They should sign him and let him play.
That way everyone will remember what a bad QB he was.

 

[dang]

So he hasn’t played ANY football since the 2016 season? That doesn’t bode well for his readiness to pick up playing in the NFL in 2022. But that shouldn’t stop any interested teams from trying him Out.

Raiders owner Mark Davis is following in the spirit of his late father, Al Davis, who provided many opportunities, such as hiring the NFL's first Black head coach (Art Shell) and its first woman chief executive (Amy Trask) in the modern era. He also was the first owner to draft a Black quarterback in the first round and the second owner to hire a Hispanic head coach, Tom Flores.

Almost feels like the Raiders leaked the story to Schefter in exchange for Schefter including this PR nugget.

I guess the Raiders could use a high-profile camp arm - maybe take some of the focus away from all the negative stuff coming out of that organization.

Just another publicity stunt by this asshat. He'll then demand a starters salary and then bitch and cry wolf when he doesn't sign.

I'm so over this fuckin guy.

I'm getting his jersey.

Just picture Carr's eyeliner when he hears this...

 

[OldSchool]

Meh couldn't care less, if he wins a roster spot good for him and bad for the Raiders because that means their backup QB's suck

Who?

He did have a big arm iirc but he was somewhat scattershot with his accuracy and his touch, he loved to throw the fastball all the time. But there’s only one way to settle this and that’s on the field. I think he mishandled his situation and overvalued his worth. I think he could’ve gotten here faster if he had taken a gig in another league. There’s a lot of not very good qbs in the nfl collecting checks and if he had been tearing it up in some other league that would speak for itself and someone would come calling or not, and he would have been playing which he says is what he loves to do.
He’s big and strong and he might still be fast but that doesn’t mean he can play, there were questions about him 6years ago and I’m sure not playing qb hasn’t improved his skills, but there are backups who should never be allowed on the field and even starters we have questions about. I’m curious to see how this plays out.

Looks to me like some damage control PR coming out of the Gruden aftermath season. Maybe not but this stuff reads like a book sometimes.

Jarret Stidham acquired from New England would seem to be the backup for Carr, however, if they carr 3 QB's they have Nick Mullens & UDRFA in Chase Garbers.

And yet they're trying out Kap. Hence my comment, if he makes the team it means their backups suck because he's not good. One would think this is just a publicity stunt by McDaniels and the team.

I agree plus all Ram fans know about Nick Mullens.

 

[dang]

I wouldn’t mind Kap as a backup QB……………………….5 years ago.

 

[AZRams]

And he's still insisting that he should be a starter.

Dude wasn't a starter when hewas a starter...

McD figures if he started the kneeling then Kaep will be up for anything. He’s Josh’s new secret camera man.

Starting any thread on Kaep is obviously looking for trouble.

This thread will head nowhere good.

Really weird how obviously incendiary topics are allowed to be brought up, over and over, and when the thread inevitably deteriorates into political BS, then the thread gets belatedly locked.

Why not just nip this shit in the bud, and give warnings to posters who start threads like this who should know better?

A Kaep thread ain't gonna be about football. The posters here just don't have the self-discipline for that. We all know it. It's obviously gonna deteriorate into comments about race, which then inevitably leads to politics.

Hope this shit gets locked up.

Duh.
