Almost like Dak Prescott. Some thinks he's good, I don't.
So much football to watch. Never saw Dak until GB. But I would have to say he's way better than Kaepernick. He stayed in the pocket against Green Bay and takes a hit after getting the ball off. He made some good throws. Kaepernick used to piss me off because he would stare down his primary receiver then take off when the receiver wasn't open. He's no Russell Wilson or Tom Brady but he looks NFL caliber.
At best he's an average NFL QB. Some of the Dallas fans think he is top 5. Dak wants to get paid that way. I say that he is overrated. He doesn't throw many guys open. On his first pick yesterday, if that pass was put where it should have been, it would have been a TD instead of going off Cooper's hands and picked by the DB. It may have changed the whole complexion of the game.
Not comparing Dak as a QB to Kap. Just pointing out that some think more highly of him that he really he's really worth, just like Kap.

As a college and NFL starter his stats are impressive. I agree, Dak sucks. Colin says politically correct things, but do we want to watch the best players play or the most politically correct!!!
Colin Kaepernick gets his big tryout this weekend with the NFL. 11 teams are expected to show with Cleveland being one of them. Don't know if Pittsburg is going to show up but I think Baker Mayfield of Cleveland is was better than Mason Rudolph who was involved in a brawl which I think was escalated by him as well as the DE for Cleveland. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/br ... spartanntp
Unfortunately the game of football is a team sport and Kaepernick has to show in his interviews with the 11 teams that he is not about the individual and his cause but the team. Stephen A Smith said in an ESPN interview today that he is a great running quarterback. In my personal opinion, Pittsburg should show up for Kaepernick because Mason Rudolph should be suspended for trying to take the helmet of the DE before the DE took off his helmet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eef-l5pcEIk
For me personally, I've never been a Kaepernick fan but I hope he gets a chance with Pittsburg as he seems like he is probably better than Rudolph. But Kaepernick wants a $20M contract which may be an issue. A backup quarterback with 7 years of experience is suppose to get slightly under $1M but hope he gets a chance on some team.

I he really wants a $20 mil contract, that may be a big sticking point. Don't know if anyone is willing to give out that big of a contract to a guy who may or may not become a starter.
Kaepernick is a 6 year veteran in the NFL. In 2019, the minimum salary for a 6 year veteran is $805,000. If any team signs him for a lot more than than, they are wasting their money while probably pissing off a significant portion of their fans.
I would like to see Kaepernick signed by somebody so that they can get this subject out of the sporting news along with all the controversy surrounding this subject.
Man, I was really hoping for some team to sign him up so they can end this conspiracy thing and find out that he's not all that good. I had no problem with his kneeling, I just didn't like his QB play. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/co ... spartandhp
Kaep sealed his fate with his boorish behavior. He still has to Hollywood it. If my name was Corey Paredes, I would be laughing my head off because of Kaep's antics.

Colin Kaepernick will get a tryout with the LA Chargers. https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/news/co ... rkout-list
He was never really all that good to me. The only thing he did was his kneeling after sitting for the national anthem caught on as a symbol protesting social injustice. I wish he could talk better rather than give these one word answers so that he could represent what he was trying to say with his kneeling. No talk of Michael Brown or Philando Castile.
I hope he plays for the Chargers. I never watch them anyway.

I agree. I never really thought he was any good. BTW, I gave up on the Chargers when they moved back to Los Angeles. Shoulda stayed in San Diego.

Kap was great...both in the NFL and NCAA. His time as a starting QB may be done. His expression of outrage to the bullies is complete. Bulls on Parade!
