NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!
- Thread starter Mrs. Gravy
- Start date
I can't find the article now, but Freakanomics did a sports series and covered this topic. Turns out crowd noise in NFL stadiums doesn't effect the players hardly at all. It does affect the refs and how they call the game though.

At George Floyd funeral, Al Sharpton demands Roger Goodell 'give Colin Kaepernick a job'
"Don't come with some empty apology," Al Sharpton said. "We don't want an apology. We want him repaired."

Colin Kaepernick is "more motivated to play than ever"
The early days of the shunning of Colin Kaepernick featured plenty of spoon-fed false narratives to media members who pushed facts that were alternative, at best.

really makes it a no brainer to what I was talking about earlier. Get him on a team where he can compete to be the starter

This is after teams are spending a ton of times doing silent counts, etc. I'd be curious to find out how they measured it "not affecting the players hardly at all", though. Too often see offenses scrambling to get out audible calls and all the false starts on big 3rd downs.

After 3 years out of the league? It's just not realistic at all in my opinion. If we're ruling out teams that still have a "young" QB that they drafted to potentially be their guy in the last couple years, the only two options that make sense in the slightest are Chicago (assuming Foles really was a flash in the pan and Trubinsky still sucks), and Jacksonville (Minshew Mania). Maybe you could add Denver to this list, but after promising results end of last year, even that might be out.

Of course, and why not? Al Sharpton has successfully been shaking people down with his racism game for over 3 decades. It's all he's got. Kaep is feces and his game isn't much better.

I'm pretty sure I'd like to see Kaep come back to an affirmative action job and then fail at it which I think is the most likely scenario. If he did it on the Patriots so much the better. For the record, I never had a problem with the kneeling. I wanted him off the 9ers because he wasn't a good quarterback.

Which team would truly be stupid enough to bring Kaep back. Guy didnt leave being a baller. Has been out the league 3-4 years. Wants way more then hes worth. Comes with the headache of having to deal with an activist > player. On top of all that if he even got the chance to start or even play good luck dealing with the back lash of benching him if he sucks...or the back lash for not letting him play. Every situation is a variation of shit. Good luck to the team stupid enough to take on that cross.

Which coach would put up with it? Which GM? Forced to take garbage QB, then fired later because he sucked...like everyone knew from the very beginning? No one in their right mind would take him. Not Gruden, Petey, Flores, Tomlin, Payton or any other coach with long-term status either. In a league where every player on a squad has value, and every win may be meaningful, who wants to risk their Super bowl chances on a guy that was never very good? It sure as hell isn't Belichick. He wants to prove it was his coaching that got them rings but he takes Kaep? No, he's smarter than that.

Which is the reason he was out of the league in the 1st place. It had fuck all to do with his kneeling, but the drama that came with an average to below average QB. Shit, Shanahan is probably one of the more "woke" head coaches out there, and he had a sit down with Kap when he first came to the 49ers and essentially told him "bye Felicia". He saw Kap's limitations as a QB and knew there was no point even trying to keep him.
