Why is Russ' lifestyle a distraction?

Yes, if Kaepernick can take his stand by kneeling, Seahawks fans in the stands can take their stand fleeing.RiverDog":dimdamhr said:Smelly McUgly":dimdamhr said:The only people distracted by any of that stuff are the fans, and honestly having some of those type of fans turn away from the Seahawks if Kaepernick were signed would only be a bonus.
You can't be serious. If the prerequisite for being a fan was to agree with every signing no matter what the issue or concern might be, then the stands in most every stadium in the league would be pretty empty.
I don't agree with your disagreement with his politics because an athlete's politics are irrelevant to me. I care about their on field performance and related. Keapernick is horrible for the money you would have to pay him in comparison to other choices that would be no worse, cost less and have fewer issues.RiverDog":jm3ruzq6 said:Smelly McUgly":jm3ruzq6 said:The only people distracted by any of that stuff are the fans, and honestly having some of those type of fans turn away from the Seahawks if Kaepernick were signed would only be a bonus.

I do however completely agree with the opinion to completely disagree with any signing and most especially showing so with your wallet. It may be meaningless in the end or not depending on the situation but it's both a valid choice and opinion.

That's simply not true.
KS explained that THE 49ERS aren't resigning him because the offense he would excel in isn't a good match for the offense KS is running. (And let's be honest here, KS and JL's efforts at making a clean break from the last few years obviously have at least something to do with all of this too -- you don't let go of a very successful late 30s kicker and replace him with a less successful late 30s kicker unless you're making a clean break).
KS's comments do point to something real -- it's totally reasonable that Kap's market as a starter might be limited to teams which are interested in running offenses that he'd excel in, and his market as a backup might be limited to teams who run offenses his skillset would fit into well -- but that KS said he isn't finding work because of his skill set is simply untrue.
In any offense Kap is as good or better than what the Texans, Broncos, Jets, Browns, Jags, or Bears have at QB right now.
As a backup his skill set would also be a huge improvement over what the Panthers, Seahawks, and Titans have at #2 right now, and all three of those teams have starting QBs who were really banged up last year.
#2 on the Cowboys also makes a ton of sense, as if Dak really regresses they're going to have a ton of problems, and with Glennon gone #2 on the Bucs works too.
That doesn't mean he's getting blackballed, but that's 1/3rd of the league for which you can make a case for Kap maybe being useful in a bridge starter or backup role.

No Thanks.....He is too tall.
