I hoping they can twist the NFL's arm into hosting a full draft for the Packers 100th year.
But I doubt the NFL lets them... and you know there is no way for a Super Bowl.

I have alot of respect for Rodgers, it takes courage to speak the truth when people don't want to hear it. I also don't like the idea of players just shutting up and getting paid. They have a platform that's larger than most to not use it wastes the opportunity they have to effect change.

I ask Rodgers what he thinks, and he demurs at first, then says it would be "ignorant" to suggest Kaepernick's stance didn't play a role in his employment status.

A few weeks later, he reaffirms his point. "I think he should be on a roster right now," he says. "I think because of his protests, he's not."

I believe this was posed to Aaron back in July?

Aaron thinks Colin should be on a 90 man roster and he's right. Colin has the talent to be on a 90 man roster.

Aaron thinks Colin's protest are why he is not on a roster and he's right.

NFL teams do not want a distraction. If your talent you bring is outweighed by a distraction, you will not get a chance.

Need to have enough talent to outweigh your mouth. Kaepernick doesn't. Especially as nothing but a backup.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Except that's not what the league is saying. They claim he's not on a roster because he's not talented enough and it has nothing to do with his protest.

Rodgers is saying just the opposite, he should be on a roster but he's not because the owners are basically blackballing him. I don't like writers making click bait headlines with no substance but there is a story here, Rodgers is taking a stance the league won't.

Players talent level needs to outweigh the negative baggage they have, if not, they do not have enough talent.

Additionally, I read Pete Carroll say Kapernick is a Starting QB in this league, but I just struggle to believe that a guy who was benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert is starting QB material. Plus, I watched the guy play. I have seen him play in person. He has a rocket arm, but is inaccurate and he needs the offense tailored to him.

Distraction > Talent = No roster spot. It's not that hard.
