Miami signed MATT f'ning Moore and Indy needs a starting QB. Why hasn't Mr. Kaepernick has his number called yet? He's ready.

because NFL teams know the one thing fans don't want is off-field drama and that's exactly what Kaepernick is going to bring.
is it really this underhanded though? if you're looking at his effect strictly on your on-field performance he's a walking list of negatives
-divisive in the locker room
-meme scrambler QB whose ACL could explode at any moment
-he would probably refuse to sign any contract that doesn't wildly over-pay him
-31 years old (why roll the dice on a QB this age?)
-hasn't played an NFL game since 2016
and then you start getting into PR optics and off-field drama
Miami is tanking and the colts probably wouldn't mind a top 5 pick next year. They know this is a lost season. The Colts starter now is more capable than that dude that hates America.
Brissett is more than capable of starting
Chiefs signed Matt Moore
I hear Vinny Testaverde is ready too.
IT WAS HIS TURN
He's not a good qb
Are teams interested in him? Maybe
Is he willing to accept a backup role and a veteran's minimum contract? No
He severely overvalues himself, plus martyrdom sells more than if he were holding a clipboard for a 6-10 team. Repeat this until his act wears out and is no longer marketable.
LOL!!!!! look at that kike face , dude is literally a tanned JEW
He's not a football player anymore, he thinks he's a martyr.
>be a shitty football player
>have one decent season
>upset half the fanbase of the league that employs you
>don't get offered a job
The people still trying to make him a meme when he's been out of the league for years are one of the reasons he won't be back.
You can't just have him on the sidelines. He's going to be a sideshow for every game, practice, off-day, pregame presser, etc.
No team wants his brand of sideshow unless he comes at vet minimum, which he ain't doing
>-divisive in the locker room
Bullshit.
>-meme scrambler QB whose ACL could explode at any moment
Pocket passers are actually more likely to tear ACLs
>-he would probably refuse to sign any contract that doesn't wildly over-pay him
"Wildly over-pay" based on your subjective and vindictive standard for what he's worth? Probably.
>-31 years old (why roll the dice on a QB this age?)
Fair.
>-hasn't played an NFL game since 2016
Fair. He has been training constantly though.
>and then you start getting into PR optics and off-field drama
Over-blown. Does not have an effect on results. Also, there's no evidence they'd lose money, and in fact they'd probably cash in (see: Nike's ad campaign, the fact that his jersey has generally been pretty high on the top-selling list, etc.).
Essentially this. He's fine with riding unemployment until he's 40
Sick of people acting like this is another Painter/Collins situation, Jacoby had a absolutely shit tier team around him a whole year and played fine as basically a rookie. Worst case scenario he's on the level of someone like Dalton, best case he's a Chad Pennington type.
Based. Very much this. He seemingly embodies a movement bigger than himself, when in reality it’s artifical bullshit drummed up for himself and his image alone. Too selfish to be part of a team and a huge liability for any owner
andrew cuck did this by design to make colin look like a hero
Why doesn't he play Canadian football or destroy some amateur league?
because he believes he can still play in the NFL, just like every other washed up player who has ever played a down in the league.
dude is a fucking baby
user, if you're so smart why aren't you crushing middle school right now?
only an american could come up with an analogy so retarded
Because he doesn't want to play football, he wants to start in the NFL. He's made that painfully clear.
This
>try and put Kaep on a pedestal
>meanwhile that would mean squashing the promising young career of another black QB who ACTUALLY wants to play.
Also as a niners fan, fuck Kaep. I'm fine with kneeling but the guy was wildly inefficient despite flashing very promising moments. He was very frustrating to watch he had a lot of talent but something was always missing and he rarely made pre snap adjustments and tried to improvise post snap.
Because he isn't a very good player and wants way too much money
>best case he's a Chad Pennington type.
Fuck off, based Chad was elite. Literally the best QB we had since Marino and the 3rd best QB in Dolphins history
Matt Moore signed with the chiefs retard as a backup for black/white mixed mutt starting QB.
