Jerry, Kraft, Mc Nair being deposed about Kaepernick

[TWOK11]

What's the downside?

No court can force any team to sign him, and any small chance there was of someone doing so willingly is probably gone now.

If he wasn't being blackballed before, he will be now.

I think Sean Salisbury said it the best about the situation. He said you have to understand where you live and if he is fit for some teams. A lot of teams don't run the same system that Kap is use to and the ones that do already have qbs in place. Take it for what it is worth.

 

[Animosity]

i hope someone just signs him already so all of this can settle down for good and we dont have to hear about kap 24/7

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Obviously he's well educated. But he seems naive for one and doesn't come across to me as someone who really understands what he's fighting for. I think he lacks logic in disposing the difference between public perception and the truth.

I really don't dislike the guy (at the same time I'm not the one who called him a moron either someone else did,) was a big fan of him coming into the league and I honestly thought he was going to be the next Romo like story.

Here's my problem with the Vick comment. Vick did something which was clearly wrong, he served his time and in my opinion that made him eligible to work a job like any other citizen who does something illegal and serves their time for it. Kaep situation is different because he didn't do anything wrong. The only reason Vick was brought back was because of what he could do on the football field. I think it's safe to say that when Vick returned he was a better player than Kaep is today. Kaepernick just isn't good enough at this point to be a starter in the NFL. Does he have the talent and skills to be a backup on some team? Yes. Do teams want backup QB's to take any part of the spotlight from anyone else on the team? No. Kaepernick isn't in the NFL for the same reason that Tim Tebow isn't in the NFL. And at this point I'd say that Tebow showed more promise considering once Kaepernick fell off he looked done. Tebow was somewhat successful (even though it was in an unorthodox way) his last stint as a starting QB.

I agree with MOST of what you said. But Tim Tebow is TERRIBLE. Should have NEVER been a first round pick. Does not BELONG on the field of professional sports. He is a great high school/college athlete...as were 1000s of other kids over time. End of discussion

By some of the reactions here, it seems like some don't know what a deposition is...

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like a pretty normal occurrence.

I'm not sure what you mean by normal, but a deposition is a big deal from anyone getting deposed.

Any statement given is on the record and could carry legal consequences. You don't just go in there and shoot the breeze, it's like testifying.

Mediocre QB. Not worth the space to talk about him.

But you added your space to this thread

Goodell is a bafoon getting the league sued sideways to Sunday.

But it's to be expected in a case like this, is what I'm saying. It's not outrageous, and overall won't have much consequence if there's evidence of collusion.

And even as someone who isn't bothered by the Kaep hysteria, I don't believe there's collusion here.

 

[aikemirv]

I am not sure why anyone thinks there is collusion. We have had entire teams kneel for the anthem without a negative word from their owners. Why would they care about Kapernick?He might have had a case before all these guys started kneeling, but not now.

If he wasn't being blackballed before, he will be now.

So again, what's the downside? He currently is not signed, the longer he is away from football, the less likely he will be signed. So what's the point in avoiding pissing off a bunch of billionaires who are already pissed?

 

[DenCWBY]

Opening the flood gates for more of this crap? No thanks!! He'll then be back on the sidelines preaching/posturing with more cameras and media than ever following him araound. Coaches and teammates will have to answer more questions about him with more distractions. Keep him off the field. Collusion or not, he's not going to bring any team anything positive that I can see.

I think he clearly knows what he's fighting for.

In before the thread disappears.

 

[canters]

I think Kap might have a case.

Putting aside for a moment how I feel about Kap's actions, it sure seems like there has been league-wide collusion to blacklist him.

He was offered a one year deal in Baltimore for $950,000, and turned it down, let that breathe. This would hurt his case, can we agree?

 

[Sydla]

LOL. What?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I laughed the other day when the headline was something like "Kaepernick finally signs with someone".....freakin' book deal....that moron probably can't even read

I've never heard someone reference to Kap as a moron......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Is this true?

That was a rumor started by the Daily Caller citing an unnamed NFL source.

It was refuted by Kaepernick's agents.

What a truly ignorant post. You should be ashamed.
