You know this thread is going to get boxed in like ten seconds, so I might as well point out that one of the most celebrated players in NFL history, Pat Tillman, was an atheist.

When the military trots his memory out there to glorify themselves (uh... I mean "him") they also leave out that inconvenient fact that he was killed by friendly fire.

And people love to commemorate his “martyrdom” yet never get into the details of his death.

If the media would have left The Golden Calf of Bristol alone I do think he could of been a backup QB in this league.  Maybe a gadget red zone insertion here or there. 
 

The Skip Bayless type folks that just lied about The Golden Calf of Bristol and made him miserable to bring on your roster…killed what would have been a solid Clipboard Jesus career (minus the hair but plus the Jesus swag).   

Yea its the distraction excuse with both Kap and The Golden Calf of Bristol. They both bring a bigger fanbase/"circus" than their talent would demand. Both could be on rosters and Teebow would be strictly a goal to go guy like Mike Alstott or something but could be a threat in the RZ. Kap more of a normal backup QB.

A lot of people tend to forget when talking about Kaep that he OPTED OUT of the last year of his contract.  Not like, club declined it, but he opted out.  "Nah, I'm good".  That part always told me everything I needed to know about him.

For The Golden Calf of Bristol, doesn't it really say everything when your old college coach won't even give you a roster spot?

The NFL is one place where ability will almost always trump any other consideration.  If you are good enough you will have a place to play.  VONTAZE BURFICT stayed in the league.  MICHAEL VICK got a second chance.  What does Shannon Sharpe always say?  "If you play good, they pay good"

Both would be in the league if it wasn't for off-field stuff and ego. Kap is definitely backup/marginal starter caliber. Denver offered him a contract reflecting of that. He was insulted by it. The Golden Calf of Bristol could definitely be a gadget player for someone. Sean Payton offered him the initial shot at what would ultimately become Taysom Hill's role. He had no interest. He only wanted to be a pure QB. Then he finally took a shot at TE for his old college coach when he was past his athletic prime.

The folks who want to pretend like it's all conspiracy theory about these guys for political/social reasons have to ignore a lot of reality.

Yeah good point on both. Kap could be a backup but him being a distraction and the calls for him to start by his followers make that a poor choice for any team, not even factoring in his salary and playing time demands which are absurd.

 

The Golden Calf of Bristol is not an NFL caliber QB. Not even as a gadget player like Taylor Hillsom. Taylor Hillsom who can barely throw is 10x the passer The Golden Calf of Bristol ever was. Maybe he could have stuck around as a TE but I kinda doubt it. He’s athletic but there are plenty of other more athletic freaks that teams try at TE who don’t make it. But yeah he’s a massive distraction too as we saw when his Jags jersey was the top seller after he signed there. Not worth it.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
