adam Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 So it looks like the league set up a tryout for Kaepernick on Saturday. Kind of odd, but the Bears need to send someone there just to kick the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 No interest in Kap. There is no way he's mentally ready for NFL game speed after being away this long. Plus, I honestly believe football isn't the priority in his heart that it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Three years out. Below 500 as a starter before. Too much rust and settling of things. You know, like letting a car sit for three years then trying to start it and you worry about every belt and hose etc. Are the fluids still good.

BearFan PHX Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 even without all the politics etc, I just dont think he was that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I think most people think he is better than most of the backups in the league and maybe a few starters but that is a big assumption. First he is athletic but he was never an accurate passer. Anyone that signs him will have hoards of attention that will distract from the team. The questions will be( what is it like to play with the social justice warrior Kap), instead of (how are you going to slow down Aaron Rodgers). It will be a circus for the team. On saying that we should at least take a look, maybe he is better than Chase.( I wouldnt do it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 What kind of contract is he looking for? Do the Bears have that cap? What does it do to the future of the team cap wise? Then do the Bears cut Daniel or go with 3 QBs? If he'd sign a low end prove it deal, it is possible but I think it is a dead issue since they don't seem to be sending anyone to the workout. I think the team is what it is going into the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Pass for many of the reasons previously mentioned. 3 years removed from the NFL, 32 years old, sub 500 starter last time he did play and got benched, opted out of his 49ers contract, cried foul when no one showed interest, he was a huge distraction as a player, that hasn't changed since he last played. He's turned down contract offers, and seems to think he's worth somewhere in the area of 20 mil a year (no one's going to give him that). I agree with Mogo, his priority is not football he seems more interested in portraying himself as a victim. Politics and SJW stuff aside he's not worth it. I was listening to the Score not long ago and had to shut it off, don't know who the host was but he was railing on the Bears for not sending someone there and passing on a starter quality QB. Implying that by not sending someone to this "tryout" is admitting they don't care. He tried to make it sound like Kaep would be great fit and how good of a QB he is, yada yada. If he was/is as good a QB as so many claim he is, and if he was as desperate to play in the NFL as he claims he is, he'd be on a team.

I gotta concur with BF2000 and Grizz on this. The entire league wouldn't look away from a possible franchise QB. Watch Antonio Brown come back and play. If you're a Pro Bowl player, they want you. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I think with not knowing how good he might be and I think last time someone talked to his agent he was on the 10 mil a year contract. A little to much for most likely a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 24-7 ragging on the cities teams. I tune in to feel good not have someone downing my day. I almost prefer twitter, I can slide right by the garbage.

ASHKUM BEAR Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Just read updates on this whole circus. Kap pulled out of this try out. This was nothing but a stunt, media bashing the Bears for not falling for it need to apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 It was a sham, the whole purpose was to have Nike promote a commercial. He had the waiver on Weds to sign as far as no media. He waits to the last minute to try to make the NFL look bad. He is all about look at me, how serious can you take him to actually play for a team, when he is always promoting his own agenda.
