Dynasty League Football Forum

I read an article recently that discussed how bad the Colts organization is and their management of one of the best talents in the game. From blowing their medical evaluations to exceptionally poor draft and free agent signings. The article talked about how the only two comparable situations histori...

It definitely didn't go unnoticed. He sat on the bench during the first preseason game and it was being talked about the next day. It just didn't blow up for another week or so.

Gotcha, the unnoticed was directly quoting the SBnation article I linked.

Kaep was protesting well before he was benched. It only drew attention when he was was benched and people twisted what he was doing to fit whatever convenient narrative they needed. Kaep's first protest was unnoticed and occured during the first two preseason games in 2016 in August. After it went ...

The cover up is almost always worse than the crime. Once he's been given his fair due everyone would move on to the next thing to talk about. You really think that if a team brought in Colin Kaepernick and Blake Bortles (or Matt Moore) and decided to go with the latter that the media and SJWs would...

You said he's not an NFL QB and now you're moving the goalposts. You can not like the guy and still admit that he's and NFL caliber talent. I think he sucks as a passer. The below says it a lot better than I can. What does the game film show? It would be disingenuous to take the position that Kaepe...

More than half? And what do you base that on? Should we compare attendance numbers? And what about Steve Smith?

I base that on listening to Panthers AM sports shows and polling at the time, because I live here. It was something like 58%.

He would not be wanted here in Carolina. The players on this team are all about team first and have always worked hard to not center the attention on themselves. Cam Newton :think: Cam trying not to be the center of attention Like I said... not someone the fans particularly appreciate. But then aga...

Lol... you aren't from around here are you? When Cam's rookie contract was up, more than half the fans were didn't want him resigned... that was 3 years ago.

If it wasn't for his protest, he'd have a job playing QB in the NFL right now. If it wasn't for his protest, No one would would be talking about him or demanding he be given a job. Before he lost his job in SF, tons of posts on these forums about what a bad QB he was. Yeah he worked in Fantasy beca...

I like the Carolina back up idea. It makes a lot of sense from a skill set perspective and scheme perspective. (nice take on that one). He would not be wanted here in Carolina. The players on this team are all about team first and have always worked hard to not center the attention on themselves. T...

Look at the offense Denver had to run with Tebow at QB. There's no comparison between the two as players. Kaepernick is an NFL caliber QB, Tim Tebow is not. I disagree, he's quite unaccomplished when you really look at what he did do. I don't disagree that Tebow was not an NFL QB. He moreso goes ba...

Also no one is going to want a back up that brings a fire storm of media with them, ala Tim Tebow. You say that but Tim Tebow was brought into Eagles camp and given a chance to compete for a roster spot. Not sure that is substantially different that the teams that have reached out to Kaepernick. Se...

You really think 32 teams (you can't say owners cause many teams are owned by several people, or a collective like the Packers) all got together and said "hey guys you know that Kaepernick fellow, lets stick it to him and nobody sign him"? So then you must think they also collude against ...

What a world we live in, where a white dude calling out other white dude's is now racist. If you're too blind to acknowledge what's going on, you need to take a hard look at yourself. I don't judge or treat people differently based on their race and don't call out color every chance I get. It seems...

Collusion is definitely the wrong word here. The owners didn't all get together for a secret handshake meeting and agree to not sign Kaepernick. More likely, each team individually decided that bringing in Kaepernick was not worth the media circus that would follow (i.e. Tim Tebow). He's just not g...
