The Reactions To Brock Osweiler Getting Signed Before Kaepernick Are Gold

Brock Osweiler is headed back to the Denver Broncos, and people are not happy he got picked up before Colin Kaepernick.

Osweiler, who played for the Broncos two seasons ago, was resigned by Denver almost immediately following getting cut by the Cleveland Browns.

As you can imagine, people were not happy Osweiler has a job and Kaepernick doesn’t.

Brock Osweiler has a job and Colin Kaepernick does not. Just let that sink in. #Kaepernick #BrockOsweiler

I think Kaepernick + Broncos D would give them 11 wins. But no, go ahead, sign Osweiler.

Why would the Anti-American want to play for mainly rich, white
capitalist slave owners? SAC

Perhaps Brock is more talented than Colin, and more of a team player.

Just thinking out loud here.

It shouldn't be an issue. Look at their records from last year. Kaper-suck got just one win in 11 games started for SF. Osweiler won 8 out of 14 starts with the Browns. The Browns... I think it is fair to say that SF is usually seen as a far more competitive team than the Browns. That tells me Osweiler is probably better at working with what he's got while Kaper-whatever is good at running a decent team into the turf. Erase the names and the politics and all the noise and just look at the facts. One guy is a pretty fair QB, one is not. Zero mystery on why one is signed and one is not.

Great idea. He can start his own league in Zimbabwe, Mugabe would love to have him. Besides, he'll be making more money getting paid with these: .

Elway got a deal with Brock.
One year contract for $765,000
The Loser Browns eat the rest of his 15 million contract.
Eat that Kapernick.

The Denver head coach is from Louisiana - like David Duke. He went to a private high school. He’s obviously a white racist. I mean, just look at the guy’s picture. /s

ESPN may act like they are outraged that no team has signed him.
But ESPN knows the Kap is poison. To teams and broadcast ratings.
That is why they have not offered him a broadcast contract.p

I get tired of saying this, Kap will not get a warm reception in Canada.

Americans might not want to hear this, but in some parts of Canada the US national anthem is more respected than on an NFL sideline. To wit:

Toronto

And Edmonton

Would this happen in San Francisco? Mexico City?

K’s already cost the NFL loads of money and many, many viewers, by bringing politics into money-making entertainment sport and thereby alienating the fans from professional football. He could be a player or a SJW, but not both.

There is one team in the Canadain football league, the Hamilton Tiger Cats, that have the rights to RG3, Manziel, and Kaepernick if the playuers decide to go there. But Kaepernick is staying, in my mind, to slam his point as he has taken no compromise to do anything productive to his situation.

There has been a lot of people asking why he isn’t getting signed. And I can’t understand why people are even asking this question. Here’s the answer:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2016/10/05/confirmed-nfl-losing-millions-of-tv-viewers-because-of-national-anthem-protests/#6cfccc12226c

When an employee takes money out of the pockets of his employers and peers, and continues his actions despite the reaction, he is a detriment to the company. It is unfortunate that in this country you can’t run a business and take an action based upon factors other than the issue, but his action obviously was detrimental to the company and he won’t change his behavior. He’s a loose cannon not trustworthy to support the sport in his best actions. He doesn’t get hired.

Osweiler’s professional behavior gives him the edge if all else is equal.

Any team signing Colin K would be crazy. And financially suicidal

Osweiler never started for the Browns.

I love the author's snarky finish. Almost as much of a smart ass as I am. Good job!

"People"?

Oh, you mean the NAACLP "people", right?

'Cause nobody else gives a rat's ass.
