He's lost a lot of credibility at this point. He was offered a two year deal worth $7M. That was fair considering how awful his last season was as a 49ER.
After the news came out yesterday that he wanted $20M to play in the AAF? He's coming off as just flat out greedy to me. Which doesn't help his cause that much. He was a pretty exciting player for a brief moment in time. Other than that. Not much to really look at statistically.
This.
Or when the Ravens brought him in and were ready to sign him. Then he refuses to renounce his girlfriend tweeting out that the owner Steve Biscotti is a white supremacist and Ray Lewis is an uncle tom along with a picture from "Django Unchained" of a slave and their master. Saying this to the first owner to hire a black GM (Ozzie Newsome) and Ray Lewis who has done a tremendous amount of things for the black community.
After tannehill tore his acl, he couldve gone to miami (his childhood favorite team actually) but when half of the population is cuban who fled from the socialist regime ... you kinda can't alienate them by signing a man that publicly praised Fidel Castro and stated that he is a far better leader that has done more for education and cubans etc. than anyone in the US. I'm sorry but you shot yourself in the foot on both of those occasions. also he had a player option to come back to the niners in 2017 for 10$ million+ fully guaranteed, he opted out thinking he was worth more and then passed on Elway's offer saying it wasnt lucrative enough... you did it to yourself.
On top of it all. He's never had a season with 3,500 yards passing, topped 20 passing TD's ONCE, has a career completion % of under 60%, and as a scrambling QB has topped 500 yards rushing TWICE. On top of all that in 2016 he was 1-10 as a starter after regaining his starting gig from blaine gabbert (also noteworthy is that he only started kneeling after he lost his starting job to Blaine prior to the 2016 season). Like you put up those less than pedestrian stats with the best oline in the nfl at the time. Vernon Davis & Delanie Walker in their primes at TE, Crabtree and Anquan Boldin at WR, and Frank Gore who is a top 5 rb all time in terms of production. With literally every piece of talent around you THIS is the production you generate?!?!? My god Bortles has more impressive numbers than this with far less talent around him. Lets not kid ourselves, Kaepernick is objectively an awful quarterback.
Championship Formula:
