Current Events > Kaepernick is a starting-caliber quarterback in Madden 21 lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.pcgamesn.com/madden-nfl-21/kaepernick

can't make this up

---

As he should be

---

EA tryna make up for the backlash of adding those insane ads after review periods ended in their UFC game

---

Does he kneel during the National Anthem

Mitchell trubisky is a starting caliber qb in real life. Crazier things happen.

---

he has a higher rating than Cam and Tannehill

---

81 overall, talk about getting shafted on the rating...

---

They added him just now after the game came out or was he always in?

---

well that's silly

Yeah, people act like being a starting-caliber QB means you're good.
In fact, many or even most starting quarterbacks are not.

All EA has to go on for ratings is how Kaepernick played on the field, which was generally pretty good and definitely better than some one like Trubs.

Just added him.

Interesting timing, hasnt Madden been getting a lot of backlash about the game that just came out. Maybe this is their way for people to stop talking bad about the game.

Let's not act like Kap wasn't a decent qb even during his last years playing.
While this is clearly EA going, "see, we're woke!!!!!1!!", Kap should still be a player in todays nfl.

We want a game that works!
Okay, fine! Well put in Kaepernick doing the black power fist. Now shut up!
I mean, thats nice, but what about the bugs?
Ugh, so ungrateful!

I don't know football players very well. But it was really obvious that a large group of people were ready and willing to believe the first tweet that said he sucked after the controversy. People wanted him to just be a sack of garbage at every aspect of his life.

he was a bottom 15 starter after he had that one good run. He was benched for Gabbert.

but on topic - his last season in madden he was like a 71. 4 years later without playing a down hes an 81? And his best skill, running, would be severely hampered given his age.

this is a virtue signal.

on top of him being a social justice hypocrite taking money from Nike as they exploit cheap labor in Asia.

But not this. That's definitely selling Cam way too short.

He had a game where he completed 7 passes out of 47 attempts and tossed 4 interceptions. Against the Cardinals.

---

If they are being realistic 75% of his passes should be way off the mark. Dude was a great running QB but in his last couple seasons he couldnt throw for shit.

The new Madden is bullshit. EA hasnt made a good Madden game since maybe 2013.

Hell, the last GOOD NFL GAME was ESPN 2k5

2k football was fantastic I nearly burned out my Dreamcast when it came out

You're highlighting a single game doesn't help against my theory. All players have bad days. This just proves you're not above cherry picking to support your claims. Still not saying he was good. This is just a terrible way to prove it. Just makes me believe you didn't use his overall average because it would work against you.

He followed it up by not audibling from a run play because the Rams knew he sucked

Two of them were for TDs

Reminder that this is just publicity to make up for this atrocity:

I have zero issue with him being in the game. He is a notable free-agent, even if he doesn't have a team.

His rating is kinda bullshit though.

I am a fan, and I have watched him in multiple games, and i'm in about 3 fantasy football leagues per year which is an ideal way to track stats, watch a wide variety of games and players play, and become familiar with more players in general. He had many more bad games than good. He doesn't have the ability to have a dominant final drive in the game. He's an average at best passer, because his speed was supposed to make up for it, but his smarts as a quarterback to lead the game and have good enough field vision failed him, and that's why he inevitably became a 2nd string.

I wanna disagree with you. Kap was always good. The thing is he didnt have a good coach behind him. (With the exception of Harbaugh) Plus he didnt have all his weapons with him. You add those factors in, and you can see why his numbers went down. He is good. He just didnt have a coach behind him.

nah, guy was bad. Harbaugh was smart enough to mask his deficiencies. Then harbaugh was smart enough to bail the inevitable sinking ship that was Kap.

Lmao @ CE discussing a sport they have no idea about. Kaps been good, bad coaching and having no weapons on your team made his stats dip. You dont get to the super bowl by not being good. You guys gotta keep talking about anime waifus and video games. Football is not a discussion for you, leave it to the big boys, lil mans, lol.

Only real takeaway from this is that they did Cam (and Kyler Murray) dirty. Putting them below the likes of Carr and Tannehill is absurd

I don't know why y'all keep posting one play like it's supposed to mean something

Thats b.s. that you need to be good to get to a superbowl. Rex Grossman made it to a superbowl. He was never good. And Kap was awful in his last season in the league. Teams realized he couldn't read a defense and destroyed him because of it.

People still don't seem to understand why cherry picking is bad for their side. It's the most obvious tactic of the bias. Mabus cleaned his up at least and honestly, he got too much into detail, so I backed out. If I can get around the argument by noticing tells and identifying habits and shady tactics. I'mma just step back and try to learn more about specifics of the arguments. So far nothing gas really pursued me one way or the other. I just see one side still resorting to shady bias tactics. But that doesn't mean that sides wrong. Just means they got more people with alternative motives.

He should be in the game, sure.

Having a better overall rating, after not playing for 4 years and not being very good when he last played, than half the starting QBs in the league, including last year's first overall pick who had a decent year on a bad team, is stupid and reeks of trying to get social justice points

This is all true.

I appreciate the good that he is doing for a community and movement and hope that he continues to do good things but as far as football is concerned, he was a questionable to bad player, and that was 5 years ago. This rating is a joke.

His last 3 years he took sacks on 10% of his dropbacks. He averaged 6.9 YPA. He had a 59% completion percentage. He didn't throw many interceptions, but was still very inefficient and ineffective as a passer between the I completions, the lack of deep passes, and the insane amount of sacks.

---

Everything started because he was sitting on the bench for the national anthem because he was throwing a fit he wasnt the starter anymore. I guess signing a $120+ million contract and then being benched for Blaine Gabbert can mess a person up.

He stopped throwing picks because his offense went one read after he threw 4 INTS (two of them TDs) against the Cardinals
