I don't see any owner willing to alienate a large segment of his fanbase and cause long-term friction with them for a temporary stopgap situation that will most likely end up as disastrous as that Freeman situation.
Kaep will likely be signed DURING the season. Here's why...
- Thread starter NYC Rebel
- Start date
DIMES
Retired troll
So teams don't care about the best chance for winning?

Apparently not when it comes with financial loss and bad publicity.
Kaep being their "best chance" isn't enough for teams to look the other way

The guy who started the season over him last year still has a 2nd string job this season tho

As of May of this year, Kap had one of the highest selling jerseys in the league and was one of the highest selling jerseys last season to boot.

His #1 wr was Jeremy Kerley you fukking idiot. Run game was ass, so was the o-line. There's qbs in the nfl who have never even avg 186 yards a game

which is why you can't really hold out hope for him to sign, even now. He's gotta learn the playbook, get some sort of continuity with the team, etc. His best bet woulda been that Miami job. After that, you're only gonna sign guys you know or guys who understand what offense you run. Unfortunately, Kaep's main coaches were either green themselves and not in a position of power to hire him or influence a hire or gone altogether. His OC during his peak is now a TE coach in Baltimore.
He's not going to play even if he wa ssigned today. Earliest he would play is like mid season till end of the season. Takes a long time to learn the playbook and get the system down, build rapport with teammates and such.
He's done.
This averages to what, 2 tds for every interception? He actually had 4 for every interception so

Jerseys? Get real...
What about single game ticket holders?
What about season ticket holders?
What about Club box and luxury holders?
What bout their sponsors?
Jerseys don't make up the the vast amount revenue
In a few sentences, Giants co-owner John Mara might have perfectly summed up the Colin Kaepernick situation from a team's perspective.
"All my years being in the league, I never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue," Mara told The MMQB. "If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game. It wasn't one or two letters. It was a lot. It's an emotional, emotional issue for a lot of people, more so than any other issue I've run into."

...on the otherside of the pond
Why don't you ask Mara to read those emails and see if those people are worth catering to.Jerseys? Get real...

I bet those emails carried a warm, clean and chummy spirit.
You're co-signing a coward.

Lol you believe that if a team signs Kap, that they are going to lose a vast amount of "support" and revenue
???I bet the Giants fans who would stop supporting the team WOULD NOT be missed

you knowing better than the teams owners...you guys have go to get real with yourselves....the league is NOT GOING to risk waving bye to a large part of their customer base to appease a few people who think that it's the "right thing to do" for an average qb.
What part of this don't yall get???
He's average and brings controversy and negative attention with him..right or wrong...that's wha it is....other QBs, who are average or below...don't bring the same thing. Right or wrong...that's what it is...
say what you want...teams are playing it safe...so I get that side of it.

not that good... how many other "not that good" and even "good" and even "great" qbs have never played in a super bowl? let alone multiple playoff runs.. let alone his td-int ratio last year
nikka out here playing on the worst team in the nfl without him.. a team that still looks shytty as hell this year.. and that's what you gonna judge him on? tom brady couldn't win 8 games with the niners
but ok fine... judge him on his team.... but then when he plays excellent, you'll turn around and say "it was all the defense and coaching"
so he does good, he gets no credit... he plays for a shytty team, it's all his fault his numbers ain't great
meanwhile the highest paid guy in the nfl is this guy:
meanwhile the bills just signed this guy:
but kaep ain't signed because he's not better than any other QB in the NFL
