The Tuesday redux:
Case Keenum keeps job after LA challenges Frisco for "most hopeless team" in the NFC West. Opening your new season for a new city and you: (i) get shut down by, on its best day, an average defense, (ii) get killed by Carlos Hyde while being (iii) unable to force a single turnover from Blaine Gabbert or even sack him once. They don't hand out report cards for first games, but when both sides of the ball regress against one of the previous season's weakest teams -- you get a fucking F.
"We're not dirty."
Kaep and Ko expands its ranks.
As 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and safety Eric Reid kneeled during the playing of the national anthem in their continued gesture to raise awareness of social injustices against African-Americans and minorities in the United States, teammates Antoine Bethea and Eli Harold joined them before Monday's victory over the Rams.
Bethea and Harold stood for the anthem, but each raised a fist, as did Rams defensive end Robert Quinn and wide receiver Kenny Britt.
Kaep and Dil-weed-fer.
Dilfer’s blast was even more pointed, as the former quarterback said that Kaepernick "is a backup QB whose job is be quiet and sit in the shadows," while claiming that the controversy has "torn at the fabric of the team."
...
"I think that’s one of the most ridiculous comments I’ve heard," Kaepernick told reporters following the 49ers' 28-0 victory against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium. "The fact (Dilfer) says, 'You are a backup QB, stay in your place.' That’s an issue.
That is rich talk coming from Trent, a dude who's major claim to fame is a Super Bowl ring he won by having the tremendous good fortune to be on the right team at the right time. You could have propped up a scarecrow in the backfield and as long as the hay was thick enough for the football to stick in after the hike, that team still wins that championship. That ring should be engraved with "Ringo" instead of "Trent."
"But at the end of the day, there's still a little sour taste in my mouth." That taste might be Downtown Tony Brown's dick after your entire secondary sucked it last night.
Browns don't regret failure to draft a QB on QB. I assume because they have so many other failures to regret, that one's too far down the list to think about.
