    Default No NFL Teams Called Kaepernick About a Job

    He's still making plenty of money for someone "unemployed". But truth is, he's just not that great. And certainly not worth 15+ million or more that he was paid. He was a fairly average QB who showed arm strength at times, and made a few good plays, otherwise just average which I'll show below the article.

    When an NFL player retires or no longer plays, they must be out of the NFL for 5 years before they can start being nominated and possibly voted into the Hall of Fame.

    Every NFL season, when it starts, based on the current lineup of 32 teams, there are 1,760 players in total. The HOF started with inclusions in 1960. That means that 105,600 players were signed in the NFL at any given time during the seasons. And much more due to folks getting cut, new signings, practice squad elevations...

    And yet, the HOF has a total of 346 members. So, not a very high percentage make it and it's reserved for the best of the best.

    And yet there is now talk of Kaepernick being voted in. WHAT? WTF? ARE YOU INSANE??

    Look at the numbers below. Comparisons to a couple of other current NFL players that may make the Hall of Fame when they retire, but there are no guarantees.

    No NFL Teams Called Kaepernick About a Job

    The flurry of reports from a few months ago about NFL teams having interest in signing the league’s original anthem protester, appear to have been one giant virtue signal.

    According to a source to Pro Football Talk, no one has contacted Colin Kaepernick’s agents about signing their client to an NFL contract.

    “Per a source with knowledge of the situation, there was some “fake” interest expressed immediately after Floyd’s death, seemingly out of guilt,” Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio writes. “There has been zero interest expressed as to Kaepernick ‘in months.’

    “At one point along the way, NFL Media reported that teams had contacted ‘friends and associates’ of Kaepernick, and that they would be contacting his agent when they “get to the point where they’re confident enough that they think they can work out a contract.” So either they never got to the point of confidence that they can work out a contract, or it was all just more bullshit.”

    Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio gets very emotional when it comes to Colin Kaepernick.

    Still, the truth is there’s likely as little interest from Kaepernick in the NFL, as there is from the NFL in Kaepernick. Right now, Colin Kaepernick lives a charmed life of the occasional speaking engagement, running a social justice camp for kids, tweeting something insane on the 4th of July, and filming the occasional video for Nike.

    His compensation for all of this? A “star” deal with Nike:

    Ben Roethlisberger

    Career Completion Percentage - 64.3
    Career Yardage - 56,545
    Yards per completion - 7.8
    Career TD throws - 363
    Career INT's - 191
    Yards Per Game - 259.4
    Win Loss Record - 144 wins and 71 losses

    Drew Brees

    Career Completion Percentage - 67.6
    Career Yardage - 77,416
    Yards per completion - 7.6
    Career TD throws - 547
    Career INT's - 237
    Yards Per Game - 281.5
    Win Loss Record - 163 wins and 111 losses



    Aaron Rodgers

    Career Completion Percentage - 64.6
    Career Yardage - 46,946
    Yards per completion - 7.7
    Career TD throws - 364
    Career INT's - 84
    Yards Per Game - 259.4
    Win Loss Record - 113 wins and 60 losses

    Kaepernick

    Career Completion Percentage - 59.75
    Career Yardage - 12,271
    Yards per completion - 7.3
    Career TD throws - 72
    Career INT's - 30
    Yards Per Game - 177.8
    Win Loss Record - 28 wins and 30 losses

    Stats add up over time and averages get harder and harder to move/change. Kaepernick played for 7 seasons, although only 3 in his first year. Not as long as the others above, but long enough to have developed his stats, his career and his entire showcase to the world. He was average. He lost more games than he won. Granted only 6+ years, but 12,271 yards? For 6 seasons that averages out to just over 2k per season. The above guys average easily double that. Big Ben and Brees both made the 5k per season club.

    But in the end, what matters? Any coach, any team, any player and any fan will all tell you the same - the goal is to win, wins and losses is all that matters.

    144 wins, 163 wins, 113 wins - and 28??????? And don't even think about saying it's because he was never signed again and not the same amount of time. Of course!! He was average. Simple as that.

    And the thought of placing him in the HOF is wrong. No player should be in there that didn't earn it. Know how many folks desperately wanted to earn that, and never achieved it?

    Yup. And possibly drawing major attention to that team. May even sell tickets - at first. But I think it will grow on the team in a negative way. The questions and attention would be endless - to everyone, on non-football related content. And IMO, he's a cancer to the locker room. I also think whatever tickets he sells at first, will quickly dwindle. Partly with die hard true NFL fans who tune in to watch football. Not to watch politics, not to watch kneeling & certainly not to be lectured to by anyone - whether that be via their voice or writing on things. Partly with patriotic Americans that will see kneeling and such and say no thank you.

    I think it's difficult in general for nfl to gauge how kneeling is gonna be taken as sporting events right now don't have fans to cheer or boo when kneeling and the like happen.

    My I prediction is the fans will not like the kneeling whenever the league returns.
