Oso planning to go pro
Shocking that an NFL team won't sign a mediocre scramble 32 year old quarterback who hasn't played in 3 years, who doesn't shut up, is a distraction to teammates and a complete media circus.
Apparently the NFL demanded that jesign a waiver not to sue the NFL in the future. Question is, did his team know of this beforehand?
LOL. Sure. He wasn't blackballed. He's just bad, as opposed to all the other back ups out there, and he's "uppity."
He opted out of his contract with the 49ers, did many stupid things that alienated law enforcement and those that support law enforcement...but sure...don’t mention those things. He is a cherub.
Kobe raped a woman, admitted "I understand why she thought it was rape". Played for years.Roethlisberger has raped/assaulted a couple people...still playing.But where some controversial socks and kneel and you are blacklisted. Says a lot.
SNF player introductions....my son and I have a theory that there is no better combination of picture, voice and school than "Bryan Bulaga....Iowa"
For some, it was A-OK for the NFL to run an obvious three-ring circus (and likely scam) yesterday, and for others it was A-OK for Kaepernick to run his own circus.As for how good, bad or mediocre he is (or was), that's up for debate. In his last season, 2016, he ranked 17th in passer rating among qualifiers, just behind Russell Wilson, Andy Dalton and Alex Smith, and just ahead of Tyrod Taylor, Philip Rivers and Carson Palmer. He was 13th in TD% and 6th in INT%. His QBR was 21st. He also ran for 468 yards, averaging 6 yards a carry.Statistically, he was a middle-of-the-pack QB, which certainly supports the belief of those who say he's "mediocre."Although he had slipped some from the level he played to lead the Niners to two straight NFC title games (and a Super Bowl), IMHO he wasn't a bad QB. We've all seen "bad" QBs, and most don't throw only 4 INTs in 331 passes over 12 games.On talent alone, he was good enough to start for some teams that do field bad QBs, and he obviously was good enough to be the No. 1 backup on pretty much any team.With him being 3 years removed from competition, no team would sign him to start now -- even if he didn't come with a three-ring circus. He doesn't seem the type who would accept a backup role, though I haven't seen him quoted about that either way. Meanwhile, who could blame NFL teams for wanting to avoid dealing with the circus -- as well as likely fan backlash -- for a backup-level QB?The anthem kneeling and the activism never bothered me. But I did not like the way he made generalizations suggesting that all cops were bad, the way he wore socks depicting cops as pigs, etc. He was an imperfect spokesperson for his own cause (but then again we're all imperfect), and like the rest of us he has to deal with the consequences of his words and deeds.It's been an interesting story, that's for sure.
I’m fine if Daniel plays, but there could not be an odder time to put him in. So typical of Nagy to make a weird decision like that.
It also looked like to me Mitch was crying or fighting back tears when Nagy was talking to him.
I'm guessing it was the severe pain from the "hip injury"
My gut reaction without overthinking this take...Nagy decided to pull Mitch late in a national tv game, with the outcome semi-decided, to throw Mitch under the bus to save his own butt. I can not come up with any other good reason for it at that particular time. There's no chance Mitch was hurt, no eff'n way.
