Poll of the Day > 2019 and media outlets still talking about kaepernick coming back to the nfl

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lol. Dude isnt coming back unless a team is desperate

Even if a team is desperate (Jets), they won't take on that headache and sideshow. He's not worth it. He priced himself out of playing in most spots and burned every bridge everywhere else when he did have the chance

Yeah, I dont believe that it's simply the media circus that would surround him. It's also the fact that he's been out of the league for two years and his last year wasnt even good

What I've learned from this is that the NFL and their consumer base are A-OK with supporting rapists, woman-beaters, child abusers, and the like but don't you dare kneel during the anthem!

Which is funny because those flag- worshipping, knuckle dragging "patriots" fail to grasp that protest is one of the most American things you can do in this country.

The funny thing is I have absolutely no problem with the kneeling, and Im pretty sure I fit the demographic that should.

Its annoying because I feel like at this point his fan base doesnt realize hes done exactly what CTLM said. Hes priced himself out. His playing ability isnt sufficient enough to justify the baggage that comes with him as a player.

I actually dont care about the kneeling thing at all. I just dont believe that's the reason teams arent picking him up

eventually there will come a point when a team sucks so much that the choices are either sign him or cease to exist

it's not happened yet but i feel like the Jets and browns are the two most likely teams to just fade into the abyss if they don't start improving

being a meme team doesn't attract sponsors and it doesn't really help fill the seats when everyone knows You'll lose

i said this already but how is Antonio brown worth it when he cried so much over something as stupid as new helmets? he angered his team over that to such a level they fired him before he could step on the field in week 1

This sentence alone proves you just need to let the adults talk.

Also, no to your first sentence as well. If a team gets that bad (aka the Dolphins) it just be more beneficial to tank the season and get the draft picks. Which for a team like them that already has five 1st round picks over the next two years it might not be a bad idea.

I'm surprised Antonio Brown's still in the NFL considering he got released from the raiders for throwing a tantrum and screaming about being unable to wear his old helmet

I don't know about being priced out. He has said he'd re-enter the league as a back-up QB. I'm sure he's not expecting starter pay if he's willing to be a back-up.

It might not be priced out in the sense that hes asking more money than hes worth. I think most teams are avoiding him because his value doesnt exceed the risk of alienating a lot of their fanbase.

Naw not really. Plenty of solid college QBs that would play for cheap. Also plenty of backup QBs out there.

That I get, but it's funny to me how those same fans aren't as outraged by rapists and wife-beaters, that's all I'm getting at. It's hypocrisy

And don't get me wrong, I watch the NFL. But if Kaepernick somehow landed on the team I watch I wouldn't stop watching any more than some criminal asshole being on the team would make me stop.

Idk people never really liked Ray Lewis even though he still had a roster spot. And ray rice never even played again. I domt think people really are cool with that either

Oh yeah I get what youre saying and yeah its hypocritical. I liked Bill Burrs stance where he talked shit about them playing those No More commercials on abuse and was like you need play this shit in the locker rooms, dont turn it around on us like were the ones doing it.

first off the browns would need a tom brady tier quarterback to make the playoffs this year and second if someone's being a whiny baby about the new helmets to the point where his team would rather make him someone else's problem before they can even play one game this season

why would you sign him? does Antonio brown just have the right to be an absolute dick or something because he's good

Basically yeah. But also, I have a feeling he'll be on his best behavior with the patriots

i wouldn't exactly call baker mayfield the next tom brady....

also the fact Antonio Brown drove the oakland raiders to madness yet is acting on his best behavior with the patriots should set off some red flags

you don't go from screaming about how You'll never wear those stupid new helmets and will only play if you wear the old helmet to "Okay cool these helmets are nice! i can deal with this" just because you changed teams

it makes it seem like you played that other team like a fiddle and orchestrated this as some bizarre puppet master knowing that the patriots would surely scoop you up once the raiders lost their patience with you

nowhere online have i seen anyone else who thinks this year is cleveland's year

This year is Cleveland's year, for sure. Mayfield is the Second Coming
---

I never said anywhere that the browns were going to the SB lol. But there's a solid chance they're making the playoffs. They were almost .500 last year and lost a lot of close games to really good teams. A lot of teams start off slow. Patriots last year for one. There are a number of reasons your argument breaks down though not the least of which its apparent once again that you know jack shit other than the qb. It's obvious you're one of those guys that just judges a team by the qb and the what the first two games of the season are like without having any in depth knowledge of the game

Most fans didn't care about him or his kneeling until he started whining about not being able to get on a team. Same thing with those other things you mentioned, most people don't support those things either, not sure why you would think that they do.

He's still better than 60% of the quarterbacks playing right now, of course it's news.

Dude, Mark Sanchez, Mike Glennon, Josh McCown and E.J. Manuel all got signed around the time Kaepernick was shopping for a contract, and he's as good as any of those players. Like Evil points out he's probably as good or better than half the QBs in the league currently. If he wasn't being blackballed, then why did the NFL settle the lawsuit with him?

Seriously, Mike fucking Glennon lol

Very debatable about him being better than half the QBs. Especially now, after being out of the nfl for over two years. But yeah, he probably wouldve been picked up if not for the media circus or if he was anywhere near as good as Antonio Brown is at his position. But also, there could be a multitude of potential reasons why they settled that didnt necessarily mean they were blackballing him. But even if they were, it likely wasnt a race issue and more of them trying not to piss off their viewers.

And if he was so sure they were blackballing him, he shouldnt have settled. Now, we'll never know for sure and neither will he

Even if he's not better, he's certainly good enough to play backup
