quote:

"It's a lot more than just he's not on the team because he doesn't want to stand for the national anthem," McCoy said Thursday. "That may have something to do with it, but I think also it has a lot to do with his play. I'm sure a lot of teams wouldn't want him as their starting quarterback. That chaos that comes along with it, it's a lot.


quote:

"As a team, trying to win and not have a distraction on the team, I just take that as a player -- there's certain players that could be on the team with big distractions, and there's other players that it's not good enough or not worth it. I think his situation is not good enough to have him on the team with all the attention that comes along with it. I'm sure if a guy like [Tom] Brady or a guy like whoever is your favorite player -- Odell Beckham or a guy like that -- you'll deal with that attention and play him."


quote:

"He's 10 times better than Kaepernick," McCoy said of Vick. "You'll deal with that situation, that attention, that media aspect of it. The good, the bad attention you'll get. Compared to Kaepernick, it's like, he's not really that good [enough] of a player to deal with.

"So people outside of sports don't really know that. They see only one side of black guy standing up for a good reason [and] the NFL is against him, but I think it's more than that. I think it has to do with some of that. But also, dealing with him with him on the team you're trying to build together. There's so many outsiders [that] can mess up a team. I can see both sides, I really can."



quote:

"You just got to look at all sides," McCoy said. "Like, if I'm an owner or the GM of a team, do I want to put him on my team? Is he good enough to be on the squad, to even deal with everything that's going on? That's something that I don't really partake in."


Didn't see this on the first two pages and the search feature kinda sucks, so not sorry if posted

That's cool. McCoy actually committed a crime in a club. I'm sure this board will find someway to knight McCoy of CK7

McCoy said something sensible? I'm surprised at this.

Your thought process:

"Oh look, a black guy who has an opinion that doesn't follow the pre-approved opinions a black guy is allowed to have.

Quick, better bring up something irrelevant to try to discredit him."

He's correct. Kapernick is an utter dipshit

It's only a distraction because Americans don't really believe in other people's right to express themselves. They're snowflakes

You actually just proved his point. McCoy had baggage yet was still a big enough asset to a team that they could deal with that and put him on the team. Kaep is not a good enough player to overcome the baggage he brings with him.

Listened to a podcast with Jed York a few weeks back. The impression he gave was that Kaep wanted to do his "cause" on football time. He also kind of hinted around that Kaep let it be known that football really wasn't a priority and he'd rather, I don't know, be unemployed and look sad.
After Jamarcus "Purple Drank" & JFF I don't think owners are interested in paying a QB who had questionable commitment.
