Richard Sherman

[Uncle Ruckus]

How the 17 did get into Stanford? Have they ever been investigated for acedemic fraud? I bring this up because you have to be a complete 17ing idiot to say that Kaepernik is being blackballed and could be a starter on 20 NFL teams. Feel free to add someone I may forget, but
Miami - Tannehil
NE - Brady
Titans - Mariota
Colts - Luck
Pit - Ben
Cinci - Dalton
Ravens - Flacco
KC - Smith (lol)
Raiders - Carr
SD - Rivera
NY - Eli
2018 SB Champs and NFL MVP - Dak
Philly - that rookie who's name escapes me
Wash - Cousins
Seattle - Wilson
Arizona - Palmer
GB - Rodgers
Detroit - Stafford
ATL - Ryan
TB - Jameis
Panthers - Cam
NO - Brees
Those guys are without a doubt better than him. That leaves 10 teams I didn't list, with 1 being th 49ers. So 9 teams. Man, I 17ing can't stand Richard Sherman.

What Sherman doesn't understand is that money talks. Kaep is not good enough to compensate for the potential lost revenues from fans of a team not attending games. If he was good enough, he'd have a job. He can't just start for a team. They need to think he can help them win big.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I think he's not interested in being a backup either. I'd think he'd already be signed up to a small contract as a #2 by now

Richard Sherman is above average intelligence and did moderately well in school and was a communications major. He just likes to run his mouth and enjoys attention and occasionally plays the victim card, but when it comes to intelligence... i'd rather have him than eli manning if we had to use our brains to work out a non polarizing problem/issue. Kaep is an average QB like RS states... but he critically damaged his ability to get paid by polarizing/alienating certain people in a fan base... and to be fair to Sherman's observation there are guys that have beaten their wives that are getting huge deals and even though that isn't in the article it does present a good point. Are we really okay as fans with wife beaters more than someone that feels like a victim and protests by not standing during the national anthem? Kaep's protest was somewhat understandable at first, and then he said some really dumb stuff and continued to do so over and over and that's when many that initially supported really started to distance themselves from him that's what Sherman forgets.... when it comes to money... the big revenues are TV and licensing deals not people in the seats but those do go hand in hand. Let's say if Dallas signed Kaep instead of drafting Dak tens of millions in sales from jerseys wouldn't exist... sure a lot would have bought Kaepernick jerseys initially.. but a whole lot wouldn't have wanted to get their kids a Kaepernick jersey for christmas. The end have a good weekend.

If Kaep could play, I have no doubt that he'd have a job. His biggest issue right now is that he's just not that good

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

OF course he is being blackballed. My thing is, who cares? NFL is a business and he chose to show his *** by kneeling during the anthem and now he's suffering the consequences. He is not entitled a job and when you do **** like he did, you're less likely to have one. Nobody wants that on their team and owners have every right to sign and not sign who they want. (Obviously to an extent)



Can't have your cake and eat it too. You made your bed, now lie in it. Typical liberal cry babies who want to do whatever they want, then when consequences come the world is against them.

Edit: at least nobody wants to deal with his **** for the price he is probably seeking. Too bad so sad disrespectful mfer.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I think there's a podcast about finding him. I didn't even know he was missing.

Oh, Sherman not Simmons.**

 

[thatsbaseball]

Wonderlic: Eli 39 , Sherman 24 ummm I`ll take Manning. Hell for that matter I`ll take Kaep at 38 ...just not for my NFL team

 

[MarkDallas]

I thought we were talking about over priced clothes in Starkville.

 

[Seinfeld]

Am I crazy or did he not just voluntarily opt out of a $20M contract with the Niners in order to see what he could get elsewhere? That's gotta go down as one of the dumber decisions of all time for a pro athlete

Latrell sprewell say that's nothing.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

He's not being blackballed. He's just awful. He's lost way too much weight and his accuracy has always been an issue. It's gotte worse in the last two years.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

The wonderlic test is 50 questions in 12 minutes. It is a poor test for judging ones critical thinking skills. it is good for judging someone's ability to think quickly using logic and math

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

He's no doubt being blackballed for fear of any negative backlash in the profit margins. But he is no doubt not an NFL starter for 20 teams bc of poor mechanics, decision making and gm mgmt.

 

[patdog]

It's a fairly good test, and the difference between 39 and 24 isn't even close. Sherman would have never sniffed a chance of getting into Stanford if he couldn't play football.

 

[patdog]

It's a combination of being blackballed and just not being good enough. Tom Brady could not stand for the national anthem and he'd have his choice of teams to play for. Carson Wentz would be out of the league if he did that. Kaepernick is a lot closer to Wentz than he is to Brady.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

no doubt on getting into stanford but people that get a communications degree are definitely going to score less than someone that gets a business degree. 2 different types of thinkers... for all we know RS could have gotten every question he answered right but didn't make it halfway through the test because he takes more time to think things through. it is a terrible test to analyze ones critical thinking skills... one can make a 100 on a timed multiple choice test but bomb a test that is done more like a case study with plenty of time to think about applying the skills because they suck at critical thinking

 

[stateguy]

Glad he's not getting a job

Heard someone make the case he's doing all this b/c he wants out of football

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

It boils down to the game is entertainment. Winning covers a lot but you can't be a marginal player and be disliked. Tebow has gotten multiple chances because people like him but his talent keeps him from playing. It also works the other way. Kap is decently talented but fans don't like him. He isn't a good enough player to overcome it.

 

[seb304]

dollars to donuts Sherman is smarter than you

 

[aTotal360]

Christ. Kaep is not "blackballed". He want's +$14M to more than likely be a backup. He WALKED AWAY from $14.5M when he didn't opt in for the last year of his contract. The money he is asking simply isn't worth. Especially when you count the baggage. He's a divisive guy that the media loves to prop up. Think about this. His shtick couldn't survive in the most liberal city in the western hemisphere. How the 17 is he suppose pull it off in somewhere else.

 

[patdog]

He's not.

 

[coach66]

Nailed it, he made his bed now he doesn't

Want to sleep in it.

 

[boatsandhoes]

Maybe I'm alone, but it pisses me off to listen to a guy who makes 14 million a year complain (protest) about injustices from cops. Apparently it pisses a lot of ppl off. cops are #12 on the list of problems. Let's deal with #1, 2, and 3 first then I'll listen. Until then, shutup snowflake.

Didn't mean to be political, just my belief around what started his whole temper tantrum.

 

[Son_of_34]

Kaep has done more for president daddy Donnie T...just saying

On that list, I'd take Kap over Palmer who is getting to be way over the hill, and arguably Rivers and Eli who are trending that same direction. In the right system, he's also better than Flacco who is mediocre at best. But you're right, 20 teams may be a bit much. That doesn't mean Sherman is totally wrong though. Even if it is only 9-13 teams, that is still a hell of a lot that need a QB.

This is true, and I think that's all Sherman was saying. His whole point was Kap isn't getting interest because of the off-field stuff (not because of his ability or lack thereof), and that is true even though his numbers were off. Also used Matt Schaub as an example of how bad QB's get chances to walk into a starter role all the time.

Personally, I read it as Sherman just speaking freely about the situation and not necessarily belly aching about Kap not getting a chance. I think it's the media trying to stir up the controversy by saying Sherman thinks Kap is being treated unfairly.

Stanford accepts less than 5% of applications.
Its safe to say most student athletes there wouldnt have been accepted based only on academics.
Most general applicants are denied acceptance too.
