I hoping they can twist the NFL's arm into hosting a full draft for the Packers 100th year.
But I doubt the NFL lets them... and you know there is no way for a Super Bowl.

I have alot of respect for Rodgers, it takes courage to speak the truth when people don't want to hear it. I also don't like the idea of players just shutting up and getting paid. They have a platform that's larger than most to not use it wastes the opportunity they have to effect change.

I ask Rodgers what he thinks, and he demurs at first, then says it would be "ignorant" to suggest Kaepernick's stance didn't play a role in his employment status.

A few weeks later, he reaffirms his point. "I think he should be on a roster right now," he says. "I think because of his protests, he's not."



I believe this was posed to Aaron back in July?

Aaron thinks Colin should be on a 90 man roster and he's right. Colin has the talent to be on a 90 man roster.

Aaron thinks Colin's protest are why he is not on a roster and he's right.

NFL teams do not want a distraction. If your talent you bring is outweighed by a distraction, you will not get a chance.

Need to have enough talent to outweigh your mouth. Kaepernick doesn't. Especially as nothing but a backup.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Except that's not what the league is saying. They claim he's not on a roster because he's not talented enough and it has nothing to do with his protest.

Rodgers is saying just the opposite, he should be on a roster but he's not because the owners are basically blackballing him. I don't like writers making click bait headlines with no substance but there is a story here, Rodgers is taking a stance the league won't.

Problem is, Colin is not the only QB with enough talent to be on an NFL roster, who wasn't on a roster. There are players all over with enough talent, but because of some other factor were not brought to a team for Training Camp. That could be legal issues, medical issues, drug issues, image issues.

Players talent level needs to outweigh the negative baggage they have, if not, they do not have enough talent.

I must have missed this. When did the league speak out on this and say these things?


Additionally, I read Pete Carroll say Kapernick is a Starting QB in this league, but I just struggle to believe that a guy who was benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert is starting QB material. Plus, I watched the guy play. I have seen him play in person. He has a rocket arm, but is inaccurate and he needs the offense tailored to him.

Distraction > Talent = No roster spot. It's not that hard.
