Well it makes zero financial sense for the 49ers to cut him until after this season is over.

At baseball games, I'll stand for the anthem, but God bless America during the stretch can fuck right off. That's last call and I'm heading downstairs.

Hey look, they changed agents and a deal got done quickly. HMMMMMMM

8/29/2016 10:21:55 PM

Chargers are a good organization because Rivers went to State

8/29/2016 10:30:20 PM

I never said that, but their latest GM isn't a moron.

8/29/2016 10:44:48 PM

Apparently, France and Ayrault do that shit all the time. Probably figured since the Chargers were such a shittily run organization who drafts guys top-5 then tries to nickel and dime them, that they could get away with it.

well yeah. i know...i'm usually good about avoiding PP. but this time of year when there's no basketball and no football and TWW has little sports discussion i start to wander around PackPride. and i'm quickly reminded of how awful it is

I stopped hate-reading PP months ago and my life is so much better for it

8/30/2016 1:00:48 PM

about the only time I'll wade through some of the comments is when there's some meaningful recruiting info. I don't think i've looked at it since yurtseven and kapita committed.

8/30/2016 1:07:41 PM

RIP Teddy Bridgewater. Is Christian Ponder still an NFL QB?

8/30/2016 3:29:15 PM

Nope, he's a full time stay at home dad.

8/30/2016 3:31:57 PM

Siemian, Gabbert, Shaun Hill in weeks 1-3 for the Panthers?

8/30/2016 3:44:49 PM

Ponder is currently a 49er

i realize this is bleacher report, but hear me out

Quote :

""I don't want him anywhere near my team," one front office executive said. "He's a traitor." A traitor? He wasn't alone in the anger directed toward Kaepernick. In interviews with seven team executives, each said he didn't want Kaepernick on his team. This is far from scientific, but I believe this is likely the feeling among many front office executives. Not all. But many. All seven estimated 90 to 95 percent of NFL front offices felt the same way they did. One executive said he hasn't seen this much collective dislike among front office members regarding a player since Rae Carruth. Remember Rae Carruth? He's still in prison for the plot to murder his pregnant girlfriend."

WHAT IN THE DAMN HELL?

so it's ok for ray lewis to murder a guy, but it's not ok for colin kaepernick to sit down.

or his cronies murdered two guys and he helped hide evidence, whatevs.

it's pretty easy to say "he's toxic now" when he's been pretty bad at football the last couple seasons. if he was better, a team wouldn't be so quick to say he's toxic. apples and oranges, completely....but if greg hardy can get signed by the Cowboys, then Kaep could signed by any number of teams in need of a QB (if he were better).

and while i disagree with him being toxic...this should not make a player blacklisted by any stretch. but when the player becomes that unpopular with such a significant portion of fans overnight, i can totally see why a front office wouldn't wanna pursue a player who a lot of fans would absolutely hate to have on their team. if the signing is gonna be viewed as a disaster by a lot of fans, then the front office is gonna shy away from it. even if that's wrong. again...that all changes if he's a better qb.

9/1/2016 11:38:21 AM

NFL dudes are just the worst

this whole thing is just disgusting

9/1/2016 11:56:50 AM

I like what Kaep said about Clinton and Trump, but the media is ignoring that and just focusing on his comments about not standing during the anthem. In terms of the NFL GMs, Kaep already had a rep as a bad teammate and not a hard worker so this gives other front office guys more license to pile on him.

9/1/2016 2:19:31 PM

^it's funny to me that a lot of these people complaining about him "disrespecting the flag" and being a "traitor" are right there with him on the "hillary for prison" stuff, they just ignored him saying it or didn't even catch it.

Vikings trade for Sam Bradford

9/3/2016 10:45:37 AM

The current choices for me in the CLT market are NYJ vs CIN or TB vs ATL. #fml. Shoulda got NFL Sunday Ticket.

9/11/2016 1:19:58 PM

or you could just watch the NFL Redzone channel

lol Dallas

9/11/2016 7:26:00 PM

The Cowboys learned a thing or two from the NC State 2-minute drill: getting an extra yard is more important than stopping the clock.

At least this time my preferred team was on the other side.

9/11/2016 7:28:27 PM

Andrew luck is good

9/11/2016 7:29:18 PM

Almost as good as Stafford

lol wtf was that shit called against jeanine garappalo, rolled in his leg roughing the passer penalty? meanwhile Cam gets launched in to his helmet repeatedly and nothing

9/11/2016 11:58:12 PM

lol @ RGIII

9/12/2016 4:09:19 PM

Hardly surprising that he's injured, impressive that he managed to do it to himself in week one. Dude has learned nothing.

Good chance he never plays another snap as a starter in the NFL.

9/12/2016 4:40:54 PM

Haha, Washington still blows.

Not looking forward to Berman doing color for this second game. Lots of Jekyll and Hyde and The Gurley Show "jokes" coming.

9/12/2016 10:00:27 PM

Lol at Steve Young saying Blaine Gabbert is one of the better athletes in football right now and once he realized how stupid that was going to sound he started stumbling

9/12/2016 10:15:21 PM

^That was good, yeah.

9/12/2016 10:20:45 PM

Gabbert isn't going to make it through half the season if he keeps this up.

Pretty run by Hyde on that draw. Hope SF can play enough close games to get him 20+ touches a game, I need the fantasy production.

9/12/2016 10:46:22 PM

Man, this second MNF game has been almost unwatchable.

9/13/2016 12:11:41 AM

Jeff Fisher is just the worst

9/13/2016 12:43:31 AM

Blaine Gabbert is horrible, and Case Keenum is miles behind him.

My eyes are bleeding.
