Odds makers think the Steelers may sign Kaepernick

Good Point 58Stillers.

Nike wants money and Kaepernick wants a job. STEELWINDS AKA The East Side Kid

 

"So we're waiting for the 32 owners, the 32 teams, Roger Goodell, all of them to stop running, stop running from the truth, stop running from the people. Around here, we're ready to play, we're ready to go anywhere, my agent Jeff Nalley is ready to talk to any team. I'll interview with any team at any time.

Running his mouth IMO

 

Is that SHIFTY SHIFT ?

 

amazing.... not sure why he’s not signed....

 

I dont get it?? Your impressed he can throw a ball 30 yards that is off target ( low}

 

Elite arm talent? Is Irsay off the wagon again?

 

Yeah.... let Mason work on his fundementals and basics more. Again, I was not for signing Colin anyway; political views being nugatory to me. He did not do so well after John Harbaugh left; his style of play getting exposed the same.

 

He stated earlier in a tweet that the league should forgive Myles Garrett. With the impending lockout coming in addition to Garrett's suspension, Jim Irsay could have not stepped onto a more PR thermonuclear mine if he tried...


.... then again, having Ryan Grigson do NOTHING to help Andrew Luck is possibly his worst offense.

 

Idk, he told P. Manning to hit the road.

 

I mean, Rudolf did miss a wide open Holton on 4th and 2 which should have been his second read. Wide open past the sticks. He’s taking too long to make his decisions and it’s costing them.

Holton May have still dropped it, but he waited and reset the flubbed a duck right at the LB which should have been intercepted.

That said, had Holton caught at least one of those deep balls, this game probably plays out a little different.

 

That too. Andrew Luck could have been something special though. Irsay though let Grigson rip apart Luck's career.

 

That wasn't anything more than a Nike/Kap publicity stunt... Dudes a joke.

 

It was the NFL that wanted this. It is an NFL publicity stunt. They wanted to say they did right by him. I doubt any team will seriously consider signing him at this point. The NFL black balled him. At the same time they let woman beaters, cheaters, law breakers, ect get 2nd chances to play in the league. What the league should had done was leave him a lone or support him. After all he didn't break any laws.


It appears that Kapernick just wants the opportunity to play. He only wanted the opportunity to play for several years. He helped to lead a team to the Superbowl. I am pretty sure he was probably better than many back up QBs in the league over the past several years. He might be better than most of the 3rd string QB's on rosters today.

 

Teams gave him a chance to play, Ravens were ready to sign him & then more political bs from his camp nixed it.

 

If he WANTED to play he would've never left the league period. He would've continued in a reduced role as that's where he ended up... maybe even got another legit shot but he **** on any and every opportunity offered him.

He was trending towards not worth the headache before he even decided to become a headache. Simple as that.

 

Teams did not give him the opportunity to play. He would had played if that was the case.

 

He didn't play because the league black balled him. The league pulled this PR move. Simple as that.

 

He ran himself out of the league. Wanted to set the rules, cried foul when nobody was interested.

 

That's simply not the case. I think he would had played if given a real opportunity.

The league set the rules. Same as they did for Ray Rice. The issues were just to hot for the league to handle.

The league sent a silent message for future players. Do this and we will ban you. But you can beat women (as long as not on camera), act up (AB style), break the law, use and sell drugs, ect and we will give you a 2nd chance.

Do you think Garrett should be allowed to play in the league again for what he did? I think he should be banned for life. He could had killed Mason. The league will give him another chance though.

 

They will give Myles another go. How much longer though will he be suspended remains to be seen. Keep in mind he has had on field conduct issues since his rookie season.


Keep in mind the NFL already dealt with Vontez Burfict for years. Does the NFL really want another one like him coming right back?! Time will tell but, even though the league stated a minimum of eight games, I will not be surprised if he is suspended for all of 2020 for I do not see Roger Goodell reinstating him so quickly.

 

Honestly I think Garrett can learn from his mistake. I was young once & made a few bad decisions but got something out of it. A suspension should be long & contingent upon his maturity.

 

Doesn't Kap want like $20M a year? Doubtful a team is paying anything close to that for a backup. If he was worth that, I would think he would be a starter.

I didn't see anything from the clips of his workout that shows he is a $20M starting QB. They could parade 100 current college QBs and even some high school kids out there on an empty field to play catch with some WRs and they wouldn't look any different. Not sure what it's going to take for him to realize he doesn't have the skills and abilities to start in this league. I doubt he really even wants to play football. Seems like he is just trying to make noise to stay in the public eye to advance an agenda.

 

He punch another player before and was fined for late hits to a QB in the past.

I agree people can learn from mistakes. He has a history of questionable conduct though. I think he will get another chance.

It's inconsistent how the league handles different situations that came up.

 

He told Baltimore to hit the road.
