I Need A Kaepernick Limited Jersey.sb Help

Are the nfl limited style jerseys actually limited?

No.. They just say that to get people thinking there won't be many produced, might be worth something some day and will buy them....

Is it realistic that Colin Kaepernick could join an NFL team and contribute at this point? He hasn't played in some time now.

Simple answer: probably not.Longer answer: it would heavily depend on the offensive theme of the team considering bringing him in. He is not known as a solid pocket passer, so teams whose offense is based around a QB that needs to be smart and patient and able to read defenses and go through his progressions… all things Kaepernick is not particularly noted for.In addition to that, he would need to learn a playbook, which would take weeks (he would be working from a very limited set of plays in the interim). So he would not come in and be very effective outside of that very limited set of plays, and would not progress faster than the rate he’s able to absorb the rest of the playbook.And then there’s physical conditioning. Is it possible that he’s been working out like a fiend, and is in better football shape than he was in 2016. Is that probable? Highly doubtful.Bottom line is that, even if someone brought him in today with the aim of making him their starter, he probably wouldn’t be fully effective until the season was nearly over. If you’re going to develop what is essentially a project QB, why not work with a guy you probably just drafted? Most teams have a developmental QB on the roster for this purpose. They have the starter, the reliable/journeyman backup, and the young guy who, if the starting QB got hit by a bus today would be expected to compete for the starting job next year. That guy probably costs less than a tenth of the salary Kaepernick would demand, so why spend millions when you can probably get the same performance out of a guy that’s making $600K, and you know he won’t bring a media circus with him?

Is Colin Kaepernick disrespecting the flag with his protest?

I've been engaged in a lot of discussion on this topic mostly just because it interests me. I've engaged in this discussion in several different venues.First, some background.In my opinion, it is just as disrespectful for someone to fail to doff their headgear while the national anthem is playing. I have been critical of NFL players for years because there always seems to be some that are on the sidelines with their skull caps or their baseball caps or their doo rags covering their heads, but I haven't been offended about it. To the contrary, the only reason I stand for the national anthem and remove my headgear is to be respectful of the people around me.Since it took until now for someone to actually act offended about people disrespecting the national anthem in such a way, I had to wonder if there was something else involved that offended people. So I started specifically asking that question, and the responses I received have been astounding.The general consensus among the people who are offended is that it wasn't the act of not standing that offended them. It's the disrespectful things he said in regards to why he didn't stand.I went through all of the press releases and interviews over the past few days regarding Colin Kaepernick, and I couldn't find a single thing that a normal person would deem as being offensive. So I came to a simple conclusion. Apparently, many people in this country are offended just because someone pointed out that racial inequality exists in the United States of America. And that means that people are racist.I find it ironic that these peole who are offended are exactly the reason why people like Colin Kaepernick feel shame at being American.

Has signing Kaepernick paid off for Nike?

Average quarterback? Average quarterbacks don't sacrifice his career and life for a cause. He could have easily done nothing. There are a lot of average quarterbacks including Tom Brady, who don't have the courage to buck the system even though they know it's wrong.
