I don't give a crap if players stand or kneel. Yes Kaepernick is miles better than Stanton.

However, the Cardinals have grown their fan base significantly both at home and in other states. The Cardinals have recently had highest favorability rating of any team in the nation. We have done that by both having a good product and really just not pissing people off. In just a few short years this team's image has been completely rehabilitated.

There are enough people with strong enough opinions on Kaepernick to cause lasting damage to the Cardinals brand. It's clear in both ratings and polling. I am not going to get into the right or wrong here, I just don't see how you can risk all the work the organization has done to build good will with everyone for a few wins.

I agree with this a 1000% when you put it this way. But he would win us games..

Helps us...I rather have Kaepernick than Stanton any day....plus we solve the players issues a great deal. And I think than the players stand if Kap does...which he said he would. I think we can win 9 games with Kap playing. I feel we can't win 2 with Stanton. He is so inaccurate....I think he is going to be awful. Arians will look foolish too. Sad thing is. If we lose to the 49ers ...we are doomed. Getting to 4-4 and we still have a shot.
I'd rather not have a quarterback who's a fan of many world dictators and bashes on cops. CFL would welcome him.

With everything involved, I'd rather play Gabbert.

People think signing him is cut and dry. It is not.

Reasons why Kaepernick isn't being signed:

  1. Diminished ability
  2. Lost a ton of weight and his durability has come into question
  3. Host of recent injuries (shoulder, knee)
  4. Fair to question how focused and dedicated he is to the game.
  5. Would arguably be the most divisive player in the NFL and a potential distraction in the locker room
In short, regardless of whether or not you agree with his political POV, it's simply not worth the risk. If you're guaranteed to get Aaron Rodgers-type production out of him, then it might be worth the risk, but that simply isn't a possibility.
