot if he wanted to be Ned Flanders

Hence Marrone's proclamation that he doesn't want to pass the ball at all.

Plenty of players have paid their respects to their Christian God in some way or another throughout the history of American sports. Athletes have made signs of the cross gestures with their hands, pointed to the sky after big plays, and many give credit to their Christian God post victory. Tebow's kneeling wasn't a distraction to the team. Him being a sub par quarterback hyped up by his college accolades made him a distraction when he wasn't your teams number one QB. He was sort of a mythical super hero which the media obviously ate up to the public and this caused pressure having him as a backup on your team, not his religion.

Kaepernick on the other hand is taking a stance against the US and it's government's treatment on minorities and calling them out. There are many military veterans and their families that are avid viewers of the NFL that take offense on Kaepernick's action regardless on whether or not what he is doing is right. It is completely different than the Tebow situation but in a similar way Kaepernick is mainly not worth it because he is no longer viewed as a number one quarterback option.

Mike Vick ticked off many Americans with the dog fighting, probably just as much if not more than Kaepernick but his talent was viewed as having number one quarterback potential so he was given a second chance.

Guys like Manziel, RG3, Kaepernick, Tebow, etc just aren't worth it because teams don't view them as number one potential anymore. They'd rather just sign a player on a lower salary that will happily take the backup, journeyman, or young developing QB role and avoid the hassle of any unnecessary distraction.

Please do not assume military members take offense at Kaeps actions. He is an American citizen utilizing his 1st amendment right and myself along with my fellow Marines will die to protect that. Any military member who says otherwise needs to check themselves and get off the "Thank you for my service" bandwagon. Freedom of speech doesn't mean everyone needs to agree with everything American, that's some fascist bull****.

Bortles Facts:

Number of ints thrown in 2017/18 regular season AND playoffs: 0

GOAT

You know RG3 is terrible, right? He shouldn't be in the league singularly because he sucks.

Kaep is way better

Can't wait for everything nfl related to all end up being about Kap or whether they are better than kap or their thoughts on Kap.

The guy is better than most backups yes. But he's still a backup at best so who cares. So much aids. Month to go til we can finally get some much needed games back.

He's a starter at best.

The Jets would be a better team with him at QB.

i think the most likely explanation for kaep not having a team is that all current nfl GMs have watched him play american football at the quarterback position

Bortles facts confirmed GOAT twitter acct

Jets are actively trying to tank.

Yeah, this is a problem for Kaep too.

That's fine, but saying he's a backup "at best" is false.

Losing focus literally the first 5 snaps you take in your career probably isnt the best sign. Lol Bears.

Kaepernick is obviously a top 32 QB and hes possibly top 20. He was decent last year without a single nfl caliber wr or te. And a horrid o line.

Hed be an upgrade at QB for:
Bears
Browns
Broncos
Texans
Jaguars
Rams
Vikings
Jets
49ers
Dolphins

Lol nfl and dumbass racist owners and fans

man how quickly people forget

Its not so much that Kaep is good (hes not) its that at any given time there are like 10 historically awful QBs starting and hes better

eh, he wouldn't upgrade the vikings. I'd rather give watson a shot on the texans, and dolphins is arguable.

Blaine Gabbert has a job, he's better than Gabbert.

There.

as noted, "distraction" is such bull****...

and what happened with the Ravens absolutely confirms he's being blackballed. maybe Pete and the Harbaughs went as far as they could go in the futile hope that the NFL "media" would finally say something. Then again when the NFL lets $15M in free funding go unspent... they're not even pretending that they're not saying **** you to everyone involved, and everyone just falls in line.

there needs to be a multi-year strike

Kap confirmed not top 32 QB
