Two serious questions about Kaepernick


Recommended Posts

Hoping for serious answers on two things I've noticed:

 

1) Why does he do press conferences in kind of scrubby clothing rather than a suit, with headphones around his neck and a hat on backwards? Why doesn't this come into criticism by anyone including media? No one even mentions it really. Is it because he wins? Why does his organization allow that? Have they just accepted that the suit thing is not his bag and don't care? Is it just because San Fran is a liberal ass city and they don't care that their face of the franchise has a conservative look?

 

2) Why does he always do his presser with Frank Gore sitting on his lap? I've seen this now three times... it's odd. Frank talks like he's taken too many head shots too.

( a ) He does not always do the presser with Gore. He's done it with Crabtree, Boldin, by himself, etc. He does this so as to not hog all the limelight. He's trying to reinforce to his teammates that he is there working the grind with them and doesn't think too highly of himself.

 

 

( b ) Why he dresses the way he does:

 

Why does Tom Brady dress like a metrosexual for press conferences? My guess is he likes the look.

why does your organization allow that? It's got a shady look to the outsider. Say my wife or friend who is not a huge football fan sees him for the first time, after seeing 90% of NFL QB's doing their presser in a suit when I have NFL network on.

 

Why would your organization want to allow that?

Guessed what? That I am sitting here with the highlights on seeing Kaepernick's press conference and wondering two questions that I don't know the answer to?

 

You're bitter about something else. You're being the bitch.

 

Yet you have a thread dedicated to people who want you banned? I'm just calling out what I see.

You seem confused.... the thread was a poster calling for me to be banned. Stop hyjacking threads and read other threads more slowly.

 

Do you know how to read? A poster wanted you banned and you have a whole bunch of other posters cosigning it. 

 

How about you take the time to read, take a hint and join another fanbase.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
