I have heard the waiver that kapernick was given was the same waiver that college kids sign when they are invited to the combine, is this not true? if not true wouldnt the league be opening itself up to a new lawsuit by trying to make him sign something that nobody else would have to sign to work out? I think there is a lot of bull shit from both sides on what and how things went down.
In a statement released Saturday afternoon, the NFL presented its case in regard to the liability waiver.
"On Wednesday, we sent Colin's representatives a standard liability waiver based on the waiver used by National Invitational Camp at all NFL Combines and by NFL clubs when trying out free agent players," the NFL said. "At noon today, Colin's representatives sent a completely rewritten and insufficient waiver."
I am not certain he showed anything that any D1 qb could have shown in that workout.

it was probably because CK didn't have any rights to the TV or film there was going to be made. He wanted his cameras he wantedthe film

all I know is that ck was a dip shit for wearing that tshirt to this thing if he actually wanted to show that he is serious about wanting another shot to get back into the league. or a brilliant move to stay unemployed but keeping his name in the news so that the endorsement money keeps flowing.
Oh c'mon, Jimmy. You really think he didn't know what he was doing? LOL We're talking about a guy who had a 4.0 GPA through both high school and college. Turned down an offer to play for the Cubs so he could finish his degree in Business Management. His Wonderlic score was one of the highest ever.
I don't think Kaepernick cares as much about getting back into the NFL as you would like him to. His wearing that shirt was obviously a not-so-subtle message: "I'm here to show you why I belong in the NFL, but if you think this means I'm going to back off of the issues I believe in, you can go fuck yourselves."
And I say amen to that.
Yeah, the narrative that Kaep is dumb is agenda-laden and completely wrong. I seem to remember a groundswell of conservative fans that declared 'I'm done watching the NFL!!' after the kneeling protest, yet ratings have been surging upward.

like I said, either dipshit or brilliant, either way it completely flies in the face of him being black balled out of the league. He is making himself unemployable by choice so all this pook CK the martyr shit needs to end already... the CK the football player story shouldnt play any more for either side of the discussion.
as far as me having a position on him wanting back in... I have said for a while he didnt actually want back in or he would have been taking other opportunities to show that he could still play at a a high level and that he could be a good employee. the fact that about 3 years later we are still having the same discussion and he has done absolutely nothing to change his status... only confirms what I've said in that he didnt want to play. why would he, Nike is paying him to do absolutely nothing that could lead to a debilitating injury or require him to have to actually work.

Insightful. I'm surprised they let you in.

IIRC Rating did fall off for a year or so and are only recently returning to pre kneeling BS marks. looking into it, the last 2 consecutive years saw declining ratings for the league.

Based on the video released. Go watch. He was not impressive and designed the workout - it wasn’t designed by any NFL teams. No pads. No defense.
You weren’t there - yet you think he proved he belongs in NFL. Not sure how many in the NFL agree with you.

Im pretty sure the leagues workout wasnt going to be anything more than a pro day... shorts and receivers, no D, no pads.
