I watched the Pats/Chiefs game last night. Alex Smith was very good.
It’s hard to believe that he lost his job to Kaepernick. The 49’ers really made what turned out to be an awful choice.
Out in the woods, we sum it up in fewer words. He’s a dumbass!
If he weren’t, he’d still be playing. Simple as that.
It is his right to do what he did but it’s also his right to accept the consequences of his actions if his boss is not happy with it. In a right to work state he would have simply been handed his paycheck and let got with no fuss or muss.
Actions have consequences. Some are good and some; not so much.
2 and 14 in 2016?
There is no colusion or blackballing going on. NFL owners just do not see any return on investment with this guy. Why would you pay millions of dollars to LOSE audience and fans? The people who support him are either already fully saturated fans of football or not fans of football, but they will not add anything significant to the bottom line of the team that signs him, compared to the loss of business from people who love their country.
He often locks on to his primary receiver and doesn’t even go through his progressions before he decides to take off. The D can cheat on their coverage when they know where he is going to throw, and when he takes off, he has a spy waiting for him.
The NFL isn’t a sport. It’s first a business and secondly entertainment. This guy is bad for business because the NFL’s customers don’t find him to be entertaining.
98% of the revenue for the NFL comes from WHITE PEOPLE, and the vast majority of them simply want to watch football, and are disgusted when politics (of any kind) intrudes.
The owners should know this, but apparently do not. Now they are learning this the hard way...as they face BILLIONS in losses and quite possibly the demise of the entire sport.
Perhaps next time they should listen to some of us on the right, and not immediately think that just because we agree with Rush that we are Brain-Dead Robots.
I’d “Stand with Kaepernick” if the dude was standing.
But it’s not just TV ratings that are hurting. The secondary market of sports bars is taking a hit as well.
Right, which is why all the comments about him being a better QB then some active players is so beside the point. His job isn't to score touchdowns, it's to put fans in the seats and eyeballs in front of TV's. Who cares how many touchdown passes he throws if he drives fans away?
K was photographed sitting out two seasons before. He’s just flat out lazy. It never had anything to do with his beliefs. When he was called out on it, he said nothing for the longest. It wasn’t until his muzzy gf gave him the flag as an excuse that he issued any statement. She’s also the one who tweeted him out of the latest contract negotiations. He’s too stupid to kick her out of bed. Bet Aldon Smith is counting his lucky stars to be rid of her.
Ray Lewis said Ravens would have signed Colin Kaepernick if not for girlfriend’s tweet
When all the BS is through concerning this idiot, Crapanick, the fact remains that he was a lousy Qback. Wasn’t his last season something like 2 and 14 ? Also, he has pissed away his career and multi million dollar pay package for what?...15 minutes in the limelight? IDIOT !!
Hey Kaep. There’s always Canadian football. You can take a knee when they play O Canada.
It seemed like a good idea at the time!
From day one football has also been also closely aligned with religion. If fact, during every game, someplace on the field, at some time, a player or players will be saying a prayer. How often is it shown or spotlighted? Where are the discussions about faith by the media.
The media. The league. The owners. The players. All have decided, it's their business and they are free to do what they want.
But they now are presenting a product I am not interested in buying anymore.
He’s not intelligent enough to really grasp the complex schemes and playbook crap they throw at you nowadays. You need to be a Brady or Manning level in the IQ department and Kaepaerrenick just isn’t. Probably because his adoptive white family held him back. Plus - he has no passing finesse and that is a huge one. He is a sitting duck for the big, angry and vicious defensive linemen that want to be the first player to put him in the hospital.
Let me check with Tim Tebow.
If the “Stand with Kaepernick” people are serious they shouldn’t limit a player’s freedom of speech to the beginning of the game when the national anthem is played. It should be for the whole game. So if a receiver catches the ball he should be free to take a knee right there to protest racism in America instead of running it in for a touchdown. If the fans object, they’re just deplorable racists.
