Only playoff games and they were extremely white.

While true, he's also a bigger headache than any of them.

He's a backup QB for a lot of teams, if I sign him will he be helpful in game plans and a sideline set of eyes for my starting QB? Is he going to be a headache or distraction? Exactly.

Sitting around a table with Kerr and Pop has got to be a real arse whip.

No one wants the fricking sideshow that he brings along.

If he was as good as Tom Brady, he'd be playing.

But he's awful and put his politics above his team.

It's not that hard to understand.

The reason these other QBs keep getting on rosters is they show up, do their job and don't complain.

This seems next to impossible for the left that keeps bringing up that Kap is being "blackballed" to comprehend. Bringing Kap aboard would hurt a teams bottom line.

There's a lot of people on the left who don't know how to own or run businesses. When the majority of the fan base is conservative, you're not going to hire an employee who wears socks of cops depicted as pigs or t-shirts with dictators on them.

People act like 2012-13 Kaep is just dangling out there unemployed. Dude was garbage the last 2 years and hasn't been the same since his shoulder issues.

Not really. It's a very natural reaction to get pissed off when their bullshite is shoved down you throat in every aspect of life. Even sports now.

It’s the baggage that comes with Kaep that people don’t seem to get. You can be a badass QB and get away with all kinds of shite, you can’t do the same if your a middle of the road QB. Why would any team fall on that sword

I'm talking middle class here. They make up the bread and butter of the workforce, and a majority of them are conservative due to government regulations.

But since you brought up big business, NFL franchises are big business and yet; Kaep is still unemployed. Ironic, isn't it?

I don't know why any is surprised when head coaches support and pander to the athletes, and support their arguments/causes. You will likely never see a head coach say anything against the players. Unless he wants to get fired.

Ok Kerr, let's say I show up with a huge rebel flag in the back of my truck and some people see it as racist. Then my employer says hey BowDown take that Flag out of your truck or you're fired but I see it as my right.... I'm taking the flag out because I need my job. frick Kerr, frick Cap, frick BLM and especially frick any and all snowflakes

But then you're going to go on the poli board and whine about it and "muh rights" and get your base all riled up to go "do something" about it

Tebow was a better QB for the same team than Simeon is. Yet, he's out of the league, too. Why isn't Kerr out there white knighting for him? Owners just don't want the PR nightmare that he brings

However, every time it involves a black guy, it's ALWAYS about the color of his skin. The day when people can look at an OJ, Tiger Woods, Kaep and say, play stupid games win stupid prizes, instead of "how much does race factor into what's happening to him", then racism will finally be on its way out the door

And it doesn't help that the SJW crowd so desperately want an elite black QB. Kaep just helps push that narrative

Agree with him here

quote:

"Oh, he is being blackballed. That's a no-brainer," Kerr said of Kaepernick


Wrong, All the owners did not collude to keep Kaep out.

I agree with half this. Worse QBs are being hired imo, but its not because he's blackballed. It's because no team that has a shitty QB wants the gigantic media shite show to come along with a QB who is not worth it.

Also, the last time that CK had a better than average season was 2013. He COULD start on a team like the Jets or Browns, but why sign the guy because of the media shite show. He's also not the kind of QB that will make your season. He's not worth the risk for a shitty team and he's not good enough for a top tier team.
