So I think 2019 Kaep would be good for both sides, which is the territory where deals can be made. 

If Kaep came in and outplayed QB1 and was awarded the starting position....would you still like the idea?

tbh, last thing this team needs right now is the Colin kaepernick circus

 

in a vacuum without controversy and attention, sure makes sense. 

 

but it would be a straight circus, and we seem to have some serious focus issues as is. 

 

tbh, i dont think he was black balled. he wants too much money, which too much circus for a backup, and teams stay away. 

 

hasnt he turned down offers? 

 

perhaps im completely ignorant to the situation

He turned down a BIG extension while he was with San Francisco.

I didn't see NFL caliber backup talent on the field last night, so a vet backup is appealing. Kaep would most likely take a standard 1 yr. vet backup contract (at perhaps a small discount), and be seen as starter opportunity elsewhere in 2020. We would get a vet with a strong desire to play at a high level to backup QB1 who is strongly motivated every day to play at a high level. 

As for the heaping helping of political issues, I would assume those who are zealots (whom I'll hear from shortly) would start supporting another team or sell their PSL's but I think that would be a small (but vocal) part of the fanbase. But it could well raise the national profile of the team to others who support Kaep's point, so I think the net is probably neutral  to +.

If Kaep never plays, it would be a footnote in the stat sheet, talked about in the A block of 'D' list sports shows for a week. Cam has the full respect of this team and will continue to be the leader, even if Kaep came in and played well for a stretch . Kaep, however will be looking for a team of his own, and that will be a team looking for a veteran leader in the 2020 off season. So I think 2019 Kaep would be good for both sides, which is the territory where deals can be made.

  

1.  First and foremost, there is no proof that Kaep can play.  His last stint as a QB ended with a 1-10 record and that was 3 years ago!  But, for some reason half this fanbase thinks he's can "play at a high level."  Might as well give The Golden Calf of Bristol a look too then!  Maybe even Favre, I heard he said he could still play too!

2.  It's interesting that you are the one who bring up "zealots."  As if, that is all your post is about - supporting this political agenda and ignoring the product on the field.  Really, I think these posts should go to the Tinderbox because you are just trying to be divisive and create animosity.  In fact, I would say the majority of people have no problem supporting Kaep and Reid's cause.  But, does that mean we should give Kaep a starting spot even though he can't play?  NO! 

3.  This fanbase really cracks me up man.  When Grier was drafted, everyone was talking about how terrible it was and how everyone is going to be calling for Grier to start after ever Cam mistake.  That didn't happen, instead we have Reid bring up Kaep, and the fanbase latches on like leeches.  Ironic, isn't it?

He couldn't even make decent throws to the WR's because they were all erratic and wild missing the targets.

I dont feel like using energy to post the stats but kaep did not get outplayed by gabbert at any point of his career. Stop the lies. You post their stats while at SF so we can end this lie. 

Kaepernicks throws were so erratic and uncatchable his receivers were unable to catch anything. He was benched for Gabbert because he failed his team.

I mean, no. It’s open for discussion. I don’t claim to be the authority. Because, I’m not. In fact, breaking news, nobody here is.

But, if I’m running the football team, I’m probably not going to sign somebody that hasn’t played in three years. Has nothing to do with race or anything else. 

Now if that’s the agenda somewhere else, I can’t control that. All I know is I’m not signing Colin Kaepernick. I hope the team doesn’t.

Because...you guessed it: he hasn’t played in three years.

Reid is looking out for his friend. Hardly anyone out there actually thought the Carolina Panthers would sign Kaepernick under these circumstances.

I really wouldn't keep putting both feet into this cesspool if I were you. The types that will be giving you high fives over your takes on this aren't exactly the brightest of the bright.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
