I think it's comical how so many try to keep pushing this PC angle on why Kaepernick isn't on an NFL roster. The bottom line is that if there was an NFL team out there that needed a starting QB that thought he was a starting QB, he'd be signed. Guys have gotten second and third chances in the NFL for doing FAR worse than refusing to stand for the national anthem. Teams don't want distractions as backup QBs whether that distraction is a fault of the player, a fabrication by the media, or a combination of the two. Doesn't matter. No one wants a player who will hopefully never see the field to be a distraction

Carroll was being diplomatic and you can appreciate that.  But signing Davis pretty much negates all his comments about CK.

To have ever thought they could say he was better than Cam makes this whole situation laughable.

I completely agree. He exercised his right as an American. I think he would be great back up. I believe it may be the money he is willing to take as a backup. Remember he was doing his thing in the super bowl before the lights went out.

Teams take into consideration locker room distractions, and the public's attitude towards Kaepernick would be one. If he was definitely starter material, it wouldn't matter. Someone would sign him.

But if it was close, if he was not clear cut starting material,  the distraction would be enough to keep him from being signed. I suspect that is what is happening here.

I know, I know....it is his right.   Got it.

Well it appears that most ALL clubs feel like I do. 

On top of that he stinks as a QB.

They don't feel like you do (thinking he's "un-American") they just think the distraction outweighs the talent. Business decision not a personal one.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
