Default Another controversial Kravitz article.

Indy fans have spoken on the Kaepernick issue, and what they’re saying is: NO!!!

http://www.wthr.com/article/kravitz-...e-saying-is-no


He reaches really hard for similarities.

Many articles are how there where an owner's words don't really match up with their wallet.


There is too much controversy to bring someone like this to a small market. Once again it's also a familiar name we confuse with actually having talent.

But the part that really made me laugh was in his previous article "Kaepernick’s presence would force the Colts’ offensive coaches to do what Jim Harbaugh did so brilliantly in San Francisco; namely, build a college-style offense around him".

Brilliant is not something I would confuse with this coaching staff.

He isn't a good fit here. I don't give a shit about his protests

Irsay does.

Even if the guy's skill set did fit, Jim made it clear with Cromartie and Moore that using this organization as a platform, for that specifically, will not be acceptable.

It's not one of the most "progressive" things The Colts have done but I can understand where Jim is coming from business wise. Indiana is not an especially diverse state and having grown up going to school there, there is an awkward level of ignorance (possibly indifference, but probably probably both) there.

I'd bet $ that he's better than Tolzien or Morris, but they can't change to a college offense for him. Although it certainly factors in, I'll keep my opinions about Indiana conservatism and racism to myself.

I have to wonder if the guy wants to play anymore. If I'm his agent, ask him to apologize (no one cares if he means it), stand for the anthem and play some football.

But the coaching change their approach? We're still waiting on that during the Pagano era.

You would bet money that Kaepernick is a better professional than Tolzien or Morris, but only if Indianapolis was running a "college" (amatuer) offense?

He's a better player than Tolzien, but let's be honest, aren't the Colts better off in the long run losing 9-10 games this year? Pagano would be gone and Ballard would have better picks to work with to continue rebuilding.

At a certain point you're better off with the semi-tank job than settling for a 3rd straight season of mediocrity.

A "professional" Tolzien might win 2-3 games on this schedule. I think they'd get more production from Kaepernick. Tolzien sucks. Morris has some potential but isn't anywhere close to starting NFL QB level.

He has nothing to apologize for

Maybe for some pretty mediocre QB play.
