After wresting the starting job from Alex Smith in 2012 and leading San Francisco to the cusp of a Super Bowl victory http://www.seahawkscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-phil-haynes-jersey , Kaepernick has seen his fortunes do a 180. After struggling to maintain his spot on the field the last two years, the once promising star opted out of his contract. He currently stands on the outside looking in. Normally this might not be a huge story. Instead, Kaepernick’s decision to take a knee during the National Anthem last year has catapulted his plight to the forefront of the dead period between free agency and the NFL Draft.Identifying the reasoning behind Kaepernick’s inability to land a contract has polarized fan bases. It’s a volatile situation with a multitude of factors. Extreme opinions exist on both sides of the spectrum. Somewhere in the middle, however, statistics and business make for a less combative evaluation. This article will aim to stay there.The numbers against Kaepernick are relatively simple. He completed 59.2% of his passes last season. That’s good for 26th in the league – also known as 1.7% less than Case Keenum (currently unsigned) and only 0.2% more than Brock Osweiller (traded to the Browns for nothing). He also finished 23rd in QBR with a 55.2. Kaepernick is reportedly seeking $9-10 million dollars a year. It doesn’t add up. Even before the controversy Ugo Amadi Jersey , Kaepernick lost his starting job to Blaine Gabbert in 2015. Blaine Gabbert. That’s not easy to do.Those in the quarterback’s corner also have numbers at their disposal. He threw 16 touchdowns to four interceptions in 2016. It’s a solid ratio that showcases his ball security through the air. Regardless of the league’s adjustments, Kaepernick remains a dual threat (468 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 2016). He also manned his team to one Super Bowl appearance and two NFC Championship Games. Not many quarterbacks who do that in five years as a starter find themselves out of a job, especially when unknown commodities like Mike Glennon are receiving $45 million deals. There is more than enough evidence to cry foul.Ultimately, everything comes down to business. Are there owners and GMs out there who view Kaepernick as a player who can provide them with starting caliber play or needed depth for an agreed upon price. He’s undeniably one of the top 64 (first and second string) quarterbacks in the league. That’s a categorical fact. His price must come down, and eventually it will. Which teams will be there with offers when it does? Which organizations won’t even consider him? Keep reading below and feel free to comment with other possibilities. Bill Belichick showed up at the coaches’ breakfast fashionably late Tuesday morning. (He was not the last coach to arrive.)Belichick stood while the other coaches sat http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-drew-sample-jersey , and he said nothing.Well, the Patriots coach said , but it really amounted to nothing.According to Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com, Belichick fielded 116 questions in 43 minutes. He answered with 1,790 words http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/trayvon-mullen-jersey , an average of 15.4 per question. He used “we’ll see” 21 times and “I don’t know” 13 times.Reporters tried hard to get Belichick talking. He was most forthcoming when asked about his summer reading list, though perhaps with a bit of trolling. “There’s plenty of them,” Belichick said. “I’d have to take my personal favorite as Football Scouting Methods, though I think I’m a little partial on that. There’s a lot of great books out there. Some authored by people at this table, as well. There’s some authors in our presence.”Belichick did not show up just to avoid a fine: He skipped the event in 2011 and 2017 http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/isaiah-johnson-jersey , per Howe.
