I honestly truly completely legitimately cannot remember a time he had a great game against a dominant defense since 2010 in the Super Bowl. I feel like that was his only great game against a top-ranked defense ever. I know I’m probably wrong, but I certainly cannot remember one.

If he does his job this weekend against the Bears ... all is good in my world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really that dominant of a defense if you give up great games to opposing QBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners have STILL allowed less passing yards per game since 1977 after that game. That should answer all of your questions. Great defenses fear great quarterbacks. Only teams afraid of Rodgers are bad teams. It’s been that way since 2016. Probably longer considering what the Broncos did to Rodgers in 2015.

Golfman Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 9'ers put thier big run stuffer inside, DJ Jones on IR. Between him and the center they lost they are not as good of a team as they were last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 The NFL is officially done with Colin Kaepernick, commissioner Roger Goodell revealed this week, but that’s only half the story. Because of his unwillingness to conform, Kaepernick has also shut the door on the league, and it’s best that both parties finally move forward separately. In the wake of a league-arranged workout for Kaepernick in November that, predictably, fell apart amid finger-pointing between the quarterback and his onetime employer, Goodell said Kaepernick is in the league’s rearview mirror. “This was … about creating an opportunity,” Goodell said in response to reporters’ questions about last month’s scheduled event in Atlanta that Kaepernick canceled at the last minute following multiple disagreements between the sides. “It was a unique opportunity – an incredible opportunity – and he chose not to take it. I understand that. And we have moved on.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Like it should have been from the beginning]. Teams are still permitted to sign Kaepernick if they decide they want to.

Since the settlement at least...perhaps before...but certainly since - the individual teams always had that opportunity. This was Goodell speaking only on behalf of one of the litigants: the league. The league's done with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJerkDave Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The population of the world is about 7.8 billion people. Only Colin Kaepernick got a special event for a tryout from the NFL. And he no-showed the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm assuming the Saints are a spot lower than us on the waiver wire, if so, I guarantee they'll claim him (if he lasts that long). Saints just lost Davenport so getting Suggs in Week 15 would be a dream. I agree. I was thinking the Chiefs could use him as well. I would think that the Vikings or Bears would put in a claim just to keep him away from the: Packers, Saints, 49ers, Seahawks, should any of those teams want him. He would probably help the Chiefs, and it would keep him away from the Patriots and Ravens as well. We could use him, he offers at least as much as Fackrell, and more than Gary. And if nothing else it keeps him from other contenders. But we don't have a very good waiver priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
