There you go. I still have some faith. Again I'm not excusing the way Kap played this but the NFL was more interested in the show than the trial. The real question is, if any team was really interested in Kap they could easily hold their own workout, no?
Kaepernick Skips NFL Organized Workout, Wears T-Shirt Comparing Himself To A Slave
- Thread starter Big Sleazy
- Start date

In all honestly I can't answer to why would he care. Maybe he wanted it to be legit and not a dog and pony show. Maybe he wanted to make sure the proper people were there. Like I said, by having in on Saturday is really confusion and different from what the NFL usually does due to conflicts and such.

BTW I saw that video and he looked absolutely fucking amazing! He looks like he could step right back onto the field and lead a team!
His agent needs to get his side of the story out and explain what just happened, if there's a half decent explanation!
All I know is that if he truly wanted to play again in the NFL he would have had to go to the original workout. As it stands now what GM would take a chance on him after what he decided to do. Yes he got another PR chance to make a statement but if he wanted to play that was his shot. Not saying it was right but life is not always a perfect happening of events.
Kind of disagree with a bit of you point. Again I do say he could have done a few things differently, but looking out for your best interested is one of them. The NFL teams have taken chances on lower forms of scum than Kapernick. He's good enough
You really think he's going to be any better after 3 years? He couldn't make any secondary reads then what makes you think he can now?
As for the workout footage. I liken it to boxer hitting the pads during training. they all look good. It's how they react during the fight that matters.
Joe Rogan describes fighting as ''high level problem solving with dire consequences''. Football is very close to that. CK's problem has never been his athletic prowess for he's at the top of the food chain there. It's been his problem solving. And that's what differentiates the Tom Brady and Peyton Mannings of the world from the Colin Kaepernick's.
You do realize(but, do you?) that there are quite a few players that are not black. NHL, too, has owners- not that many descendants of slaves in that league. Only a complete moron could possibly connect this to slavery. These men are free individuals in a free country, employed in the field of their own choice. The vast majority of them have a college education and are completely free to work in their field - whatever that may be. Kap was always a fraud, he just confirmed it for all to see. Good riddance. Maybe he can find a job as a commentator at the MSNBC.
Maybe they'll draw more than 5,000 for their home opener because of the novelty factor.
Um screwing him how?
Not only were most of his stats abysmal but the team actually won more games after he left (and San Fran is a crap team!)
Manziel proved why so few failed NFL QBs make it up here despite being "better"
After Moon and Flutie not many ever made news
When are they going to stop talking about this arrogant piece of shit , he took the 49’ers to the Super Bowl and than was on a decline since , than he started his kneeling BS the guy looks half white to me ( could be wrong )
Now he wants back in and he is surprised the owners won’t hire him ?

If not for Leon McQuay's fumble Joe might have a Cup here as well.
QB's that went from the CFL to the NFL of note
Tom Clements........Kansas City. 3rd string
Henry Burris..........Chicago. Actually started 1 game. Did terribly.
Ricky Ray..............Jets. Never saw the field
Jeff Garcia...........49ers,Browns,Lions, Buccaneers. Eagles

TeeJays's argument (don't want to puts words in mouth) were that NFL QB's that come to CFL are flops, not always the other way around though.
It was a bogus workout to stop any lawsuit in the future.
He flipped it on them to show how crooked and underhanded they are.
