He had one decent year then went into a decline. Now 3 years out of the game.

Any chances he has would be in the CFL or Europe.

There are a lot of quarterbacks who had a decent year in the NFL and either went into decline or shot themselves in the foot and are long gone. No one is asking them and raising conspiracy theories.

Where is RG3 these days?
lol, where is Johnny Manziel ?

That's what happens when the rest of league figures you out and you don't respond with something new.

At least, that's what they say about MLB pitchers who have a great first year and then go into decline.

He was offered a contract with AAF and turned it down.

Course AAF didn’t last too long...

“He had one decent year then went into a decline. Now 3 years out of the game.

Kaepernick has burned a lot of bridges. Before the kneeling he was seen as an a$$hole by the 49ers. He was walking around listening to beats headphones around the complex refusing to speak to anyone after losses. It got to the point coaches were calling him out. He’s called other players “f*cking n*ggers” while playing, which everyone knows about, making him look hypocritical. He was known to not even look at game plans like Jamarcus Russell.
Now let’s talk about his play. He can’t scan the left side of the field. He can only throw and run going to the right, everyone knows that. His touch and timing passes are really bad. He’s got a cannon for an arm and can run. But he doesn’t fit most NFL offenses. That’s why he’s not back in San Francisco. He’s a zone read quarterback, and no one wants a pure zone read guy any more. He might be able to develop into a different type of system but no one wants to pay him $10 million a year to do that. Also, he would create such a distraction with his off the field activities that, in the judgment of those teams, he is not worth the trouble or the money or gamble.

Let’s look at his injuries. Since I don’t want to fill up a page on this, let’s just sum it up and say he’s physically torn up, particularly his throwing shoulder.

So you’ve got a guy who wants starter money even if he’s not a starter, who can’t stay healthy, is already torn up, who can’t scan half the field and can’t throw touch passes. He’s also a huge a$$hole to teammates and opposing players. Who wants or needs him?
