Well, here's one spot where the rubber meets the road. I think Kaepernick's jersey made the NFL and their apparel providers a lot of money last year. The Jersey was in such high demand that the Smithsonian had to pay top dollar to acquire one for their museum. Details from the article posted below chart the 'rehabilitation' of Kaepernick's reputation. It doesn't mention anything about tire swings and reps, but Kaepernick's social media feed routinely updates anyone who wants to know on the distribution and repetitions of his various core exercises. Clefty predicts he will play again in the NFL, and probably play reasonably well.

I will not watch a game if he is involved. I will not renew my NFL Ticket if he is a Packer. I would not pay for tickets or a new jersey this year.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

Well you better do it now because there are more players in the NFL who feel the same way he does. People will always have opinions you don't agree with. Tear that shit up now!C.H.U.D.Comment

How in the hell can anyone think he is being mistreated? It's fine for teams to pass on other players that would be a locker room distraction, but not this POS? He's getting what he deserves. He made a grown up decision, now he has to live with it.Comment

The common practice has been that if you are a great player, you will play, unless you are behind bars. Society is careening along a new path right now, and it's possible in the not too far future that you'll see players who run afoul of popular opinion getting tossed in response to advertiser boycotts.Comment

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

Dog killer Vick got another chance. Kid beater Peterson got another chance. Women beaters Joe Mixon and Caleb Brantley were drafted this year.Originally posted by Rutnstrut View Post
Kneeling during the national anthem doesn't even come close to those. It doesn't hurt anybody or any thing. Teams that would be bettered by his talent on the roster should try to sign him.2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

Teams would have a backup that is in the spotlight and a sideshow. He is shit.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

It's not just the business and politics which I understand but don't concern me too much. He's talented but clearly a head case. He's had some strings of seriously poor play on top of his diva needs. You almost have to tailor the whole offense for him which is problematic. Too much risk for the reward at this point. Maybe some team gets desperate enough to take the risk but they'll not be happy about it.Comment

If not for Green Bay, he'd have been done already.Comment

I don't think he was all that great when he was "good". I just think GB's shitty defense made him look all world.Comment

He took an offense to a Super Bowl and nearly won. Makes him at least Trent Dilfer who lasted for years, even though Dilfer's skill set was problematic. He stood in the pocket, was functionally mobile, but was inaccurate and made bad reads.Originally posted by vince View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

the nfl hadn't seen the read option and didn't have an answer for it. it's in the surprise/trick play category now. it's been caught up to. mm/rodgers have even used it now and then with success.
