colin kaepernick is 25 years old , who knew :phew:

So he's basically a rookie (though he's a second year player). Plus he's 25 yrs old. But some people want to talk about him, like he's the second coming after starting 9 games now, with a team stacked with good coaches, Defense, Offensive lineman, good backs, Receivers and scheme?????????

Hmmmmh. Rivera, Shula and Cam, need to get their swerve/swag on next season, and reclaim the spot light and ascend up the standings (especially with the Dirty Birds crying over being shot down in their own Stadium).

Wow!!

Who would have thunk it at the beginning of the season that the first 'Read Option/Dual Threat QB' to make the Super Bowl in 2013 would be Colin Kaepernick (despite the fact they're a good team)???

And once again, the dirty birds proved, their not SB worthy, giving up such a big lead to a 2nd year QB (almost a rookie, really) at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show you what good coaching and a front office can do???????

You have to admit those dirty birds got some weapons beside the fact they have a noodle arm of a QB. The dude work so hard to get the ball 20 yards down field.

Yes, they do have talent and a bunch of weapons. But they're defense is not tough enough to stop physical or elusive teams up front. And Matty Ice can get flustered (and throw picks) with QB pressure.

This should of happened last week! Im still mad they got a playoff win lol. Ill celebrate tonight those fuggers are going home!

I think those read option teams are like Jordan, they get down then the obliterate the opponent. They're too confident sometimes. Although the 49ers were down by 17 nothing in me says they would lose. That's the Jordan syndrome with those read option teams. they can score in bunch.

At the time I said it was a good trade, and I stand by it now... When you are a team who wins like the Falcons (In the regular season) you don't get chance to change top game changers in a draft like Julio Jones... He will also be a career falcon and give them a playmaker for years with Ryan..

Essentially they drafted him with their 27th draft pick... To make it happen they gave up a late 2nd, and two late 4th round pick... Those are blah.. and they gave up a late 1st round pick which is really the quality pick they gave up to make this happen... I'm okay with two late first for one of the biggest game changers at the WR position.

The Vikings probably thought they were one player away when they traded for Herschel Walker as well.

For one player at the #5 spot 2 Number 1s, a 2nd and 2 4ths is too much to give up.

Especially if it's a douche wide out. That's 5 talented low priced young players for one wide out on your roster.

Yeah, it's like a ticking time bomb, cause the Defense has to always be prepared for the QB to run.

So as long as they can pass and run the ball well with the RB's, like you alluded to, they're just a ticking time bomb to score.

That was Cam and the offense in 2011 (actually Panthers were more explosive), before Chud Fugged it up the first half of 2012.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
