  1. I admit I'm trying to play a bit of devil's advocate here, but quite honestly, people are looking at his potential earning power as a reason for him not to do the same things as a normal 20 year old. I fully recognize that this is a completely rational and logical stance to hold. It's essentially telling a young man who is wildly popular that he cannot use his social status for the activities he apparently enjoys - the same activities that most young men his age enjoy - because it might hurt his professional career. It's excellent career advice, but I think we're seeing people react to the question of whether or not it's fair, or a reasonable demand to put on someone his age. For now, I'm not convinced his behavior is indicative of a systemic problem. Put another way, I imagine his on-field performance will be the only thing determining the trajectory of his professional career. I've been wrong before, though. Call me crazy but I'm surprised there haven't been more issues with the constant microscope on him and the availability of unfiltered media like twitter. There does exist a tradeoff between enjoying one's life and behaving in a manner that will yield maximum earnings, despite life circumstance. (Respectfully, I would also hesitate to make assumptions about the circumstances of posters during their time in college. Some surprising experiences have been had by many on tbd.) I'm not entirely sure if I have an end point. I guess I'm just desperate for Bills news and this is one of the only threads going EDIT: although, sadly, this is not even Bills news.
  2. For me, it seems to boil down to: -Some people are trying to point out that his behavior might hurt his draft stock, and he should consider the consequences of his current actions against his professional future. Fair enough. -I certainly don't care, and don't think it will hurt his draft stock (provided his play doesn't regress on the field). I also understand (what I imagine) his point of view to be - there aren't many chances to be young and this famous. I was partying my ass off at his age, and loved every minute of it. I can only imagine if I was that level of celebrity. Live life and don't harm others. Right now may very well be the best time of his life.
  3. Bodes well for EJ. Let's hope he delivers.
  4. Well, we have better depth than we did yesterday. I would still like to see another guard brought in, but this signing makes me feel a bit better about our OLine situation.
  5. I know it's just OTAs, but holy smokes does Kolb hang on to the ball for an eternity. If he is named the starter, I hope he exceeds my expectations. Count me on the EJ train though. Hopefully the snap count is, as others put it, a means to identify who EJ's primary competition will be - Kolb or Jackson.

  8. Whoops should have looked one above me! I agree.
  9. I said from day 1 I thought he'd be a star. I'm glad OTAs are going well, hopefully this trend continues when it really matters.

  11. Yeah he looked heavy to me as well. Didn't flash much power in the limited sample we saw (what was it, one play?), but that could just be due to the setting. Either way, it caught my eye. It's possible I'm mistaken.

  13. I honestly think Robey will make the 53-man roster.

  15. Yep. My alma mater had this under the soccer field. Worked remarkably well.

  19. And you're telling me that you're looking at Sanders and Young?
