So What If Colin Kaepernick Played In Denver Last Year

... to spot open receivers was also better. What partially doomed the passing game was a lack of time, Kaepernick often had to adjust or flee the pocket before receivers had completed their routes. Also, receivers had difficulty getting open. Not surprisingly, the 49 ers’ receivers were the lowest ranked in the league according to __link__. It begs the question, how would have Keapernick fared on another team with a strong defense? For example, let’s say the 49 ers had made the deal with Denver last off-season and he was a Bronco.

Kaepernick helped the 49 ers make the Super Bowl in 2012. Then his production dropped off from 2015-16 - 19 starts (3-16 record), 22 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and a 85.5 rating. Still, Kaepernick's stats weren't terrible in 2016 - 16 touchdowns, four picks, and a 90.7 rating. Plus, he's fairly young. He turns 30 in November. Should the Jets go after him this offseason? Morton certainly can provide the organization with information on what Kaepernick did well from 2012-14. 8 Jets who should be gone in 2017. From a salary cap standpoint, the 49 ers moving on from Kaepernick this offseason makes sense.

Commissioner Adam Silver declined to be interviewed for this story, but NBA spokesman Mike Bass issued a statement: "We don't have anything new to say about a one-game suspension from more than 20 years ago. That said, we would welcome Mahmoud's involvement in the work we do with our NBA legends on community outreach and social responsibility.". Today, Abdul-Rauf, a divorced father of five, lives in Atlanta, where he prays five times a day. He trains players ranging from junior high school up to the NBA - still demonstrating the speed and flair that carried him to a pro career. Nor has he lost his phenomenal shooting touch. Nasir and others close to Abdul-Rauf think he's in such good shape and remains such an effortless scorer that he could still play in the NBA. That's not happening, but it was announced recently he will play in a new three-on-three pro league consisting of other former NBA players, including Kenny Smith, Latrell Sprewell, J. R. Rider and Kenyon Martin. Abdul-Rauf's training sessions are as much about survival as they are basketball, a glimpse perhaps ...

WAYYYYYY. jjackwagon says. Feb 14, 2017 11:40 AM. As a great 49 er coach once said. “It’s more about them, than it is about the team. You cannot play with’em, cannot win with’ em! Cannot coach with’em, can’t do it. I want winners! People that want to win!”. The 9 ers would be better off with just about anyone. bobdancer says. Feb 14, 2017 12:06 PM. His kneeling is less of a distraction in San Francisco than anywhere else. There is a history of civil protest there. In SF, it can be a football decision — and he may be an acceptable option there for a few years. The team has LOTS of personnel problems, and QB is just one of them. They are not going to have the cap space to fix them all in year one of the new regime. Keeping Kaep as an place-holder while they fix other problems might make sense. If Kaep goes anywhere else — it’s both a ...

From Tony Romo Rumors To Colin Kaepernick’s Future To Marijuana

... the stadium is just one. Obviously the stadium project itself, the depth of the market — all of those are things that we’ve studied over the last several months. But that will increase in intensity over the next month or so as we move forward in that process. … As it relates to whether gambling can coexist with the NFL — in fact, it does. “It’s happening today. It’s sponsored by governments. It exists throughout our world. What we have always said is we need to make sure that there’s a fine line between team sports gambling and the NFL.  We want to protect the integrity of our game.”. [ The two Falcons plays (and play calls) that handed the Super Bowl to the Patriots ]. The owners meet in March in Phoenix at the annual league meeting. They meet again in May in Chicago. There is not extreme urgency to get the matter resolved, given that Davis already had planned to keep the franchise in Oakland while a new stadium in Vegas would be under construction.

Their future cannot remain so unsettled indefinitely, can it. The ...

San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick Not Reason For Nfl Ratings Dip

... weeks — the weeks prior to Election Day," wrote Mulvihill. "Following the election, though, total minutes viewed dropped by less than one one-hundredth of a percent through the regular season’s last eight weeks. That is a stunning turnaround that clearly identifies the election as the biggest factor affecting the numbers.". The second main reason Mulvihill gave was the quality of the product not being able to keep up with the growing amount of football on television. "The one theory not related to the presidential campaign that appears to have merit is the idea that the NFL’s inventory of 256 games is being stretched thinner than ever," wrote Mulvihill. "There were 110 NFL television windows this season, the most ever and an increase of 14 new windows since 2009, primarily through added Thursday night and Sunday morning London games. In a league where only about a quarter of the games in any given year will match two teams with winning records, that presents a challenge.". There doesn't seem to be any sign of less football being broadcast ...

... and communities of color.

Why Colin Kaepernick Could Be A Free-agent Mirage

... divisional round. As a thrower he lacked accuracy, a common early-career issue for mobile quarterbacks, but that problem was mitigated or at least masked by having a catapult attached to his body. He averaged 8.3 yards per attempt during the 2012 regular season, and he posted a still solid 7.7 yards in 2013 while throwing 21 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. He was the 49 ers' fresh golden-armed hero. It was easy to buy in and believe a franchise had set itself up with a firm foundation for the next decade or more at the sport's most important position. But believing required overlooking core flaws that defenses would eventually expose, with field vision in the pocket chief among them. The common thought, or at least hope, was that Kaepernick would develop as a passer to become a dynamic and complete quarterback. Let's return to the present day. Instead of progressing, Kaepernick has largely regressed. He's set to turn 30 years old midway through the 2017 regular season, an age when quarterbacks are what the tape and data say, and trying to reverse regression is an exercise that leads to baldness. But in a league where searching for even serviceable quarterback play ...
