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.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
