So the fact he quit on his own accord doesn't matter?


Why would it?

The Bengals can decide to not pick up free agent Kaep. The Jaguars can decide to not pick up free agent Kaep.

The 49ers can't make a deal with the Bengals to not take him. The Bengals and the Jaguars can't make a deal to mutually not hire Kaep.

Maybe he just isn't worth picking up.

Ever think of that?

Holy fucking god, you have GOT to be kidding me.

Lol wow, what a fucking idiot. That guy couldn't have been more open if the other team didn't show up for work that day.

Lol, I saw this

His career is over, simply because of his selfish political opinions. Good riddance.

He literally tried to be a snowflake and asked himself what the most serious way to publicly disrespect the country (plus the racist message) was, and he's mad that nobody wants to hire him?

I can't wait until he loses the case and becomes some loser who just lurks social media

And to the above poster, you just compared a team player with krappernik (the opposite)


Probably has more to do with him just being a lousy quarterback. About 1/2 the NFL is doing the same shit and are not being cut or threatened to be cut.

I'd imagine they also didn't have an audible lined up for that play, so Kaepernick didn't bother to try to read the defense. They were gonna run that play come hell or high water.

Which brings other problems.

1) The linebackers can see that Kaepernick isn't looking at the defense
2) This tells them to not check out of the corner blitz because they're obviously running the ball.

7 in the box with an obvious corner blitz would tell you not to run the ball when you are on the 1. lol

Kaep reads defenses like Mayweather reads books.

I wouldn't call the corner blitz that obvious. He isn't showing the blitz until right before the snap. It's obvious to us, but unless he's looking to his right about a second before snapping the ball, he wouldn't see it.

The obvious errors here are

1. Probably not having an audible lined up
- a) Whoever is calling plays should pretty much always give the QB an option if the defense looks bad for the primary play
- b) If Kaep ISN'T calling plays, it still speaks to the play caller's lack of preparation and/or Kaep's lack of prep work to be familiar enough with the offense to have two or more plays lined up (and/or the play caller's lack of confidence in Kaep's ability to call 1 play and successfully audible to another).
And again, there's a possibility that they didn't have another play called to audible to. That is on Kaep and/or the play caller.

2. Kaep not seeing the uncovered X receiver
- a) Come on, man

I imagine he's only doing this because he already knows he'll never play in the NFL again and this is a last-ditch effort to score a big paycheck.

That's my guess. You can't embarrass white people and then go right back to doing what you were doing before. No one believed he was getting away with that for a second. There are no second chances for black celebs like Colin.

You can't embarrass your BOSS and go right back to doing what you were doing. Them being white is irrelevant.

there is no defender on the receiver in the bottom right corner, meaning he could have and/or should have changed the play to throw the ball to that receiver instead of running the ball which the defense was clearly expecting

also of note the play immediately after that one was a safety iirc

Looking at that .gif again, the receiver at the top of the screen is also open. His defender WALKS AWAY FROM HIM to help with the run defense.

That's a late blitz reveal, though. Lots of QBs miss that. It'd be helpful to show the playclock in that gif, too.
