In the history of the NFL has there ever been a player as non-NFL caliber that has been given as many failed chances on as many teams as Tebow?
They may have felt he was but he obviously proved once he was on those teams that he is not.
Not necessarily. Antonio Gates was a basketball player in college and went on to become one of the best TEs ever. Travis Kelce was a former QB for most of his HS and early college career… TE is a position of variance to a great degree- there is a dramatic difference between “blocking” TEs and pass catching TEs.
Yeah but others are losing their minds over racism because Kapernick isn’t getting calls. Real story. Look it up.
I’d love for someone to explain to me how a league that is 68% black in a population that’s 16% black could possibly be considered racist because Tebow is getting another shot. Just goes to show how idiotic the woke left is.
Wasn't Kapernick offered an open-tryout opportunity a few years ago, and didn't he seemingly go out of his way to sabotage that opportunity? I seem to remember the consensus being that he had zero interest in actually playing in the NFL.
How is Kap a failed qb? He took his team to two NFC title games and a superbowl, and is still probably better than at least 10 starting qbs in the league right now. If you don't like his politics, fine, but don't lie about his ability.
I don't want to break up your little "Woe is the Race Card" discussion. However, Kaepernick not working out at the NFL assigned facility was a little more complicated than you are making out. There was an issue regarding waivers from being sued that caused the issue. Kaepernick went to the other facility for media purposes to show that he was willing to work out but not under the conditions of signing that waiver. Now, I agree that the Tebow and Kaepernick issues are totally unrelated. However, there is no need to leave things out to prove your point.
lol what? He rode on the backs of the 9ers D those years. "Better than at least 10 starting Qb's in the league right now". He wasn't better than 10 starting fb's when he was playing 5 years ago, he sure is not better after sitting those years. God bless it.
Just say you don't know football and go. It is almost universally agreed that Kap would still be in the league if he hadn't taken a political stance. You're only lying to yourself if you think 60 to 70 Qbs in the NFL are better than Kap.
The opinion that 70 QBs are better than Kap is nuts. The man has a career TD/Int ratio of 72 to 30. Even in the year that he got benched, Blaine Gabbert was so terrible that they had to sneak Kap back out there amid the controversy and Kap threw 16 TDs and 4 Ints. You, also, have to keep in mind that Chip Kelly was the 49ers coach during this period and no professional football authority would argue now that Chip Kelly knew what he was doing. Just think about all this for a second. A QB with a TD/Int. ratio of approximately 2 1/2 to 1 has been sitting on the street for five years due to the owner's lack of courage. With that type of mentality, Jackie Robinson would have never left the Negro League and a whole host of things would be different that we take for granted now. To have the commissioner publicly apologize to Kap, but not somehow have him involved with the league is a shame.
Just say you have the reading comprehension of a 2nd grader, and go. I guess you know more than every coach/gm/predsident in the NFL (you're a joke). You're moving the goal post now, it was "he is better than at least 10 starting fb's in the NFL right now"...Now it's "You're only lying to yourself if you think 60 to 70 Qbs in the NFL are better than Kap". I never said the latter? When you lose an argument, you just change the argument I guess.
He shouldn't make the team and won't unless Meyer forces the issue. He has never played tight end. He is 33 years old. This is a pure publicity stunt.
I remember. I, also, remember the 49ers putting Kap back out there when it was clear that Gabbert couldn’t play.. My final memory is that Kap had a 4/1 TD/Int. ratio that season. You have at least two starting QB’s in the NFL that were underwater in that stat just last year. Hate Kap if you want, but the narrative that Kap was some crap QB is just false.
