He derailed his career by sucking. The league figured him out and he was too dumb to know how to change. He then lit his career on fire with the activist shit which inflated his ego to ridiculous proportions and demanded a bunch of money and a starting job so he never became a low-cost reclamation project. This was after he got beaten for a starting job by Blaine Gabbert.

He's an idiot who sucked. Final answer.

It's really the balance of he regressed to a more average scrambling QB as he got found out, demanded a market resetting contract, and the ensuing media circus surrounding him.
I really think the "benching for Gabbert" thing isn't a dock against him considering it was Tomsula who did it, but by 2014 he was a textbook aging scrambling QB whose inclusion on the roster guaranteed a media circus, and that made him radioactive to most of the league.
It wasn't until after his girlfriend hot take'd him out of a starting gig with the Ravens and he was well into the weeds of the social justice shit that he was well and truly blackballed, before that it was much more a weighing of pros and cons for league owners.
 
Fuckin' A, what a night. I do wish the matchup was Burrow vs Brady, simply for the storyline (as gay as that might sound), but Burrow vs Stafford makes for an All-Midwest Super Bowl and that gives me a tard grin for the ages.

It's not the 80's rematch I might've hoped for, but it gives me a true underdog to root for in the Bengals, at the cost of a much funnier Niners offseason where the fanbase tears themselves to shreds trying to rationalize trading their Super Bowl QB because they sold the farm for a project replacement.

Kap was banned by owners. He got a massive settlement from the league because of it -

$10 million to the NFL is "Go away, nigga," money. Especially since they must've made him agree to an NDA in suppository form to shut him up. Plus it looks like he shared it with Eric Reid. Big money to me and probably thee, but not to these people.

he was deliberately being kept from being hired by ownership despite his performance and his willingness to tryout and do interviews with them.

I might actually have some sympathy here if he also hadn't acted like a complete bellend when the Falcons tried to bring him in for a tryout. I mean, c'mon.

God that Falcons tryout made it so obvious that the only reason he whines about not being a starting QB anymore is so Nike keeps paying him endorsement money.
He had his shot to be a replacement for an aging Ryan, on the team with the blackest fanbase in the league, so it sells well for his social justice persona, and he fled to some random high school to tank the tryout.

Dude's career was a comedy of errors and I honestly wonder if it was because he had some sort of mental breakdown when his QB skills started slipping.

Tebow seemed to go through the same shit.

No way he was going to deal with being compared to Michael Vick.
 
Football media is just chock full of "Burrow is the next Brady" hot takes today.
You guys did all of this already two years ago with Patrick Mahomes, give it a rest goddamn. There will never be another Brady. Stop forcing it.
I'm too young to remember, but was it like this with constant Joe Montana comparisons every time a QB started playing real good?

Only with Steve Young, who was his direct replacement.





Edit: I don't know where else to put this since it doesn't deserve it's own thread. Apparently Johnny Manziel's ex-wife got knocked up by Nick Cannon of all people. Nick Cannon somehow still has less kids than Phillip Rivers, but he's closing in fast.
