Washington in prime time is awful.
One of these years, I’d love to see a Cincinnati/Washington Primetime game
They did that in London and it was a tie.One of these years, I’d love to see a Cincinnati/Washington Primetime game
You really thought they'd have a chance with back ups at QB and on the O-line?
And yet he's still better than probably 60% of qb's collecting paychecks from NFL teams.I don't understand why local sports fans insist the team sign Kaepernick. It's not like Kaepernick did anything after that great SB run. He put up terrible stats, his teams regularly won 1 or 2 games in the Tomsula and Kelly regimes, and he generally showed no inclination to throw the football to his own team. It was like he regressed terribly since his SB run. I firmly believe he is still unemployed because he cannot play football. It has nothing to do with any political stance or backlash. He just cannot play football anymore. He's not any good.

I don't think Kap is great, probably bottom tier starter to good backup, but that is better than almost all back ups plus Cody Kessler/Blake Bortles, the Sanchize.

I also remember his last workout with the Ravens a few years ago, apparently he didn't want to play backup and only wanted to start in this league. If that's the case then he's just making it more difficult on himself. He's not a starter anymore. He's a backup. He needs to park his ego at the door and accept a second or third string position.
I wonder what he's getting, because that marketing campaign hit big and then like dropped off the face of the earth. I don't think I've seen a Nike ad since that ad debuted.You get the whole package with Kaepernick on and off the field, and at this point the cons outweigh the pros for most teams.
Conversely, I'm sure Kaepernick is doing just fine off the field and part of the marketing is him not actually playing in the NFL. He also has the legal side he is still trying. I'm just not sure the financial incentive is there for him to play for backup money.
