It was reported that people very close to him have said that he knows he would be going for a backup position. He has made it clear that he wants to have a chance to compete for the starting job tho and I don't believe that's something anyone can hold against him looking at his resume.



Also theres the myth that the media shoves down peoples throats that hes such a shitty QB that he doesn't deserve to be on a team. And that's just false. His career numbers are 72 TDs to 30 INT. Last year he had 16 TD and 4 INT. His team was pure trash. If you combine his seasons where he was full time starter and played every game he is 40 TD and 18 INT.


So im cool with going at a trash player and im not afraid to pick sides in a political battle, but theres ONE reason why no team wants Colin K. And its NOT because hes a bad QB.


Its because he stood up for black people/


With all that said im happy with AJM and wouldn't want any other backup.


Dude should at least be in some team's training camp. No one can convince me hes so trash that he shouldn't be at least in a camp

I'm not a racist, I just don't like the way Kaep went about protesting. It was negative, divisive, and offered no solution. That's it. Period.

The rest was a rant that was just about the situation in general. I aint on here to call no one a racist. Disregard the post after the first paragraph, because it was a general rant not meant at anyone in this thread personally

We can't elect a President who won because he said America was "broken" and then punish an athlete for saying the same thing.

I too had similar fantasies and god knows that alcohol always makes us the biggest and baddest MFers on the planet. 
As time goes on like it always does we tend to come to the realization that we're probably not going to take on 100 drunk fans of other teams and settle into the realistic idea that we're not all that and a bag of chips after all and telling the cops when they arrive that "I KNOW MY RIGHTS!" probably wasn't the most compelling argument we ever had.. lol

As a 6 year veteran of the US military I have a hard time supporting anyone who kneels during our National Anthem. Yes I know it's his right but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I also support our police and the piggy socks really added to my dislike of CK, not to mention the Castro t-shirt. Supporting a communist is just not okay in my book.

I don't know about any Castro stuff or pig socks, so I wont give an opinion on that until I learn the facts.
