If your offense is based in part on the mobility of the quarterback, all three of your quarterbacks should be mobile. It's ridiculous that the Eagles now have to play a different style of offense with Foles.
And be done with this whole issue. Who cares if he plays and does well or sucks. If it helps put this whole collusion protest thing in the rear view I'm all for it. I for one would be curious to see how he does. If he's this great player everyone claims he is, they shouldn't skip a beat between him and Wentz.
The media storm in Philly would bring this team down real quick
Yay! Free Kaep!
That asshole and that asshole franchise deserve each other.
Agree on the Eagles being assholes, but please explain the rationale makeing a guy donating millions of dollars to a worthy cause an asshole?
Well, I don't know Colin K. personally, so I don't know if he is or is not an asshole; however, donating lots of money to a worthy cause does not preclude someone from being an asshole.
...makes sense. There aren't a ton of QBs available out there with any NFL experience and they need another QB behind Foles. I can't think of any better options off the top of my head and signing a QB with no experience with the team and little to none in the way of NFL game experience would be a wasted roster spot at this time. Hopefully he shows enough to get a camp invite next year.
Considering "asshole" is a fairly subjective term, not really sure there is a factual analysis available for proving one's position as asshole. I think my neighbor is an asshole, I'm pretty sure his wife does also; but the guy 2 doors down really likes him. Of course he's an asshole too, so wtf does he know?
I could write a few pages on this subject but don’t have the time, so I’ll try to give you as many facts as time allows. It's kind of long (that's what she said).
One of the reasons I called him an asshole is because, though he may have good intentions, his ignorant misguided activism along with that of BLM, et al, has resulted in increased violence and the loss of many innocent lives, including many and mainly blacks.
“Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881… The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.
The reason for the current increase in violence and murder is what some have called the Ferguson Effect. Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media and BLM activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 a.m., many officers are instead just driving by.
Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January 2017. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.”
“Contrary to the BLM narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.”
How many innocent cops have been killed in the last year or two because of BLM? And some of those innocent cops were black! I guess black cops lives don't matter.
I could give you all kinds of stats from the FBI database to back up my reasoning. And we could go over the Grand Jury decision in the Ferguson trial. The fact that Michael Brown was not an innocent “gentle giant” as some have portrayed. He had just robbed a convenience store and had assaulted the police officer, punching him in the face and reached into his car.
I’m not saying that there are no bad cops or that none of them ever make a bad decision. But there are nearly 1 million cops in this country and the vast majority are simply trying to do their job; which in my opinion is a really difficult one. And now more than ever, they all have big targets on their backs. The bad ones (I believe a very tiny minority) should be weeded out, but don’t paint with a broad brush and portray nearly a million cops as racist murderers.
And to say that this country oppresses minorities is interesting considering when he made the statement, the President of that country was black.
Name one other country where a 13% minority has reached such success in politics, pop culture, entertainment, etc.
Are there racists in the US? Yes, but according to the Anti-Defamation League, the number of people who are members of the KKK or who “identify with the Klan ideology”, is about 3000. If you take that as a percentage of the population (about 325,000,000), it comes out to 0.00%. You have to go to the fourth decimal place to get 0.0009%. That’s an extremely low number and I would like someone to find me one country where there aren’t any ignorant people who dislikes someone because of race.
How about slavery? I could write a few pages on this alone. Thanks to some educators, activists, politicians and media, a lot of people seem to think slavery originated in America or that the U.S. was the last to abolish it. The truth is that slavery has existed for thousands of years and is occurring, though illegally, in some parts of the world to this very day!
I grew up in a state that abolished slavery around the time of (shortly after) the founding of the nation as did most of the northern, most populous states.
I could give you a long timeline showing when America abolished slavery compared to other countries. You might be surprised. Like most countries, it was a gradual process. It took war and a tremendous loss of life for slavery to be finally abolished throughout the U.S. Approximately 2 million mainly white Americans, including a direct ancestor of mine, risked their lives and about 360,000 died while serving the Union army.
To add to the reasons I think Kaepernick is ignorant is how he has praised Fidel Castro. How can an intelligent person praise a man who truly oppressed and murdered his own people? And for Kaepernick to make his statement (with his attire) in south Florida where so many were victims, some whose family members were murdered by that oppressive murdering communist dictator? Yes, he’s an ignorant asshole.
And if someone like Kaepernick really wants to be a hero, how about doing something to get to the root of much bigger problems, such as protest the shitty education so many minorities get in inner cities because.. I better not go any further as it will really get political.
Poor education resulting in lack of employment, drug abuse, broken families, etc. is one of the primary causes of 97% + of black murders, imo.
If your offense is based in part on the mobility of the quarterback, all three of your quarterbacks should be mobile. It's ridiculous that the Eagles now have to play a different style of offense with Foles.
Completely agree - but Houston should have never let it get to this point. When they realized what they had with Watson, Kaepernick should have been brought in immediately to back up with Savage shown the door or practice squad.
But as we know, the Houston owner is more interested in keeping inmates from running anything... as a result, Houston is 1-6 without Watson and 3-3 with him... the last few weeks having witnessed some of the worst QB play we've seen in some time.
FWIW, both Florio and Rapoport say the Eagles have no interest. Â
but there's racism in every country in the world. Let's deal with the racists among the police departments but not act like racism is endemic. How many times has the police officer involved been black? The media usually doesn't mention that. Nor do they talk about when unarmed whites are killed. They also don't talk about how many police are assaulted and even killed by unarmed criminals.
It's a fact that violent crime is up pretty significantly in many cities and it's a pretty well known fact that police are no longer policing certain neighborhoods because a) they're damned if the do, damned if they don't and b) they have a big target on their backs. And many of the police officers are black!
I don't have anymore time for this, so have a nice day.
C'mon, there are so desperate they'd take a forfeit in the SuperBowl and subsequently have a parade........
There's no way Kaep is coming in, learning the playbook that quickly, and contributing. Plus......he hasn't been on the field in how long?
Yay! Free Kaep!
That asshole and that asshole franchise deserve each other.

They call you Turd for a reason.
That distraction is too enormous at this point. Just a NFW idea...
