The Buffalo Bills are single-handily trying to win Kaepenick his collusion Case

[K-Apps]

look how incompetent this franchise has been handily since this past off-season:



Just this QB depth chart brehs:


Traded Tyrod because they didn’t he was a franchise QB (fine whatever), but then instead of signing Bridgewater as a possible bridge QB. They decide to sign AJ McCarron you was never proven to be even a decent backup with the Bengals.

In the draft, they used some the picks they accumulated to draft Josh Allen, a great athlete with a strong arm and has never been accurate in any level of football

They thought Peterman was the best option going into the season and trade McCarron to the Raiders. Peterman shows you why he will be a future All-Pro in the AAF with another pathetic showing Week 1 vs the Ravens.

Instead of cutting Peterman, they start Allen who showed some decent skills, but is very raw and looked very overwhelmed because he’s playing for the worst offensive roster in the NFL.

Now Allen is hurt, Anderson was signed and got hurt Monday night. Who you they sign: MATT BARKLEY WHO STATLINE READS 8 TD-18 INTS

I’m basically ranting as a Bills fan sick of the incompetency showed by a clueless owner in Pegula and McDermott, a conservative, defensive coach stuck in 1985 thinking defense and running game wins football game.


Kaepernick and his lawyers should be :snack: at this shyt how Bills are bad and incompetent at picking and signing QBs and how pathetic and clownish their offense is. Bills are on pace to be one of the worst offenses in NFL history

Why are the bills so comically bad since the kelly days?

The weather is depressing for sure

 

[RammerJammer]

Not single handily, the Jaguars are proving Kaep's point as well

Not really. Coughlin can just tell you that he went to the AFC title game with Bortles so suck a dikk.



There just isn’t a reason why the Bills wouldn’t at least try him out. The Bills don’t have a reason to tank so why be so willing to wave the white flag on the year so fast?

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Matt Barkley still in the league

 

[King Poetic]

what a waste of a defense up in buffalo

i'll hate to be a defensive player on that team, knowing you only have 3 plays or less depending on who's throwing the picks that week that you will be on the field 40 of the 60 minutes of a game

then you have Shady who you know he's pissed, cause teams playing 8 in the box every game

Legally, none of this helps Kaep at all. Let's manage expectations realistically.

He has to prove that teams and/or the league are communicating and conspiring with one another
to deny him an employment opportunity in the NFL.


Colin Kaepernick’s Collusion Claim: Does He Have a Case?

By MICHAEL MCCANN October 15, 2017

According to multiple sources, free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick has filed a grievance against the NFL for collusion. In March, I wrote a legal analysis of this scenario occurring and explained how it would work for Kaepernick and the NFL. The March article details the relevant procedures at play and how they are governed by the collective bargaining agreement.

Here’s an update, and 16 key points to stress.

1. Collusion requires actual cooperation between teams (or cooperation between a team or teams and the league)

Here’s a scenario that has probably played out in recent months: Officials on one NFL team meet to discuss the team’s need for a quarterback. Kaepernick is one player they discuss. The officials then decide, without the involvement of any other team, to not sign Colin Kaepernick. Instead, the team signs a quarterback who, by objective metrics, isn’t as good as Kaepernick. These officials even admit to taking such an approach because they believe that Kaepernick would be a distraction. They also openly disagree with his political views and are offended by his kneeling during the national anthem.

Sounds suspicious, right? It’s not, at least not for purposes of collusion.

The scenario I just described is not collusion because it involves only one team. To be sure, those officials might regret not signing the “better” player. That’s not the point. It is lawful for one team to not want Kaepernick on grounds that team officials don’t like him. Along those lines, no NFL team is legally obligated to sign Kaepernick.

For Kaepernick to prove collusion, he would need to show that two or more teams, or the league office and at least one team, conspired in some way to deny him an opportunity to play in the NFL.

You wont like the reason they give you...

as long as peterman is on a roster Kaep should win

NO GM in this league can justify having him over Kaep

Oh no doubt, but I speaking as a fan of a team with an abysmal offense and Kaep if nothing less even with a limited knowledge of their system can least be a threat as a runner. The fact they think Anderson and noodle arm Barkley are good stand-ins for Allen is borderline insulting to the fans and players of the Bills. I would ok with it even they were tanking, but the way the defense has played tells they want to be competitive even though it was suppose to be a rebuilding year. The whole Beane/McDermott has done a poor job in planning/building of what they want the Bills to be year-to-year is a big reason why they are in this situation. The fact that Kaepernick was finally posed to McDermott today is a big indication of that.

Fan-wise, you are completely on point.

You know how around here we get all hyped that the legal system is going to strike a blow in favor of Kaep
and righteousness in the case, when in reality, he has a very difficult case to prove. I'd just like to see us fully-aware of what can be
expected.
