re: Colin Kaepernick says he's still training 5-6 days a week in hopes of NFL comeback

After the stunt he and his girl pulled the last time, nobody wants to get near him.

His downfall started after new contract in 2014. Even before contract he was implicated and investigated in an alleged sexual assault along with 2 other NFL players. In 2014 season He got fined for using racial slur, then got fined for pushing Beats in an official post game press conference which wasn’t league sponsor, and the 49ers finished 8 and 8 missing play offs, and Harbaugh was gone after season.

2015 and 2016 he wasn’t even full time starter for either season while 49ers continued to lose and go through 2 more coaches. He pushed for trade after being benched in 2015, and a couple weeks after benching then sat out rest of the second half of the season with a labrum injury to non-throwing shoulder which most took as thinking future not with SF and didn’t want to wait until off-season for surgery.

After surgeries gains his Muslim leftist political girlfriend, submits to her views, becomes a vegan, comes back to camp in 2016 distracted and physically weaker not winning starting job from Blaine Gabbert until October. Later in October he restructures contract turning 2017 season into a player option season. He still only won 1 of his starts, and then He opts out of his contract in March 2017.

He was done as a full time starter without some kind of major turn around in attitude and dedication to the sport. He initially pushed for too much money along with his girlfriend going negative about an owner of a team thinking about signing him.

He is pushing this narrative on training & continued NFL victimhood now because of his Netflix show or movie. Even you would have to see this, but you & Ebony seem perfectly willing to be stooges for him.

The self-righteousness of the guy is amazing. For him to think he's still relevant to teams in the NFL just goes to show how delusional he is.

The guy that was sulking before the game when Blaine Gabbert was given the start over him and then played the "it was for a higher purpose card" when he was questioned about it is a lying sack of shite. This is the world we live in.

FIFY

CK did do some great things with his meals and opportunities programs and partnerships, and I take nothing from that, but the theory the first time he did it before he was called out by a coach and media was that he was throwing a pity party on the bench after he was told they were letting Blaine get the start. That story seemed to fit when Colin didn't play a snap in that first game he "protested" where Gabbert got the start, Ponder relieved him, and Driskel finished the game in week 2 of that preseason against Denver. Gabbert went on to start the rest of the preseason and the first half of the regular season.

I am more sympathetic to Kaepernick than probably 75-80 percent of this board but there isn’t even a one in 10,000 chance he is telling the truth.

No more than the League sending the Miami Dolphins to watch him workout & pretending this workout was legit . Zero chance that the Dolphins are signing Kaepernick( an avowed Castro/ Che supporter). The League recruited teams/ volunteers to show up .


All that we are asking is don't insult everyone by sending the Miami Dolphins . I'm sure Ozzie Giullen would laugh at the notion that a Miami franchise was remotely interested in Kaep.

Since Che was racist against blacks and had anti-gay views as well just shows CK is a clown, but are you talking about the work out offered at the Atlanta facilities where all teams were invited and then CK canceled 30 minutes before to hold his own at some high school that some team reps still showed up to watch?

I don’t remember who showed up to the high school CK set up himself. I do remember CK wanting and pushing to try out for dolphins earlier in 2019, but I can’t remember when or if it took place or if they showed up to the one later in Atlanta. Regardless CK backed out of the official one all teams were invited to at Atlanta facilities to hold one elsewhere same day.

Even in 2017 - “when NFL executive and former safety Troy Vincent had arranged a springtime, in-person meeting between Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and Kaepernick. Later that summer, Ravens coach John Harbaugh and Kaepernick spoke by telephone”

Seattle was more about not needing a starter or wanting to pay starter money, but Baltimore was at least partially due to CK’s camp/girlfriend labeling the owner as a slave owner proving he was not going to be a fit for locker room.

Even the NFLPA had its issues with CK and not being a “team” player.
“ The NFLPA and Kaepernick had traded slights dating back to when Kaepernick was a star with the 49ers and opted out of the NFLPA's player-wide licensing agreement.”

This thread delivers

I feel like if he hasn't gotten a spot on a team yet, he isn't going to ever get one. Especially now with so many good, young QBs coming into the league.
