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.

If Kyle Allen is your backup, do you still like the idea?

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.

Panthers do not need a has been average QB. Kaepernick can't even make catchable passes to the receivers and he wants be a starter which we do not have a need for as long as Cam steers the ship.

He hasn’t played in three years.

Why? That’s not my problem. 

I’m not signing any quarterback that hasn’t played in three years.

Case closed

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.

[ellis]

I’m not looking for high fives. I’m comfortable with my football take on this.

If anybody draws any malicious conclusions, that’s on them.
