|SF2| Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 So Collin Kaepernick is having an open workout for all of the NFL teams to showcase his fitness and abilities. This would be the perfect opportunity for Mike Brown and family to help out the league and buy a few years of league Goodwill. The Kaepernick saga has been an issue with the league for years. The payoff for perceived collusion didn't look good and the fact that nobody has signed him has been another thorn in the side of the league from a PR standpoint particularly with many of the players. What better way to put the issue to rest than have some struggling team give ole Collin a shot to quiet the critics? Mike Brown did the league a huge solid when he hired Marvin Lewis, this would be another solid that would keep the owners of his and Katie's back for a few years. It brilliant!!

That is so cute!! Keeping the gravy train running with the least amount of monetary sacrifice is why this franchise exists. Keeping the other owners off their backs makes trips to Switzerland at the trade deadline less noticeable. Sometimes if you take one for the team, it pays out in spades. The Cincinnati Bengals are nothing more than the NFL's wingman. Now talk to that ugly girl so the rest of the league can hit on the cute one!!

Le Tigre Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Guy has been lobbying to any team who might listen. He's been out of football for almost 3 seasons...and was regressing for the final two he did play. He will sign with anyone...anyone. All of the antics and PR stuff aside, why would the Bengals go this route with a dormant regressing player--when their second all-time leading passer has been sent to the dustbin? What is there really to gain--other than novelty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is there really to gain--other than novelty? Purely as means of deflection. Bring some attention to the club where NONE currently exists. Novelty is a great description. From an actual football standpoint, Kaepernick is (probably still) far more mobile than Finely or Andy which seems to be the latest craze with Jackson and Murray. I would say Russell Wilson falls into this category as well but he uses it more to keep plays alive than gain big chunks of yards. Guy has won 4 playoff games which is 1 less than the Bengals franchise. His passing accuracy was an issue but he had utter dogshit at receiver the last 2 years he was at SF. Contrary to popular belief, while he did lose his job to Blaine Gabbart, his QB rating of 90.7 was far better than Gabbarts 68.4. I think in his prime he would be a better QB than Dalton or Finley to run the LA Rams' offense but I think that one trick pony has been figured out. He can be a passable RPO QB on a good team but I don't see the guy having any success here. Until the line is fixed, I don't see anyone having success here.

sparky151 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 The last post reminds me of a comedy scene about the movie industry where an agent is pitching his actor client. Says the client is a big star, globally known. Had some family troubles and took time away. The producer figures it out and says "You're pitching me OJ Simpson, aren't you?"

Catfish Bob Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Most God awful idea I have ever heard. We would have to drop one of our rookie qbs. No way. I'll take both of them over Kap any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 "From a Bengals perspective, paying attention to the happenings there makes some sense with Andy Dalton clearly on his way out the door, leaving — for now — only Ryan Finley as the future of the position." Yeah, like it was his decision. Asshats Taylor will be grasping at major straws, should this charade go through. He's already flailing at the Finley gambit. Sorry Bob.

|westside bengal| Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 If they sign Kap at least when I start taking a knee no one will realize I am really praying for Mike Brown's "leaving". *take the "leaving" remark however you feel.