And Indy already has a black QB now starting.
This user gets it. Brisket doesn't have the raw talent that Luck had but he did not look like an outright bad QB. Considering the Colts team he started for and the playcalling, I would say that he did remarkably well, all things considered. I think he will surprise people as the QB1 this season.
>hasn't played since 2016
>hasn't played a full season since 2014
>hasn't had a winning record since 2013
Would he really be worth it?
....soooooooo you're agreeing that signing him would be a dumb idea? or disagreeing? I can't tell
>MUH KAEPERNICK
How many more years are we going to have to listen to this shit? He's 31 and hasn't played since 2016. I swear, in 2025 we are gonna have blue checkmark Twitter fags crying because he is still un-singed.
Kaepernick wasn't even good in his athletic prime and he only works out 5 days a week now.
Luck had to retire at 29 and we are expected to believe Kaepernick at 31 can still go?
the league continues to keep him shut out as punishment for an extremely reasonable protest (which was in response to cops killing innocent black people). all the league cares about is money and they know that the racist hicks would be outraged if kaep' was brought back. the drop in viewership/attendance during the protests scared the shit out of the NFL and this is part of their response
>and then you start getting into PR optics
yes, for anyone wondering it actually is a normal thing to hear the phrase "PR optics" in america. people have truly internalized corporate mumbo-jumbo. you sound like a woman in HR whose about to tell someone that things aren't looking so good
>is outraged about this
>couldn't care less about the horrors of CTE
>muh racist chinese guy
i wonder how he would feel if a white guy led him through china while laughing his ass off at the infrastructure. that's what it takes for a bigot to understand his hypocrisy
If Kaepernick was white he wouldn't even be in the news.
he's already proven that once his performance wanes he'll lean on politics to keep his job, no one wants a bum like that.
Ummm PoC can't be racist, sweetie
Look, he sued the NFL and settled and got his money and isn't telling anyone what he got from them but he still accepted the settlement. Why does anyone still listen to him after that?
I hope he gets signed and and gets a nice fat TBI from helmet to helmet and we never see him again.
KAEP 2020 NIGGA REAL SHIT
>Pocket passers are actually more likely to tear ACLs
It's not just ACLs though. Running QBs are more likely to get hit, especially in the head
Rodgers and Aikman had concussion problems precisely because they refused to give up on plays outside of the pocket
Kaepernick needs to drop that vapid and domineering bitch. Until then he won't be signed anywhere.
Kap burent the bridge when that SJW bitch insulted Ray Lewis
He's not even good
he's blacklisted. he potentially cost the league millions with viewership loss and settled with him out of court and now you wan that same league to employ him?
this isn't really emphasized enough. financially short term a team would gain from it from all the woke niggers jumping the bandwagon but it'd be at the expense of the other 31. the nfl is a cartel and doesn't roll like that
It's all so hilariously fake and bullshit, everything is for himself and his own image and its painfully obvious. Funny thing is take everything out of the equation and focus soley on "football" reasons, he hasn't played for like what 2 years now? He's a shit tier passer, only fooled everyone that one season when they didn't know how to handle Harbaughs system with him as the option QB and he cant make a fucking read to save his life. He makes someone bang average like Fitzpatruck look like a prime Elway in comparison. No team would pay him the vet fucking minimum.
Only retards defend Kaep for any reason. Even casual faggots can tell that he's shit as a player and even shittier as a person, he even manipulated the shitty feel-good politics of stupid woke Americans to boost his own image. He completely forgot that he only got to where he is because of his white parents and the white boomers operating the business. The only ones who deny these facts are either literal retards or are just finger pointing shills with an agenda.
I would've loved to be a fly on the wall of the NFL executives that supposedly actually offered him a contract and he came back saying he wanted to be in the upper brackets, earning Wilson level money. God they proabably called him an ungrateful nigger as soon as he left the room
I don't know, depends on how well he's kept up his skills/fitness. It's worth working him out, at least. A couple years ago there would be no legitimate reason not to sign him.
