Quarterbacks???

Which ones?

How many QBs took their teammates girls, causing a conflict that put their teammate in more legal peril than they already were?

please provide me with other examples of this...

I'll give you a close example..

Cade McNown...... He and Tim Couch weren't teammates ..but they were friends, and Cade ended up taking Couch's playmate of the year girlfriend from his friend...

it tainted other players perception of McNown for the rest of his brief career...

other players protested....other players are protesting now.... How many of them are getting cut, or having ANY consequences from their teams

and assuming it's ONLY because of the protest while ignoring all the other factors that had Kap being looked at sideways BEFORE the protest is just missing the point

but see here is the problem with that narrative.... I admired Kap for the protest...he made a statement knowing there would be consequences and he did it anyway...I'll ways respect that.. I wouldn't in any way be considered even slightly leaning to the right.... I've seen racism up close my entire life...my father's real estate business was fire bombed 3 different times in the early 70's in Long Beach California.... my opinion on Kap isn't rooted in anything you just mentioned..

dude's ability as a QB was questioned BEFORE the protest..
his issues with Aldon Smith happened BEFORE the protest...
his work ethic and selfishness was questioned BEFORE the protest....

people are ignoring all of that and hanging it all on the protest even though HE opted out of a contract for this season.

I'm sure there are places where it wouldn't be a good fit..I mean...there were protests in Philly and Pittsburgh over signing Vick...but the teams felt it was worth the risk..

again with the Panthers.... my impression is that since Kap opted out of his deal he's looking to get paid and go somewhere with a chance to start....Carolina isn't that place..

being a back up QB for a team with an already established QB isn't about just being a good QB...there is a support role that a back up in that situation must play..and a guy like Kap would need to prove he is willing to do that...and I'm not sure he has..

honestly the best fit was Baltimore...or now maybe Jacksoville....

as long as you keep ignore the other issues with Kap outside of the protest, to me it's giving a false impression..and the fact that these other guys protesting aren't suffering any consequence actually proves that.
