Twitter: Would you be in favor of Kaep backing up Dak?

[DFWJC]

Kaepernick is a career 60% passer with a 89 rating. While not great it belies the narrative bandied about.

If he agrees to not become a distraction then I see no issue. People need to get over their politics.

60% passing and a 89 rating are not really great arguments FOR a player, Fuzzy.

One man's blackballed, is another man's karma.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

NO. I'd rather have Romo and people know how I feel about that.

 

[CF74]

No.....

 

[65fastback2plus2]

only if he learned to sing the National Anthem!

dont worry...when the nfl expands nfl games to north korea, they'll make sure and force him to do it there.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Is he an RKG?

100%

spends more time and money helping others than any nfl player I can think of.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

He had 16 TDs/4 INTs last year on the sorry 49ers squad. He'd have more weapons, the best OL to protect him and a strong running game. So I think he'd succeed here if Dak went down for a game or two.

using your thinker...i like it.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I wouldn't, but it has nothing to do with his politics, and just his skill level and the amount of distraction he'd cause. But all of this is moot, Jerry would not sign him for political reasons.

I realize what I'm about to say is very, overly critical, but what bothered me about his initial position, was that he really wasn't involved with any charities before. It's his money and his time, and he can certainly do what he wants with both, and he certainly should not care what I think, but if you have the resources he has, and the platform, don't just complain about a problem do something about it. Donate money to improve inter city schools, start after school programs to keep kids out of trouble, donate your time to programs that allow police officers and inner city kids to interact in a positive manner, so the two groups don't see each other as threats. There was so much he could have been doing, besides not standing. And if he was doing some of this prior, and decided to not stand, in order to bring attention to his charities, then I'd be 100% behind him. But when he was asked, and could only respond with what he planned to do in the future.

At least he followed through with what he said, which is why I don't have a personal problem with him, I just don't think he's a good QB.

For a backup QB they certainly are; they compare favorably with every backup QB we have had since Kosar. That goes double when you looks at Noodles stats.

I am looking to get better not form a Young Republicans chapter.

What?

 

[cml750]

What?

If you would have spent any time on the now closed political site @Reality created during the election (Punndits.com), you would understand his comment.

 

[haleyrules]

lol! You ain't kiddin! Considering ole Jerry boys recent gestures toward the Police...it would be, ah, highly unlikely he signs Colin anytime soon. .

 

[EST_1986]

If he can win games in the event Dak cannot play then yes.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

What?

I want a better football team instead of another chapter of young republicans.

The Cowboys have been pretty open about the possibility of signing a veteran QB to back up Dak Prescott. And while the official position in Dallas seems to be, "Not a fit", Archer wonders why arguably the best available free agent QB wouldn't be a good fit in Dallas.

There has been plenty of discussion across the league about Colin Kaepernick not having a job yet. I asked around on Kaepernick, and the answer was, “Not a fit.” Why not? There would not be a significant investment required to sign him. His game would seem to be more in line with what Prescott does than what Moore does. Of course, Moore has the blessings of offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, so that helps. Kaepernick went 1-10 last year with the San Francisco 49ers, but he had 16 touchdown passes and four interceptions. Kaepernick is still young enough and has big-game experience.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

No circus. I like Kap and think he'd make a better backup than Moore. But this team needs a nice stress free environment. Turmoil has destroyed similar Dallas teams too often. TO, Tank and Pacman, Hardy. Always blows up in their face.

 

[MileyDancer]

Allah, NO!

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I'll take him. I'd trust him a lot more in 2-3 games than I would Moore. But if it's any extended period of time that Dak is out we need to give Romo a call.
