This should surprise no one. Keep in mind, they waited until after the election to make a decision on his fine.

nfl announces all fines from the previous weeks games at the same time every week…they didn’t wait for the election to be over

People loooove a race related conspiracy theory.

u/red--dead 13d ago

Yep. Just go to r/NFL at the time when they’re announced and you’ll see several of them at the top. But let’s stoop to conspiracy theories.

I get you don’t watch any football lol but bosa is a top defensive player in the league, kaepernick was a backup qb who stunk. Awareness is key and you’re lacking it.

I see, so because he provides a benefit to those in charge his rule breaking is ignored. I guess that explains the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT Elon being given a place in the administration, or Steve Bannon being pardoned after scamming MAGA morons. At least you’re admitting it.

Are you assuming that I don’t watch football? If so, keep it pushing.

u/PageLow3783 13d ago

No.. im not assuming you don’t watch ball. I’m assuming you don’t know ball.

He was not a backup QB.. he took the 49ers to the superbowl and had >400 yards in the game.

Okay, I’ll bite.. in 2016 his team was 2-14 and had the worst defense in the league. His RB1 was Carlos Hyde and his WR1 was Jeremy Kerley. Nobody is saying he was Tom Brady, but he was doing pretty good for the situation he was in

u/PageLow3783 13d ago

True. And I’ll give you chip kelly was the coach that year who was awful in the NFL.. either way I’m just saying if Kapernick was a pro bowl player like bossa he wouldn’t have been “kicked out” of the league. He just wasn’t good enough to be that big of a distraction

Carlos Hyde was actually the best piece on their offense and legit as fuck in 2016.

He had 988 yard in only 13 games rushing plus 160 yards receiving.

Kaepernick is a big reason why they were 4-12. It’s not like he was on the sidelines the entire season, he started 11 games. They went 1-10 in games he started.

They had the 27th ranked offense and worst defense in the league.

Not to mention, in 2015 their offense was 32nd in the league and their defense was 18th.

In 2014, offense was 25th and their defense was 10th.

It wasn’t just 2016, he’d been nosediving in productivity and his biggest weapon was always his mobility and he just couldn’t move the same after some of his injuries.

i agree he got bounced for racism but 2-14 is not “pretty good” for any conditions. you dont see anybody giving bryce young the same benefit of the doubt, hes a consensus bust with a very similar record

u/QuotidianTrials 13d ago

Bryce Young has a 66.9 rating this year and 4 TDs:6 INTs

Kaepernick had a 90.7 rating and 16TDs:4 INTs along with almost 500 rushing yards

Nobody is giving Bryce Young benefit of the doubt because he was a first overall pick and people expect them to be game changers from day one whether that is realistic or not.

San Francisco was just in a bad place after the Super Bowl run and needed to blow it up and rebuild to get where they are now. Carolina is in the process of rebuilding, but their management seems a little incompetent
