asked to reiterate he say's there's no plan to work him out but he's on the list.


The Chargers’ decision to consider Kaepernick (at least on paper) stands in stark contrast to how they treated former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. Newton, the 2015 NFL MVP, was passed over by the Chargers, and Lynn’s explanation for that is pretty unsatisfying: “I feel really good about the quarterback room that I have.”



So let’s get this straight: Lynn’s QB room is apparently good enough to allow the team to pass over Newton, a former MVP who’s had two injury plagued seasons, but not so good that it couldn’t be improved by Kaepernick, who hasn’t played in an NFL game in three years. Is anyone else confused?

Maybe the next time Lynn speaks to the media, he can clarify why only one quarterback was worth a chance while the other wasn’t


lol.....translation = plz don't call us out. for anything

This is a very good analogy to the Colin K situation. Cam is generally speaking a highly marketable and decent enough guy. He isn’t being blacklisted or any other shit. He simply isn’t worth 20M a year anymore and everyone in the NFL knows it. What he needs to do is sign a one year deal in a situation where he might actualy get a chance to play. It was the same after the 49ers cut Colin except not only did he come with outrageous salary demands he cane with the racial baggage that advertisers didn’t want and the headaches a backup QB would put on a team it didn’t need. It was a perfect formula not to get signed.

If Newton would play for the Vet min he could just about choose any team the NFL he wanted. Denver suposedly offered Colin a deal but he passed due to $$.

If Colin ran a 4.3 and had great route running ability with decent hands he would be starting next to T Hill in KC by the end of the week. Fucking guy pushed his pregnant girl down a flight of stairs and he was there for the super bowl.
