Year two now: looks like he’s grasping the system in camp so far. I’ve been impressed with his range. Seems like he’s taking control in terms of calls. He’s also going to better job with run fits and angles. Looking forward to seeing his impact in 2019. 

None of the other stuff matters to anybody in that locker room, I can almost guarantee you that. I don’t have any inside info—But are not, very few people do even if they say they do. He’s a good dude at heart, with a lot of complicated concerns. 

 

hopefully this year he looks more like the dude that lined up in San Fran.  Was unrealstic to think he could walk in last year be that dude.

well, this is Jay-Z's take

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jay-z-speaks-on-colin-kaepernick-in-the-wake-of-roc-nations-nfl-deal-871668/

“I think that we forget that Colin’s whole thing was to bring attention to social injustice, correct?” Jay said during the conference. “So in that case, this is a success; this is the next thing. ‘Cause there’s two parts of protesting. You go outside and you protest, and then the company or the individual says, ‘I hear you. What do we do next?’ So for me it was like, action, actionable item, what are we going to do with it? Everyone heard and we hear what you’re saying, and everybody knows I agree with what you’re saying. So what are we going to do? So we should, millions of millions of people, and all we get stuck on [is] Colin not having a job.”

Fair enough but the press conference was a few hours ago. Why not get out ahead of that stuff if you knew it was going to happen.  It still looks like they sold him out. I'm all for it if it brings real change but I mean, come on. Why don't you bring the few people in the game who have actually protested to the table or at least try or at least say you tried.

At the end of the day, money talks. I get where Reid is coming from. Is he right? Time will tell, but the NFL doesn't make this kind of move without considering the angles. To the league, this serves two purposes, short term helps their perceived public image, and long term further isolates Colin Kaepernick. They're just trying to turn people against him.

well I do think there is some truth to the last line of Jay-Z's.  I mean at some point, it can't just be that CK isn't a starting QB so no one should make any moves.  It kinda gets a little self defeating maybe if that becomes the never moving hurdle.

Kap was not a good QB. He was demoted to #2 QB, does anyone really think Kap would have done any of this if he was starting? I like that he took a stand but for the wrong reasons i feel. He could have played another season in Sf but he forced his way out of SF but i dont think he knew it would be hard to find a job because im sure he thought he was still starter QB talent. Hes not. NFL talent not a stater. Reid is sticking up for a friend like he should but one thing is true, you cant let the man become bigger then the message.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
