Steve Young was a good running QB who played at a high level... difference was he developed his pocket passing to elite levels, whereas guys like Vick and Griffin and Kaepernick never did. Wilson comes the closest of the current crop of guys... but Seattle may actually cause him to die on the field with the O-lines they've trotted out there.
S'ok with me.
Yeah, it is amazing that only about 4-5 years ago these guys were supposed to be what the future of the NFL was going to look like.
We've been hearing that shit for almost 30 years and it's never going to come true. And with the rules favoring passing what are the odds of a running QB being as successful as a pocket passer.
The game hasn't changed in that direction, and QB's have to make their living on THEIR side of the LOS.
Neither of them are well liked and that is hurting their chances too.
I actually support Kaepernick's causes, but I also think he's a huge problem for your team if he's starting. You're falling for numbers over film. Blaine Gabbert had decent numbers in 2015. He was still a crappy QB. Kaep was a bad QB in 2016. He was a bad QB in 2015. He's been exposed.
I do too. He has started a lot of conversations. I came full circle on this and thought he was doing it for attention for himself. But he has put his money/time where his mouth is. I cannot and will not disrespect that.
I think Kaep is a winner especially when you consider his actual starting experience. He is still a young QB in terms of actual starting experience so he has room to grow to get better with good quality coaching. He has a lot of tools you can work with and win with. Anyway you look at it 16 tds to 5 interceptions is good, and it's not just what he did last year but the circumstances he did it in and the big games that he did actually play in.
He has a losing record, so he's not a winner and he's not really a starting quality QB. He could be a backup if a team that fits his style needed one. But nobody will touch him at this point if they haven't already at least inquired and evidently nobody has even called his agent.
Give me Tim Tebow any day over these 2 guys...
LOL.......Tebow couldn't play QB in the lingerie league his ship has sailed.........he might be the worst QB not named Manziel in the last 20 years!
He went about this protest all the wrong way. Nobody even remembers what he protested about.
I disagree it did precisely what he wanted it to do and to his credit he knew it would. He may not have thought it would cost him a career but he knew it was going to spur conversation and it did. And lots of people, most in fact, know why he was kneeling trhey just don't like it because they think it's disrespectful. And to a degree it is, but the issue is larger.
African Americans fought in every war for this country but in the CONSTITUTION we were listed as 3/5 humans.
I thought it was 2/5.
That my favotite movie line of all time. It's a great scene!
From the rumours, Krappydick wants to be a starter on a starter's pay packet
His agent said in an interview that isn't true and that he wanted a shot to compete and would accept a backup role if he didn't win the job. How much money he wants is still a mystery and we may never know what he is asking for. If it's over mid range backup cheddar he's staying unemployed.
And see below..........
Why he opted out of HIS CONTRACT is beyond me ? The 49ers were loyal to him , the fan base didn't like him ever since the Super Bowl lose.
I don't get it either,for two reasons.
First he'd have a job and would be copping a lot of dough. But the 49ers could also not renew based on the structure of the deal. If you Google it was a strange contract that was essentially a series of one year deals contingent on both parties agreeing to continue.
SF is probably the most tolerant area in the USA, the Bay Area in general too. If there was anyplace he would garner more support I'd like to know where that is because I've never heard of it.
He could have stayed put.
IMO a big mistake was not letting everyone know this was a one year protest until after the fact.
What about the other players that kneeled?
