Nice to see Seattle is finally getting a pro football team. Maybe the Dragons can put Seattle on the map. Guessing they will be tossing fish at halftime.
 
Did Dale and Brennan name these teams?

Zeke got an offer that puts him at #2 paid RB behind Gurley. But in TX we have no state income tax so technical he’ll be the #1 paid back. Hope he takes it!!
 
Oh you need some stats? OK:

EZEKIEL ELLIOTT --40 games:

868 carries, 4,048 yards, 28 TDs, 4.70 yards-per-carry, 101.20 yards-per-game --

135 receptions, 1,199 yards, 6 TDs, 8.90 yards-per-reception, 30.00 yards-per-game --

TOTAL: 1,003 touches, 5,247 yards, 34 TDs, 5.23yards-per-touch, 131.20 yards-per-game.


Emmitt Smith had the most freakishly productive first-5-years to start a career in league history. How does his first 40 games stack up to what Zeke has laid down??


EMMITT SMITH --40 games:

806 carries, 3,396 yards, 32 TDs, 4.21 yards-per-carry, 84.90 yards-per-game --

94 receptions, 618 yards, 1 TD, 6.57 yards-per-reception, 15.45 yards-per-game --

TOTAL: 900 touches, 4,014 yards, 33 TDs, 4.46 yards-per-touch, 100.35 yards-per-game.

ERIC DICKERSON --40 games:

But let's switch gears here & compare Elliott's career to the first 40 games of five players who many, perhaps most consider the greatest pure runners of all-time:

tl;dr
 
I don't think Kaepernick's... I'll say activism (because this thread doesn't need politics inserted into it) is the biggest hindrance to him being signed anymore. How many seasons has he sat out?

(that being said, apparently there are many teams who still feel like his activism alone is enough to keep him off their roster, or keep them from offering a contract for what he thinks he is worth)

I'll always remember how he made Clay Matthews and the wisconsin team look silly.

But due to his absence from the game, I think he is past being a viable starting NFL QB.
