In googling old ST posts, I once described Mahomes as Kaep with 15% better tools. 25 teams would take 85% of Mahomes right now.

If you have any question about what ST thinks of Kaep as a player, track down that Super Bowl thread.

The man isn't in the league due to racism and his performing a peaceful protest. Period.

Seattle wouldn't sign him unless he agreed not to take a knee. That shit shouldn't even be legal.

i'm not sure Kaep is that close honestly. maybe 74% of the tools. -- nm* - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:39 10
- Jaws once said that he thought Kaep had the tools to be the greatest QB ever. That was the spring before Chip Kelly ruined everything. -- nm - David Jun 8, 10:41 9
  - maybe, I'm not saying Kaep wasnt talented, he is. espeically if he was on a team with a setup like say the Ravens. - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:42 8
    - Mahomes is definitely the most gifted player I've ever seen. He's OP. -- nm - David Jun 8, 10:43 7
      - Yes, Mahomes is special. Hope he stays healthy. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 10:48
      - (Poor Alex Smith.) -- nm - David Jun 8, 10:44 5
        
        He did 70mil from DC so... -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:54 3
        
        Yeah, but he watched his team draft an insanely talented player at his position twice and then had his knee absolutely wrecked by a third team. - David Jun 8, 10:57 1
        
        and perhaps in the long run, an incredibly lucky man to still have two legs and perhaps even play again -- nm - JD Jun 8, 11:29
        
        i mean its DC, dont they pay the punter like that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:56
        
        bad luck, but also to me a great player in that he was so willing to mentor mahommes for a season. -- (edited) - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:48
The fact noone even signed him to a Practice Squad is very telling what went on. -- nm* - budice Jun 8, 10:27 13
- That’s not entirely realistic. He wasn’t going to take a entry level job just to let them off the hook. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:30 1
  - I was more thinking along the lines of even being on the roster somewhere. -- nm - budice Jun 8, 10:32
- Nathan Peterman is still gainfully employed in the NFL. Kaep isn't. -- nm - David Jun 8, 10:29 10
  - Josh fucking McCown. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 10:39 1
    - There's an old post from the first season after where you pointed out that both McCowns started that year. -- nm - David Jun 8, 10:40
  - Jeebus Tapdancing You Know the Rest. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 10:35 3
    - I just saw your response and I'm sorry. I honestly am not trying to start anything or upset you or anyone else. -- nm - spamlet Jun 8, 10:49
    - It just makes me so angry. I can't even imagine how you must feel. - David Jun 8, 10:36 1
      - Aw, that's so sweet. Thank you. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 10:38
  - Right, but Peterman doesn't get paid what Kaep wanted (and is entitled to). That's what the owners will say, but it misses the point is that they - pmb Jun 8, 10:34 1
    - See below. The best comparison is that Alex Smith got $71 million in guarantees with Washington. Kaep took Smith's job. - David Jun 8, 10:36
  - “We signed Mike Glennon, man.” -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:31 1
    - It was the perfect takedown of the entire situation. - David Jun 8, 10:34
