EA Sports surprised NFL fans on Tuesday with the announcement that former San Francisco 49ers [...]
Does it congratulate you when you cut him also?

Lmao 81 ovr this dude got benched for Blaine gabbert but ok

Yeah but he's been training and staying in shape trying to get back into the league all those years.

As an 81... he ain’t even better than Jameis Winston anymore and he’s a 76. Come on now...

naw u can’t sign him cuz he didn’t show up to ur tryouts
— Connor McDonald (@BigMac2069) September 8, 2020
I think the issue is that they made him an 81 overall, which for reference is 4 points higher than Kyler Murray who won ROY last year. Are we really going to say that Kaepernick is better than Murray? Like...really lol

how did he go from a 74 overall on Madden 17 to a 81 overall in Madden 21? 🧐

81 overall is a bit generous, but whatever. Nice gesture 👍

(2) This is what I’m referring to. Has Kap signed with a team? This doesn’t seem like genuine support for Kap – rather an exception to capitalize on a PR ploy disguised as social justice. Remember, @EASPORTS removed Kap’s name from a song lyric once ... pic.twitter.com/rzYioohLV2

Facts. He’s a 70-72 for me

Madden 21's logic should allow this guy back into the game. pic.twitter.com/ZXRDtqiLdL

soooo, yall saying hes the 15th best QB in the nfl? same rating as big ben and better than tannehill, baker, cam, and derek carr? Even though he bombed his workout and nobody wanted him???????? its fine if he's in the league but damn thats a stretch

I didn't even see dez Bryant or antonio brown

Something makes me suspect that this is not an absolutely genuine move. pic.twitter.com/DRy4OYkpYZ

Yea they reachin a little bit with the 81. I get what they tryin to do, but thats too much ass kissin for me.

I’m in full support of @Kaepernick7 both on and off the field but if this doesn’t come off as virtue signaling by a major corporation I don’t know what does. Complete with his very own signing screen and player card like you caught a Pokémon.

In short order...
- This doesn't fix your current product in any way.
— Public Lenemy #1🦁 (@NJDevastator) September 8, 2020
- Kap shouldn't have been out of the game to begin with.
- Madden NFL 12's Franchise Mode shouldn't have been torn down, it should've been built upon.
- I have no confidence the next gen will be any better. pic.twitter.com/ApHAvm6q0T
He was a 72 in the last game he was in
— billy (@billy42062981) September 8, 2020
not defending him being higher than cam but he went 1-10 his last season cause the entire team was garbo. QB can only do so much

But now you can do it on any team
