Kaepernick

update on Kap and the Raven trial balloon. Richard Sherman having played against kap thinks he is a decent QB, decent enough to start in the NFL.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/02/richard-sherman-gets-to-the-heart-of-the-colin-kaepernick-situation/amp/

“What is it about?” Sherman said. “It’s not about football or color. It’s about, ‘Boy, stay in your place.’”

Bingo.

“Not a lot of guys are willing to step out there,” Sherman added. “So the guys not speaking up for him are doing him a disservice. There should be a lot more guys saying something. Most guys are like, ‘I don’t want my job to end up the same way.'”

Sherman told Bell that Kaepernick would have been a great fit in Seattle, but the Seahawks decided not to sign him. At least the Seahawks didn’t engage in an awkward, clumsy, slow-motion crowdsourcing exercise aimed at determining whether fans and sponsors would revolt before deciding whether to offer him a job.

“For you to say you have to check with sponsors and fans because this guy took a knee and made a statement?” Sherman said regarding the Ravens’ apparently ongoing deliberations. “Now if you told me this guy threw eight pick-sixes last year and played like a bum, had no talent, that’s one thing. But Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett or whoever is playing for the Jets right now — whoever is starting for the Jets is terrible — have jobs. You’re telling me fans would rather you lose and put a worse player out there because a guy took a stand? That’s where it’s so troublesome to me. . . .

“Blake Bortles has shown you enough to where you don’t think Kaep would be a solid fit? Kaep has won games.”

I don't agree with much Richard Sherman ever says, but he hit the nail on the head with a 10-ton hydraulic press.

Not in my books.

I loved that Seahawk win. I cringed during that clip.

There is something to be said about dignity and class- neither on display here.

He must've taken a few too many Adderall that game.

maybe...that was literally 20 seconds after a great play against a trash talking opponent (that nobody heard of against one of the greatest corners ever) that preserved a conference victory.
I think that interview would have been much different if done minutes later or in the locker room.

Nobody has ever heard of Crabtree?

Try again. Highly touted out of college (two time Biletnikoff winner given to the nation's best wide out). High first round draft pick. And solid pro.

Not taking your bait, JC.  You sound as ridiculous here as you do in the Trump threads.

you're right I probably should have used the phrase "everyone has forgotten about", my bad. anyway the point is the competitiveness and emotions immediately after a play.

So you're excusing poor behaviour?

Sure hope you have limits to which bad behaviours have good excuses for and which ones do not!

except Richard will someday himself learn when the skills erode and they can find someone equally as good an employer will always choose the good soldier over the one who wants to stir the pot. it's not complicated.  yea you can speak your mind, but it doesn't mean there might not be consequences from employers.

Edit: and i haven't looked for it but i'm still waiting to see where Kaep supposedly donated his million dollars to as he pledged to do last year.

Why the fuck did Michael Vick and Ray Lewis have celebrated NFL career's then?

There's several articles out there referencing his ongoing donations.

I would say Vick didn't.

Ray Lewis was found innocent. I thought that was enough for these places.

But I agree with the message of your post.  I'd hate to see what my current or a potential employer would think if they found my posts on here or elsewhere online.

He plead guilty to obstruction of justice.  Should have gone to jail and never stepped foot in an NFL uniform ever again.  At the very least, the latter of the two.

Colin Kaepernick did nothing illegal.  He harmed no one or nothing.  He made a peaceful protest against police brutality on black people.  Which, by the way, is a right protected by those who fought for this country.  The whole "disrespect the veterans/flag/country" line is utterly ridiculous.  He was exercising the very right those people fought for. 

This country is fucking insane with patriotism disguised for racism.

I've never thought he was a great QB.  But for fuck's sake.  If Jay god damn Cutler can get a freaking job - the fuck's he EVER done to prove he's worth a starting job?  Whoever's starting for the Browns or Jets... give me a damn break.

There was a self defence case at play. He was reluctant to testify against his friends- which he ultimately did.

I am not necessarily saying I think he was innocent, but it would have been tough to condemn him from the league given what he was charged with.

I am not a Ray Lewis fan.

The not so thinly veiled racism should be apparent to most everyone. The theme of "stay in your place" has reared up in other ways e.g. "All lives matter", "blue lives matter" and a vote for lil trump, our "law and order" president. 

HesCalledDyer

So plea guilty to a felony and it's not enough to condemn someone from the league, but do absolutely nothing illegal or zero harm to anyone or anything and get blackballed.

This is why the NFL is a fucking joke.
