Sick of hearing about Colin kaepernick 

Post#1 » by mszymko » Fri Aug 4, 2017 10:39 pm

Politics aside, I'm sick of hearing about Colin kaepernick. Who says he's being black balled? He just hasn't got a job YET, when he signs in the next few weeks can we all just shut up and stop discussing it? Clearly Romo and Cutler are better options for ANY team looking for a QB replacement currently, why don't I hear people calling for them to get a new job?

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Let's be clear: Kap is a backup caliber QB in the league, fringe starter on the right team. He is being blackballed, and the Ravens essentially made it clear.

It is absolutely not clear that Cutler is a better option, just because he's a more traditional QB. If anything, Cutler's on-field pouting and finger-pointing are likely a bigger distraction than Kap deciding to be a vocal activist. But hey, that's the Fins' call, good luck with that.

His story right now is a lot more interesting than anything going on in the NFL, save this Branden Albert saga.

The ravens owner made it clear on social media. Standing up for the bruthas against the man is right. Police brutality is real.
