Do you still feel the same way? He would have been starting last year with or without the protest once he recovered from injuries. The protest put his career in jeopardy, that's why your argument never made sense.

He was benched by two different coaching staffs for Blaine damn Gabbert and had the same number of wins last year in 11 games as Gabbert had in 5. He is not a starter in the NFL anymore.

I've never liked Kaepernick as a person or player and when he was viewed as a cocky d-bag that was labeled as Sack-or-Pick on NT nobody cared how much he would get bashed on here til he started protesting. That's why I believe his plan worked. Nobody liked him, nobody cared about him anymore other than making fun of some of the terrible passes he would throw but then he gets down on one knee and is a hero to millions of people that hated him. It shouldn't matter to you or any others whether I think his actions have been sincere or not. None of us have the exact same opinions about everything.

Pats Score Often in 52-7 Rout, But Did They Cross the Line?

Monday, October 29, 2007
FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 28 -- There have, in the history of the Washington ********, been worse losses than the one Sunday afternoon on the highway between Boston and Providence. But none of them had occurred since 1961.

Not that the players who stumbled in helpless pursuit of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could think much about historic context in this 52-7 defeat. Comforted in recent weeks into thinking they were one of the better teams in the NFL, they were shocked into a different reality by the team widely considered to be the best in the league.

"It's an utter embarrassment," said linebacker London Fletcher, who called the defeat the worst he has endured in his life. "My stomach is nauseous."

The Patriots are 8-0, considered the best team in the NFL along with the 7-0 Indianapolis Colts, whom they play next Sunday. Yet given the fact the ******** had been able to stop some of the better passing attacks in the league and had players big enough to beat up New England's star receivers, this was seen as a game that might be closer than ******** Coach Joe Gibbs suggested earlier in the week when he said his team might be the biggest underdog ever.

Still, nothing the ******** tried against New England seemed to work. Left guard Pete Kendall joked that after spending the week studying New England on video, "they move a lot slower in slow motion" than in real time. Washington's plan, like many other teams' plans against the Patriots, was to try and run the ball. New England's defensive backs tend to play farther downfield than those on other teams in hopes of keeping stopping long scoring plays. But try as the ******** might, they couldn't run.

Or pass. One Patriot, linebacker Mike Vrabel, raced past befuddled Washington linemen three times and knocked the ball from Campbell's hands, with each fumble being recovered by New England -- one for a touchdown.

"They kicked our butts, they really did," said tackle Todd Wade, who was beaten by Vrabel for one of the fumbles.

But most alarming was the sight of Patriots Coach Bill Belichick, late in the game, asking Brady to convert a fourth-down play in an attempt to drive the score higher. It is a tactic called running up the score. And it is rarely done in professional football -- especially to Gibbs, the ******** coach in his second tour with the team. So when Brady converted and later dived into the end zone for a touchdown, the 68,756 at Gillette Stadium roared.

Gibbs glared. After the game, he barely shook Belichick's hand as he raced off the field.

Later, when asked about the play, Belichick stared for a moment.

"What do you want us to do, kick a field goal?" he said.

Then he shrugged.


poor old joe gibbs got the score run up on him. awwww....poor old widdle BA
