LoL - like he controls receivers and offensive coordination.
I remember watching some of his games. He wasn't good. It sounds like you watched more than I so maybe the 1-11 record was more on the shitty team than the shitty QB. But I still maintain his talent wasn't good enough to justify the headache. If he was good - really good - someone would have signed him.
that's not how blacklisting works.
NFL teams will happily have murderers play for them if they are good enough to offset the combination of price tag and bad publicity.
he was bad for the league, and he was bad in a way that questioned the ownership and power structure of the league. it's not a big conspiracy, he wasn't good enough to justify the problems he highlighted. No black QB was that good.
It's either a) he was blacklisted (a big conspiracy), or b) he's not good enough to justify the combination of the wages he demanded and the bad publicity he caused. I think it was b).
it's not like every team needed a QB, it doesn't take a 32 team conspiracy to blacklist someone.
If there wasn't a gathering of NFL owners who decided not to hire him, then how is he "blacklisted"?
like you said, he brings political capital with him...if you don't know how to spend that capital it's a burden. He's blacklisted by the NFL telling certain owners that it's not in the interest of the league to keep Kap in the spotlight. Remember, those owners are franchisees.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think that your theory sounds a bit paranoid.
i don't think you've been paying attention to how much control "New York" exerts over the league. It's not a meritocracy of talent.
Nothing to do with blacklisted. That's how economic decisions are made. When Ray Rice decked that chick in the motel room, if he was coming off his 1300 yd / 12 TD season instead of his 600 yd / 4 TD season - dude would have gotten a call.
This is real and not some fake Simpson prediction shit?Changing the subject a bit,@Hauler are you aware that you have the Simpsons prediction on your side?
Remember, they predicted Trump as POTUS back in the day!
If true your golden
And Denver? He just didn't want to play there?
No one? I remember reading articles about how Kaep had lost his touch long before the kneeling shit took center stage.
Jesus fucking derp
The phrase I keep hearing him referenced as is “savant” and that his football knowledge is off the charts. However, he’s not one of those who is “the smartest guy in the room and makes sure you know it” type (that shit was a big issue with Flores). He is very relatable to his players, which is why anyone who ever played under him at his various roles in San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston and Cleveland all would tell you, they’d run through walls for him. He works to each player’s strengths and simplifies it to them. He’s also a big “self accountability” guy. If there’s shortcomings, he won’t point fingers 50 directions. He’ll own them.
