I was there yesterday. That was pretty damn funny watching him get sacked over and over. For most of the game the Niners had negative passing yards.
 
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving quarterback. Also, I think the Chip Kelly NFL experiment is over.

He definitely needs to go back to college ball. Chip's greatest strength has always been in developing players foundational skills. Once you hit the NFL, you should already have that level of skill development. Chip isn't that great of a game time coach (that's why he had some of the best coordinators in college football), but his ability to get the absolute best out of his players was always his greatest strength. In the NFL, that skillset just doesn't win games any more (unless you're Seattle). Chip needs to go back to do what he does best and that is turning good High School players into great college players.

The San Francisco 49ers benched quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Sunday, and he was a bit taken aback by it.
...

“I was surprised. It wasn’t something I expected,” Kaepernick said, via Andie Hagemann of NFL Media. “It’s not my place to really argue on the sideline. I want to make sure I do what I can help this team win and that was the decision that was made so I’m going to support my teammates.”

Colin Kaepernick ‘surprised’ by fourth-quarter benching

Perhaps doing your job, taking the focus off your team by being a half-assed activist while ON the field and not praising dictators who oppress, murder, torture and starve their own people would be a good start there Colin. Try not to get any splinters in yer ass. :wink:
 
Krapernick has got to go. There is talk of him going free agent, and maybe returning to the 49'ers. Good grief. He can possibly be a pretty good QB with the right team, but he has painted himself into a corner with this taking a knee protest of his, and he doesn't know how to end it because it's so broad of a complaint.

I suggest he take his knee somewhere else.

The 49er's are FUBAR enough without him bring more shade to the team.
 
It is sad when someone that possibly can influence opinions is an idiot. Injustice is everywhere in every country and always will be but the flag for our country stands for above all, the legal avenue for change as we have all witnessed since the constitution was written. There are wrongs done every day because we are people and people have a sad history of wrong doings. Kapernick will change nothing.....nothing.
 
The vitriol and hate against an individual that simply kneeled during the national anthem is amazing.

Shouldn't this anger be reserved for the actual crooks and criminals destroying this country?
 
And to think Whiner fans were convinced he was eons better than Russell Wilson.:lamo

Well said.

I could not agree more.

Why do they continue to play him?

Because his backup is Blaine Gabbert, who was rancid as their starter earlier this season before they put Kaepernick back in. The 49ers continue to play Kaepernick because they have no better options. They're just a terrible team.

I think there are a lot off pissed off defenive players who cannot stand this anti-American and are fired up to get a huge chunk of his ass. I know I would.

If you think that it's his "anti-American" stance that causes him to get sacked a lot, you really don't know anything about football.

Also, in the NFL, you can't recruit, which is why so many college coaches turn into complete failures in the NFL. The salary cap and the desire of adult men to be treated as such tends to negate the strengths of control-freak weirdos like Kelly and Steve Spurrier and Nick Saban and Lou Holtz who have a nearly unlimited supply of talent in college that they can exert complete hegemony over (lest they lose their scholarship).

There are obvious exceptions, college coaches who thrived in the NFL like Pete Carroll or Jim Harbaugh, but most wash out.

I ... agree with Bucky. Ugh.
 
The whole circus with Kap has to be a gigantic distraction and takes focus away from the job at hand, playing good football.

Volunteer and do stuff off the filed Kaepernick if you want to be an activist, the NFL shouldn't be a platform for your activism.

Well... I don't think you understand the added motivating forces of wanting rip off the head of an asshole.

It is why teams try not to give opponents anything to give them that extra shot of adrenaline... and Kaepernick is a walking reminder of both arrogance and idiocy... and harming the game. I am 100% certain guys are extra motivated... they want to **** him up. I know I would.

I know this stuff first hand... not from football... but ice hockey, baseball and basketball... especially ice hockey.

FYI... one player admitted a game winning tackle was certainly motivated by his idiocies.

In sports you take anything you can get to have an advantage... especially a motivational one. Kaepernick is a walking billboard and target.

It also seems you never played sports, at least not at a level where you took it half way serious, and certainly not in a manner where you wanted to play professionally.

I hope you read the Breitbart article... and if they interviewed all the defensive linemen and linebackers... off the record, my bet is you'd find a lot of pissed off, über-motivated players.

I dont think it has anything to do with "control-freak weirdos" not being able to control NFL players take Parcells or Belichick for example. I think its more about just everything in the NFL being so different from college and long time college coaches not being able to adapt quick enough in the win now enviroment. Saban, Spurrier, Holtz and Kelly all spent 20 years or more in college before they were a pro head coach.

That's entirely possible -- getting entrenched in the college mindset can definitely make coaches so set in their ways that they can't adapt (or re-adapt, in some cases) to the pro game. Good point.

Most football coaches (and pro/college coaches in general) are control-freak weirdos, though. I spent a month with a bunch of college wrestling coaches one weekend. Holy crap, those people are terrifying.

He's certainly a better athlete than Alex Smith (better arm/mobility), and it's not like the guy was a total bust in SF -- he did get the 49ers to a Super Bowl, whilst Smith really didn't excel until he left San Fran.

Oh, assumptions. They make an ass out of uma thurman.

Buy a clue -- I have spent more time around pro athletes, in numerous capacities, than you ever did or ever will.

Yes, I'm sure Breitbart would do the diligence of interviewing "all the defensive linemen and linebackers off the record."

My bet is, these guys are plenty motivated by money and winning.
