Colin Kaepernick ?

JerseyCityJoe : 10/12/2018 1:57 pm
Could he be a place holder next year until we find our next quarterback of the future? No matter what you think of his kneeling for anthem he does check some of the boxes for a QB these days.
We can't get political here so  
NewBlue : 10/12/2018 1:59 pm : link
I will simply say NO
..

If any QB plays that's not Eli, it will be Tanney or Lauletta.
I don't care about the kneelings  
BestFeature : 10/12/2018 1:59 pm : link
But he's not a starting QB in the NFL. Plus Mara is probably not a fan of the kneeling and there are parts of this city that will riot if we sign him. You thought benching Eli caused an uproar...
He hasn’t  
mattyblue : 10/12/2018 2:00 pm : link
played in how long?
kaepernick  
Mark C : 10/12/2018 2:01 pm : link
is exactly what this offense needs.
He hasn't played in awhile  
JerseyCityJoe : 10/12/2018 2:01 pm : link
but maybe that's a plus.
Why sign Kap  
Les in TO : 10/12/2018 2:02 pm : link
When we have the great Alex Tanney in the wings
ugh  
fanofthejets : 10/12/2018 2:02 pm : link
Why would you invite that circus in?

If he was a great player he would be playing in the league right now, but what he's capable of producing on the field isn't enough to tolerate the controversy.

Plus most of your fanbase would hate him due to his past ignorant statements and associations with radicals, his support of those who murder police officers etc.
You think things are interesting now?  
Beezer : 10/12/2018 2:03 pm : link
lol

I can't really imagine it.
Hes probably not  
Jerry in DC : 10/12/2018 2:03 pm : link
In good enough shape, but I think this would be awesome. First, just the effing circus would inject some life into the season. And he can run fast, which would help. Chuck it deep and inaccurately.

If we ever won a game it would be amazing when he took a knee to end it. I'm so down for this
NO. Hell no.  
Red Dog : 10/12/2018 2:04 pm : link
NFW.
the last time he played he was beaten out by Blaine Gabbert  
Jay on the Island : 10/12/2018 2:05 pm : link
there are better options without all the off the field issues.
No

Because a circus is more fun than a car wreck. :)
Ummm...No thank you.

I think it's a no-brainer  
Mike in Long Beach : 10/12/2018 2:13 pm : link
My Dad and I were talking about it yesterday. We should bring him in.
So replace a declining QB

with a shitty one?

Where the hell does that make any sense?

We get to waste more cap space which prevents DG from signing another Omameh/Stewart next year?




It's not even like CK is young and could be the future (if he didn't suck). There's 0 upside to this move, either:

a) he sucks as much or more and you endured the circus for nothing
b) he's marginally more effective than Eli and they win an extra game or 2 hurting their draft prospects
He's not good, and hasn't played in quite a while

Now that he's a face on Nike  
WideRight : 10/12/2018 2:22 pm : link
He would be a fool to play again and ruin his reputation.

That too. People seem to think he was much better than he was.

Jim in South Florida : 10/12/2018 2:26 pm : link
Imagine CK running a read option offense with Barkley ?
That would be hard to stop.

Not with this OL
That is not happening.  
Section331 : 10/12/2018 2:44 pm : link
Right or wrong, Mara has been pretty clear that he has heard from season ticket holders about Kaep. He will not be a Giant.

Yeah he was a struggling QB who was on his way out of the league. Some refuse to admit that he wasn't good. He lost the starting job to Blaine Gabbert for christ sakes.
lol..

No.
Giants Fans Will Be Booing Already...  
Jim in Tampa : 10/12/2018 2:57 pm : link
So when Kaepernick comes in to play who will be able to tell if they're booing him?

Sort of like during Loouuuu Pinella or Luuuuke Voit at bats.
No Way

And politics aside, he's getting paid a ton by Nike just to be a pretty face. Pretty good gig. Why would he even want to go back to the grind of a football career now?
So this is what it's come to?

For fucks sake.

Fucking Kaepernick

Hasn’t he heard from the same season ticket holders about Eli?

He did hear from them last year after Eli was benched.

Until Kap turns a sack into a first down on 3rd down. Then things might get interesting. Just saying.

When you throw shit at the wall, sometimes it sticks. Of course it always stinks.
Just to balance things out, sign both CK and Tebow  
jcn56 : 10/12/2018 7:22 pm : link
that way we'll have a full assortment of QBs that can't do much, and we'll have maximum media attention.
I'd sign him in a second!  
Fishmanjim57 : 10/12/2018 9:02 pm : link
Replacing Saint Eli with CK would be a PR nightmare, but this team needs a mobile QB, and Kaepernick would make this team interesting again.
I know it's never going to happen, but imagining the excitement is better than dealing with the reality that's more painful to watch with each game.
If I was Mara I’d do it.  
GoDeep13 : 10/12/2018 9:58 pm : link
Giants fans aren’t going anywhere. We will complain, bitch, and moan all day but we’ll find our way back in front of a TV cheering this team on. It’s part of being a fan.

Plus. I’d give People a reason to watch the Giants and keep prime time
games cause whether they like or hate Kap they are gonna want to know how he’s doing. Plus Kaepernick/Barkley/OBJ RPOs? Yes please!
HELL NO!
