Idk the reason Kaepernick isn't signed to a club but I do know that there isn't 32 caliber starting QBs in the league.

Comparing his situation relative to his position to others is unfair.

How is it unfair? It's not like he plays a position where there's several of them on the field at once. You can only play one of them at a time and others besides myself even laid it out team by team for you dudes.

Would you want Kaep starting for your team this year over Watson? Do you think he would be the difference between the Texans winning or losing the Super Bowl? Cause all the other ones he could possibly have a chance at starting on are rebuilding teams where it would be pointless for a 30 year old QB to go to and take away valuable time from a young QB that the teams spent a draft pick on.
 
If you don't believe Kaep is getting blackballed then you're naïve as hell. I'm pretty sure it comes to no surprise to most in here that Buc Em wants a proven racist on his team. Ole boy can cape for him as much as he wants.

This man gets so enraged every time Kaep's name comes up :lol:

- Broncos need to see what they have in Lynch
- Jets need to see what they have in Petty and Hack
- Texans just drafted Watson
- Browns just drafted Kizer
- Glennon is 3 years younger, is 6'7 and in his one year as a starter he showed promise on a team that was a mess so teams see him as somebody with potential
- I may hate Bradford but he had 20 TD's and only 5 INT's with a 99.3 passer rating this past year and the Vikes invested this year's first rounder on him

Care to argue about this anymore?

Hahahahaha, the fact you typed this out and thought it would help your case is scary. You're proving my point.

That game came a week after the game at Miami,i believe. He was so on point in that one.

Lord knows what he was smokin' in Chicago
 
Cutler failed us for nearly a decade. Signing Kaep will help move our franchises future in the right direction makes sense. Why would anyone who is trying to start over sign Kaep?

And what would Mitch learn behind a guy who takes off after one read if the play isn't already a designed run.
 
Cutler really irks me b. Son legit winged it to lucrative NFL career. He had/has all the talent in the world but just didn't care.

Funny thing is Kaepernick has a higher completion %, passing rating, TD/INT ratio, & YPA and has started in more games and more meaning games than Glennon....

But Mitch will learn more from Glennon....

C'mon man do you still not get what im trying to say. Idk how to break it down any further. I don't agree with the money Glennon got but the Bears are trying to start over. Glennon playing in less meaningful games is the whole logic behind a bad team starting over. He's only been in the league a few years seen as a guy who could possibly have upside. There's more value in signing a prospect than signing an aged guy who is proven to be medicore at best. Why not just resign Cutler then who's numbers blow Kaeps out of the water if staying mediocre is what you're going for.

I don't see anyone from these bad teams listed asking for Kaep. I dont see the logic in why they would. This all applies to Cutler too btw so im not surprised at all he didnt get signed either.

And even if Glennon sucks there's more for Mitch to learn from a pocket passer who is prone to the same mistakes. There isnt as much to learn from a guy who's legs are his biggest weapon.

You dont have to agree with the logic, for whatever reason. But at least say you understand what im saying.

I don't what your trying to say. But it's ok. Don't explain.
 
i can't disagree with Jay02, there. Kaep in Chicago makes no sense to me. especially considering Cutler can't even get calls back from teams like the Texans or a deal with the Jets :lol:

that said, Kaep as a backup somewhere might make sense. but sounds like his asking price (allegedly) is starter money. and i do think at the same time there are definitely teams unwilling to consider him given the way he spoke out, which is a shame. but i think there's more than that at play as far as why he is totally unsigned.

yeah certainly most teams wont sign him cause of their ignorant ways but there are teams that cant due to his asking price but there isnt blame either way in that situation...he shouldnt lower his price cause of his social stance..and a team who does want him still has to work within their budget
 
The thing with Kaep is you can't just drop him on any team and have him work.

There aren't many teams where his skill set fits the system.



Carolina(not happening)
Seattle
Buffalo

Those are the only places where I see him working and having a legitimate chance of doing well.

I actually think Seattle would be by far his best landing spot

Do you think Mahomes would be ruined if he was forced into action because of an Alex Smith injury this year or something?

The Seahawks and Bills make the most sense to me as landing spots.

I think Reid would come up with a safe gameplan plus the team having structure..

I think what kills young QBs thrust into action right away, is teams which cause young QBs to be overwhelmed by the situation and their lack of talent.. so their out there fighting uphill battles on multiple fronts without getting that lil moment of calm
