Colin Kaepernick still supposedly wants a shot in the NFL. He's 35 and has been out of the league for 6 years.
OT: Like night of the living dead
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan
- Start date
Yep, he resurfaces, like clockwork, about once/year to say he's still working out and trying to get back into the league but is being blacklisted.
If he’s serious, he needs to be in a mental health facility. If he’s being facetious, he needs to know the schtick is beyond old.
I think he was (a few years ago, not today) good enough to be on an NFL roster. When he was being blackballed, there weren't 100 QB's better than him in the league. However, he wasn't starter material, and wasn't worth the headache (or the locker room distraction) to be a second or third string QB with the circus he brings. He's very much like Tebow that way.
He’s just trying to keep his name in the news. Blaine Gabbert beat him out in San Francisco so it’s obvious he’s no starting QB and hasn’t been since that happened 6 years ago.
But Colin is profiting more off being “blackballed” from the NFL, despite turning down a contract offer from Denver to be a backup 5 years ago, that he has to do this to “remind” everyone how bad he has it in life so people throw him crap loads of $$.

Blackballed? You mean turning down offers to be a backup? If he wanted to be in the NFL 5 years ago, he would’ve been. That was his call…he choose to make more $ off politics.
I mean the NFL settled a collusion case for millions (reported anywhere between just under $10M or upwards of $60M - the actual number is unknown because of a required NDA). The NFL tried to get summary judgment and lost - so the case wasn't cut and dry.
I do seem to vaguely remember him not taking a training camp spot as it might ruin the case? That's a very vague recollection though.
Tebow is someone I would want my children to look up to. Colin is not
That's fine. I was only speaking about their NFL QB careers - backups with a circus following them aren't worth it (regardless of why the circus is in town).
So the big corporation had to settle a case against an individual. These cases typically do result in settlements. And once again, he made more $ playing politics / victim than he would’ve made on the field.
Dude is raking in the dough the past 5-6 years. He hasn’t wanted to play in the NFL since he threw his sideline fit after losing his job to Blaine Gabbert and decided to have it play out by kneeling on the sideline during the anthem for being told he had to remove his visor from his helmet. That’s how this started. Him being a big pu$$y. Only then did someone get in his ear about being the picture of victimization in America.
