In 10 years you can add “ The same league that used certain planted referees in key games to control storylines and fix scores for Vegas in exchange for silence on the fixed storylines? That league?”

Oh, people can bet their ass that story is coming.  I guarantee it.  We all have seen it in plain sight, ESPECIALLY us as Panther fans.

The same league that quietly blackballed Kaepernick for expressing his opinions about social justice, equality, equity, and police brutality - while simultaneously deciding to double down on fakeness and force teams to participate in public gestures of police support and standing for anthems seemingly in response to Kaepernick's stated issues.  That league?

 

Agreed with everything except this.

Kaepernick was NOT blackballed for doing that.

He wasn't picked by any team because he stunk as a QB at that point. 

He was offered later on a tryout on a team(I forget which) but he blew them off.

 

Look, I don't want to turn this into a Kaepernick discussion (the health of Damar takes precedence) but I just wanted to point that out.

Kaep had 16 passing touchdown to just 4 interceptions in his final year in just 11 starts. We haven’t had a QB that productive in Carolina since MVP Cam. Kyle Allen, Taylor H, Teddy Bridgewater, PJ Walker, Baker Mayfield in Carolina have never had a season as efficient as that. 
 

Sam Darnold is having that year in Carolina right now and it’s making folks here ask if Sam should just be the guy going forward at least into next season. No team would touch Kap for years and I think most folks can look at the tape and see a guy like Nathan Peterman and Zach Wilson shouldn’t have jobs over CK. He’s performed better than more than half the backups in the league for sure. Cmon.

He was blackballed for his protests.

He ended up being away so long because of his hubris and the length of time he was away from the game.

I will always support Colin's right to protest the way he did.

I will always think he is a mediocre QB and a whiny bitch as a player.

Kaps teams went 2-6 and 1-10 with under .60 completions his last 2 years. What 6 TDs and 5 Ints the 2nd to last year?

I personally think it's both his play and the FU by a large portion of the poplulation, not just teams. He didn't look like a great option to start and that had a lot to do with it because he wouldn't take a non-starter job.

The entire situation is a case study on how to fug up on every level possible. He got blackballed but he also made himself vulnerable and his enemies jumped all over it like who they absolutely are.

I think the best summary I've heard of Kaepernick's situation was from someone who said that NFL teams will put up with an awful lot if they think you can help them win games.

If your playing skills aren't as good, their tolerance level goes way way down.

If Tom Brady had protested, he would still be in the NFL playing somewhere.  If Will Grier protested, he would not be in the NFL.

I might be misremembering but wasn't it some War Vet who gave him the
"kneeling during the anthem"  Idea?

Well we're waiting for more news (good news) on the Damar front.

Someone said he still wasn't breathing on his own despite showing improvement....

Lemme see if I can find the quote from yesterday. 
 

From a local broadcaster so take it as you will. The big hurdle right now is getting him breathing on his own fully. If they can do that. Then they can try to wake him up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
