    Gabbert's rating last season was 86.2 and Kap's was 78.5.
    Neither was good and the difference is not huge, but Gabbert was better.

    And yet, what I discussed in that post was interception percentage. So, thanks Buck!

    Yes, and I was introducing QB rating in an effort to further the discussion.
    It's a common element of conversation among polite people.

    If you kneel or thrust your fist in the air during the National Anthem you are protesting the violent racism that is the state of America today.
    If you stand respectfully during the National Anthem, you support the violent racist principles of America.

    This means something, but what I can't fathom.

    Perspective. If you are protesting and honestly and truly hold the opinion that there are significant racial problems in the US isn't it axiomatic that those that don't protest with you hold a contrary opinion? And that standing for the National Anthem, without protest, signifies that contrary opinion

    I was in a school last year with a room that had Confederate flags on the wall. The teacher posted signs outside the room noting that they were part of a History unit on the Civil War and asking people to not get upset. Kinda sad that he had to post those signs.

    Really kind of funny you think that's an insult.

    Pornography is also protected by the First Amendment. Should he have passed out copies of Hustler, too? And if your answer is no, why not?

    NFL & NBA should play Lift Every Voice And Sing following with The Star Spangled Banner. See if anyone kneels or raises a fist during that song
