I think it's comical how so many try to keep pushing this PC angle on why Kaepernick isn't on an NFL roster. The bottom line is that if there was an NFL team out there that needed a starting QB that thought he was a starting QB, he'd be signed. Guys have gotten second and third chances in the NFL for doing FAR worse than refusing to stand for the national anthem. Teams don't want distractions as backup QBs whether that distraction is a fault of the player, a fabrication by the media, or a combination of the two. Doesn't matter. No one wants a player who will hopefully never see the field to be a distraction

Carroll was being diplomatic and you can appreciate that.  But signing Davis pretty much negates all his comments about CK.

To have ever thought they could say he was better than Cam makes this whole situation laughable.

I completely agree. He exercised his right as an American. I think he would be great back up. I believe it may be the money he is willing to take as a backup. Remember he was doing his thing in the super bowl before the lights went out.

Teams take into consideration locker room distractions, and the public's attitude towards Kaepernick would be one. If he was definitely starter material, it wouldn't matter. Someone would sign him.

But if it was close, if he was not clear cut starting material,  the distraction would be enough to keep him from being signed. I suspect that is what is happening here.

I know, I know....it is his right.   Got it.

Well it appears that most ALL clubs feel like I do. 

On top of that he stinks as a QB.

They don't feel like you do (thinking he's "un-American") they just think the distraction outweighs the talent. Business decision not a personal one.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Arm strength has always been overrated. But Bryce's arm was also not as bad as it looked last year - he just had terrible mechanics / footwork. He's come a LONG way. Actually, his raw arm strength isn't bad at all, as we see when he's throwing balls on the move. But prior to his benching, he didn't seem to have his mechanics down consistently enough to really drive the ball. As to eating crow, plenty of fans thought the KC game was an anomaly. With a second good game, I'm interested to see if he can make it three in a row - especially against a MUCH tougher opponent. Here's hoping!

      And that's not even getting to the discussion of that this kid has finally shown some sort of consistency after almost 2 years of being in the league. We dedicated an entire off season of team construction and money spent on him just so we could get to this point or you might as well say sample size of what he can actually give us after a full season of let down and the stans are already marching around wanting crow...I would do yourself a favor and put that crow on the shelf sit back and continue to observe bryces progress for now because it's not out the woodwork you wont be the one eating it.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      That doesn't concern me as much with how few of those big bodies WRs there are in the NFL these days, at least of the elite WRs, most of them are more fast/quick than big. It's also why I want T-Mac so bad, he'd be a unicorn in this league right now with his size and skill combo. I actually think Hunter would make for a nice pairing with Horn because of that.  Horn would be matched with the bigger/stronger WR of a team while Hunter would take on the speedier WRs. I see a lot of positives to drafting Hunter here, as a CB, but I see way too many downsides to want to take that risk with a pick we have to hit a home run with.  I'm taking T-Mac and Burden over Hunter as a WR and I'm taking Johnson over him as a CB, 100 out of 100 times. Hunter is a legitimate generational collegiate talent, but the fact is that he's not the best prospect at either of his positions in this year's draft, combine that with other issues that come with him, and I'm just going a different way if he's on the board, let someone else deal with that headache that will follow him.
