Adrian Peterson, Tyreek Hill, Ezekiel Elliot, Deshaun Watson, they got second chances because they were good.

Ray Rice, Chad Wheeler, Greg Hardy, those guys didn’t get second chances because they weren’t good enough anymore to be worth the hassle.

It’s really pretty simple.

If Kap was good enough, he’d have a job.

So being a wife beater is ok if it gets your team to the super bowl, got it.

More or less, yes.

Didn’t Kap make a super bowl? So beating women is not as bad as calling out racial injustice. Pretty much what Doyle is saying.

Why do you guys insist on doing this?

I made no comment on whether what Kap did was as bad as what anyone else did. I made no comment AT ALL about that.

Yet, you want to imply that I’m saying kneeling for the anthem is worse then domestic violence.

It’s REALLY annoying and it makes it look like you have nothing else to offer. That you really have no argument beyond an emotional response.

It’s really really simple-Kap would be in the NFL if he was good enough to be worth the blowback a team would get for signing him.

That’s the bottom line.

You can have whatever opinion you want about whether that blowback is warranted or not.

Its because virtue signaling is all they have. Bottom line is Kaep sucks at QB or he would be playing football. The NFL is a business and if he was good enough to be in the limelight, he would be. Sometimes the answer is so simple that others just can't accept it without injecting their feelz into it, like their feelings are important. News flash, they're not when it comes to the bottom line.

Please your pussy is so sensitive you can’t acknowledge race has a bearing in Kap not playing football, yet others are fragile. Fuck off snowflake

Yep you nailed it. Which is exactly the point of the article. In a league starving for QBs a guy that would be at worst a very good backup was essentially blacklisted by a certain demographic for the sin of high lighting racial injustices in this country. Yet that same demographic will gladly cheer for a woman beater or a pussy grabber - as long as they don’t bring up race and are “good enough”. That’s essentially the point of the article- yet the majority of the responses are on how bad Kap is as a QB, which is complete BS compared to what else is in the league. But I don’t expect much acknowledgement of that from most on here - because it makes them feel same and secure to say it isn’t about race, just performance.

People seem to misremember that Kaepernick went from the Superbowl to NCF championship to protesting to being cut in back to back to back years. That's not what happened. After the '13 NFCC his play significantly regressed in '14 and then he was so god awful in '15 that he was benched for Blaine Gabbert halfway through the season. How bad do you have to be to get benched for Gabbert? Then the following preseason is when all of the protesting started when BTW he was still a back up to Gabbert.

Another thing that never comes up that IMO has a lot of do with no one signing him is how much money did he want back then and does he want now? We know that he walked away from ~$15M when he opted out of the final year for his contract with SF in '17, so one can presume that he thought he should still be a starter in the league or at least make starter like money. If you have a guy who hasn't been any good for 3 years asking for starter like money then you're probably not going to bring him in to begin with. Then add in the head ache and media shit storm that's going to come in with him, and you're not going to touch him.

As for now, it's been reported that he wanted $20M to play for the AAF. No fucking way even a bad NFL GM will give him that kind of money. Can you imagine how pissed off we'd be if Ballard signed a back QB who hadn't been in the league for 5 years and played well for 8 instead of putting that cap hit towards LT, WR, CB, etc.?
