Scorcho Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Alex Smith is a god to Utah fans. I hated to see his career end like it did. As much as I love to watch him play, he needs to hang them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sign this guy, and start him. That way he can remind everyone that he isn't a very good QB. As long as the nfl continues to play this game, people will continue to forget that he is a below average starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he needs to hang it up...see his kids in the van? That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 He'd be giving up some 50 mill in contract money, wouldn't he? Not like the guy's poor. But he's 35 and probably still has some good football left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueDuck Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Is peterman a starting QB? On hard knocks most of the staff wanted hin cut, only Gruden liked him Anyways Kaeps last 3 years went 8-8, 2-8 and 1-10. That's the definition of a below average STARTING QB. Mariota and Trubisky have better completion numbers than Kaep, and both are benched and going to be cut. I put Kaep in that group, similar to a lot of QBs who aren't in the NFL anymore. But are better than half the backups. But lots of guys don't want to be a backup, and most teams won't pay much for a backup, and prefer a younger qb.

Cool, so when Trubisky and Mariota are out of the league next season -- serving neither as a starter nor a backup -- I'll believe you. Until then, you just kind of sound like a MAGA chud engaging in a twisted, post-hoc analysis of Kaep's ability. The guy is better than several starting QBs in the league, and probably 90% of the backups. That no one even reaches out for workout or a contract is proof-positive he's being blackballed over his political beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you, my opinion on Kaep has nothing to do with his not standing for the national anthem. I don't base my opinion of players based on politics. I think its fucked up that he got black balled by the NFL. He's just not a very good qb. And he would not be QB1 on any team. If he was that good, someone would have signed him. See Leonard Little, he killed a lady and still played for years. The NFL figured him out, and it was downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL employs murderers, child abusers, and wife-beaters. But if you kneel for the flag? Well that's just unforgivable. I wonder if this has anything to do with the NFL enjoying all that military welfare money. It's fucking ridiculous. What the fuck does football have to do with camouflage? You're just welcoming and cheerleading the most disgusting brand of jingoism we currently have going in this country: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC MAN Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Seeing him hurt as a Miami Hurricane wouldn't have led you to believe he would get to #3 in all-time NFL rushing yards. Hats off to him for working his rear off getting back on the football field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The tweet that Don posted very well could be the reason why Kap got blackballed from the NFL. Including the active roster and practice players, Kap's actions potentially negatively affected 1,855 other players and their future earnings. The full impact of those actions might still not be realized until the NFL signs its new media rights deals. You mess with the establishment's ability to maximize its revenues, you simply won't be welcome to the establishment regardless of your abilities. We might be seeing how big of an impact on future media rights since AT&T might decide to not pay for NFL Sunday Ticket anymore after this season. Money is not as good as hoped, Kap will never play in the NFL again for certain. That alone might end up preventing future stunts like what Kap pulled. Do not ever underestimate the power of money.
