Colin Kaepernick has not played an NFL game since the 2016 season, but Madden is clearly still high on his ability. In the recently-released Madden 22, which hit stores Thursday, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is ranked as an 81 overall. Its a better mark than over half of the starting quarterbacks currently in the NFL. Justin Herbert, who won the Rookie of the Year award in 2020 after a sensational 4,336-yard, 31-touchdown season, is ranked below him as an 80. Kirk Cousins is a 79. Trevor Lawrence, considered to be the best quarterback prospect in years, is a 78. Kyler Murray, an MVP candidate, is only one point ahead of him at 82.

There are only 14 quarterbacks rated higher than Kaepernick in the game. He is not on a team and can only be accessed by changing rosters. Last year, Kaepernick returned to Madden after a four-year absence. He was ranked an 81 in that game, as well.

When he lost his job he was statistically better than most non-superstar quarterbacks. It might not be based in reality anymore, but it certainly was when he got unceremoniously blackballed from the league.

because even his final season he was still better than half the QBs in the league. Do you guys know how terrible some back ups are? Thats why there was such a fuss over this. He was better than a handful of starters and pretty much every back up.

I just looked it up, and he was an 81 in Madden 2016. That was also his last year in the league, so it looks like they are just rolling his rating over.

can you call it black balling when you're about to get an offer and your girlfriend tweets out that the guy about to pay you is basically a slave owner?

Yes he would have lingered in the league longer if not for taking a knee. Yes it's absolutely stupid that taking a knee to stand against police brutality upset so many people. But kaep has done no favors since the 49ers dropped him because it's more profitable for him to be kept out of the league then let back in it. And you know, no concussions.

What has Kaep done? Youre using something stupid his GF did against him? All hes done is community service and donated millions to helping others. Yea after the Nike deal he had no reason to even worry about the NFL anymore, but he himself did nothing to hurt his chances in the league other than take a knee.

And that only mattered because of fraud patriots who are now holding Trump 2024 flags higher than they hold the United States flag. Theyre actually fighting cops to go against the constitution but conservatives still think taking a knee is worse. Give me a fuckin break lol.

also he sucks thats why he isnt in the league! Is a dumb argument. A lot of players suck. The Cowboys have a guy named Ben Dinnuci who is fuckin garbage but he still held a roster spot all last season and will likely still catch on a practice squad after hes cut. He sucks isnt an excuse. So many rostered players suck lol.

Collin finished 29th in attempts, completions, and yards. Was 26th of 30 qualified in completion %, 26th in tds, 30th in first downs gained, 24th in y/a, 30th y/g, 23 of 30 in the god awful QBR, 10th most sacks taken (and 2nd in sack %), which resulted in his 29 of 31 for net yards/attempt. The only stat he was close to average in was the nearly as terrible as QBR passer rating where he was 17/30 due to the fact he didn't throw many interceptions.

now shut the fuck up.

In a league that's ok with protecting literal murderers and wife beaters, time and time and time again, yeah I'm ok with calling it black balling because he's girlfriend said some mean words.

6.8 YPA, 59% completion %, 9.8% sack rate, 9 fumbles in 12 games. Bottom 5 in basically all efficiency stats. 34th and 30th in DVOA in 2015 and 2016. He was bad.

Your significant other is a reflection of your choices, Colin made no statements against her and made no attempts to apologize to the ravens over it. When the NFL were forced into giving him a tryout, Collin felt the need to change the terms days before and turn it into another spectacle. Colin does not want to play in the NFL anymore, he only wants people to think he does because it helps his cause. Which is a great one, one i've actually donated too.

And Collin Kapernick isn't signing a contract for the same amount as Ben Dinnuci.

So again, shut the fuck up.

Yes there are players on the overall roster who havent officially retired yet, but also arent on a roster now. Its based on the players association. There decision to remove him actually went against what they typically do.

This.

I do think had he got signed he still would be starting/fringe starter now. He wasn't a good passer and made plays with his legs, his decision making was straight up trash at times as well. He has the arm and talent, but he never collected it all into a package. That being said, he is still better than some starters now, and most of the backups. I would have given him a 76/77 rating if anything.

Those are not the stats of a good QB

Like I said I don't think he should be out of the league but the only reason he should start games is if a starter is injured

Much respect to Kaep's activism, but in his last season he was considered one of the worst in the league and I doubt he's gotten better over the years since he hasn't been playing.

bullshit i bet he's gotten considerably better, faster and better at reading defenses
he certainly hasn't gotten worse through misuse BET

yup if Collin wanted to be in the NFL and was willing to take near vet min contracts or if racist were less racist, he'd be in the NFL the last few seasons. The fact of the matter is he isn't great enough to overcome the media circus and no matter how stupid it is that standing against the police's violence against minorities became a media circus, it is.

Collin WAS great enough to overcome that, then Harbough left. No one is getting the guy that dad dicked the packers in the postseason again.

He was on a downward trajectory. The common thought at the time was he sucked at pre-snap reads and was slow in his progressions. He wouldn't throw blind, hence low int numbers but would miss seeing the wide open guy and would rather take off running.

His play style was also one you either built your offense around him or you don't use him. He only makes sense as an NFL quarterback if you think he is good enough to get you to the Super Bowl. You then build your offense around him. You don't want him backing your team up if you are run an under center single back set regularly.

At the time he last played he was probably the 20-25th best QB in the league. If he was willing to play for $3M, even with his weaknesses you may have still been able to build around him since that would be cheap and he's still better than a lot of other choices. But he wanted to be paid like a top 10 qb.
