NFL: Colin Kaepernick signing would be right move for Cardinals

[Cardsmasochist]

Can we discuss Kaepernick the player, without this devolving into a political discussion?

Would Colin be a good fit for the Cardinals as a back up?

Actually no because everything about the guy is political. He's a cancer based on that alone. Would you want that distraction on a team with a rookie QB?

I read the article this morning. I had suggested him as a backup to Murray on here but someone shot it down saying he wanted to be a starter.

All of his political BS aside, he SHOULD have been a "perfect" fit for Chip Kelly's offense... Couldn't even beat out Blaine Gabbert.

KM is more than just a good athlete, to be effective in the Air Raid you have to be accurate and you have to be able to read the field to execute the passing scheme's concept.

It is a plus for a Air Raid QB to be mobile, but not a requirement.

CK is NOT accurate. Additionally, he was not able to execute the zone read... He ran a similar offense in college, "the pistol" which is a play-side read vice a back-side read in Chip Kelly's system, but success in college is hardly an indicator of NFL success (as we PAINFULLY know)...CK was at his best when Greg Roman was the OC and they were pounding the ball with that huge OL and captilizing on play action.

HARD PASS

just because he is black and mobile doesnt mean he would be a good fit here. The dude hasnt even played football in what....two years? come on now. Plus in his final year, he wasnt very good at all.

 

[slanidrac16]

How many ways can I say it? NO!

 

[Ronin]

No.

 

[Proximo]

He could not beat out Gabbert who is not good. Other than one season, he has never been good.

He would be an incredibly large distraction.

He needs to go to the XFL - they would love to have him, and if he plays well enough he probably could get in the NFL again.

 

[SECTION 11]

Pass

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Love the guy's passion for his cause but based on football reasons alone, no we shouldn't bring him in and have no reason to.

 

[Vacard]

Who got hurt? We already have a suitable backup qb who is familiar with the offense.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Don't want him for football reasons and political ones. All around pass for me.

Not judging his political views, and the word "cancer" is a little strong, but I agree about the distraction part.

We have a new, rookie head coach, rookie QB, and a team fighting to build a good internal culture and identity. I don't think we need the circus that would inevitably follow him to his new team.

How about toxic.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

No.

I don’t feel like he’s ever recovered physically from his injury. His frame is significantly smaller. He was done after the 47-7 drubbing we put on the Niners, IMO.

 

[Tacticool Nerd]

In what world do you live in where a player literally hasn't been in the league for years would be a good signing?

 

[devilalum]

If he was good somebody would have signed him a long time ago. His talent is marginal at best and the track record for any player that sits out for a couple of years then tries to comeback is weak.

Would love to play against him.

 

[wit3card]

I think he will be a good signing for someone else, but I don't see us as a suiter. We have 2 QB and 2 PS eligable QB so, why should we, if KM goes down for more than 2 games and in this stretch Hundley goes down too, than by all means, we don't need a good Backup QB, we need a new O-line by then.

So no it doesn't make sense from a team perspective.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

These articles frustrate me on many levels.

#1. Nothing has been indicated he is willing to be a back up in the NFL.

#2. We have seen articles that he expects to be well compensated. $20 million dollars to play in the AAF

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/02/15/report-colin-kaepernick-wanted-million-play-aaf/

So if it is clear that he wants a starting job and he wants starting money, why are their articles about how he should be the back up? It's beyond lazy click bait.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So those are the reasons he won't be coming here. Opportunity and payment. We aren't giving him the starting job and we certainly aren't cutting multiple starters on the team to afford back up QB.

And that doesn't even get into how polarizing a signing it would be. Your own stadium would be a chorus of boos.

Part of it when Kaepernick plays by those that disagree with his politics.
Part of it when Murray makes a mistake because they love Kaepernick

It would be a crapfest

 

[BullheadCardFan]

No

 

[Jetstream Green]

No, he cannot read a defense and cannot make smart quick decisions... oh, frankly Hundley is better than him now

So his being out of the NFL is his fault and his fault alone. He wants to play but on his terms. As you said, he was offered a job in the AAF but he wanted a ridiculous amount of money. The CFL offered him a job and he turned it down. Hell, he optioned out of his contract with SF.
