So, let me get this straight: People were offended by a tee shirt, a pair of socks and the fact that he peacefully protested and because of that, he's not eligible to play in the NFL?

How thin skinned are these people that are so offended? I read more fucking offensive shit on Chiefsplanet nearly every fucking day.

Offended? No.

But if you’re going to make yourself the face of the fight against oppression, your credibility goes out the window when you wear a pro-Castro shirt THEN defend him when you get called out on it by the Miami media.

We’re talking about the same people that practice cancel culture too. It’s beyond hypocritical Dane.

Cam Newton is a far better QB than Kaep ever was and still wasn’t able to get a starting job. Yet he continues just posting workout videos and waiting for his moment since wants to start, not be a backup, instead of burning bridges and getting all emotional about teams not signing him and blaming it on his race or beliefs or whatever.

Well, agree to disagree. I have a very difficult time getting worked up over a tee shirt or a pair of sox.

What the hell can POSSIBLY support the argument that Chip Kelly doesnt' belong as a D-1 coach?

He went to BCS games in every season he coached the ducks, did he not? A few conference championships, a couple of BCS victories, a slew of national coach of the year awards.

Chip Kelly absolutely has the resume to coach division 1 football. He clearly hasn't been as good at UCLA (in a mere 2 seasons) but he does have some wins over ranked opponents in there. And the situation isn't as good at UCLA as Oregon is pretty much a perfect storm of resources (thanks, Nike!) and lax admission. His successors haven't been able to duplicate his results or anything approaching them.

It's possible that the spread concepts he used being more widely adopted have simply taken away his major advantage. But to say after 2 seasons back in the college game that it's simply passed him by and now he shouldn't have a D1 job is just born of emotion and a wild overstatement.

Maybe because you aren’t a Cuban in Miami. Nobody else cared.

Again, that may be. But that's how things are done in the NFL. You either win and put up good film, or you don't.

I still remember that play where Kaep's WR was completely uncovered, was jumping up and down all alone one side of the field at the LoS and Kaep never even looked his way. Before or after the ball was snapped.

After Harbaugh left, his play seemingly fell off a cliff. He just never developed. He regressed even.

And yeah, maybe you're right and Chip Kelly and the like did him no favors.

So then do what everyone else does and take what's offered to you, prove that it was the 49ers and not you, and then get paid.

But like i said, he refused to take personal accountability for his poor play.

People look for any reason to be offended about anything now.
[Reply]

Go fuck yourself. The same people talking about Brees’s comments being insensitive/offensive are defending this. Absolutely hypocritical.
[Reply]

Case and point.
[Reply]

Maybe to the public. But NFL teams want to win more than anything else. And Kaep isn't the only player in the NFL that says/said stupid shit. NFL teams put up with a lot, and will pay you Millions if you help them win.

But if you demand more than your play on the field suggests you're worth you just might find yourself sitting at home for awhile.

In 2019 alone, Cam Newton had his shoulder scoped and had a Lisfranc injury which cut his season short.

That is completely different than CK's situation and not even remotely comparable.
[Reply]

You understand the outrage fro Brees, but not with Cubans being offended by Kape wearing a Castro shirt and talking about all the “good” he did to their media?

That’s why I say go fuck yourself.
[Reply]

Yeah, i don't agree that that's why he's not in the league. Not because of socks, or kneeling or tweets.

I'm adamant that it has a lot more to do with him refusing to take a back up QB's salary.
[Reply]

I think he would've 3 years ago, yes.

But in the last 5 years he's won 3 football games and hasn't taken a snap in over 40 months. He simply wasn't very good towards the end of his time as a starter and 3 years away from the game won't have made him better. There is zero chance that a 33 year old mobile quarterback who hasn't played in 3 seasons is going to come back w/ the legs that made him the threat he once was.

Who would've been comparable? RGIII would've been a viable 1-2 punch with him but he was effectively done by 2017. And he's been backing up Lamar himself (because again, styles matter) the last 2 years when Lamar was the starter.

He simply fit very few starting quarterbacks when he was still viable.
