tough spot. hes good but is he “the guy” long term? next year they can bail but what’s the play? Non-top-10 pick won’t be an upgrade. Maybe an end stage vet like Rodgers going home?

It is nice to see that tool in the box!

it’s a three sentence praise of our big ticket free agents. Let’s not freak out about lack of nuance for the many other positions involved in passing.

eye roll

when you come in with a reputation, and play to it, it inevitably takes more than 1 game to get credit for consistent accuracy. we will see how he evolves and how the comments do too.

I’m not sure the “no call no show” practice, tweet about new beginnings, delete all team related social media posts and wear another teams gear version of diggs is really going to better a bad situation. the trick will be to win a lot. And there’s no reason to think we won’t across his current contract

And I don’t think he’s the Deion sanders type when people said he was a diva. Word out of the Vikings locker room wasn’t that he was pushing others out of the spotlight. He’s gritty. And a hard worker. Definitely not soft. But he also got a lot of comments about being a little unusual and wasn’t shy about opinions. as long as we are winning, and he’s racking up stars (and cash) I don’t suspect we will have much trouble out of him.

As long as he is happy and heavily involved. which he should be here for the foreseeable future

this week we could’ve won with that 10 man offense and Gregg Williams trains his defense to injure quarterbacks I think is the concern. if it’s a big game against a tough opponent I think most are fine pulling out all the stops. But you don’t want him exposed on a throwaway play. He can Kyle Orton it against the jets. I mean, I’d hope in another game where we are overwhelming favorites we won’t expose him more. We need him healthy when we play the rams, raiders, titans and chiefs!

Yea, I wouldn’t be using up too many hits in a game like this. sure, put a few plays on tape to stress defenses but especially against Gregg Williams I’m not calling his number too many times in a game we should win handily without it

Let him work it out often they start shaky and play great for a second team. If you are going to take the learning curve you should wait to get the reward that goes with it.

yea the 1st quarter of the 1st game is usually indicative

there are a lot of comments I expected. this was not one of them.

Is this where we share our own social just messages?

barefoot and supplying food?

sounds like his goal was fun and not transportation if he was doing donuts in the intersection

I think 99% may be high unless you are talking about only the most blatant racism. Plenty of Americans are against racism but think it’s a thing of the past that’s totally over.

came out of your way to point out that your made up news story would get more coverage but that a household name accused of a crime shouldn’t get coverage in the first place

so this is a conversation under the umbrella of “defund the police” so.... 1) we agree, it’s less police funding. If the gear was scaled back, not eliminated, you could have the tools to police safely still. I think there’s a debate around whether more police would be killed or if police would have to use more conservative and less confrontational methods that may actually keep police safer in some situations too. We’ve seen the guys that make cowboy decisions just cause they can, not cause it’s best. 2) we are discussing defund the police, not defund the government or social systems. So, we agree. Shifting burdens out of the police department can be a great way to change structure and types of interactions. 3) no one implied they made the laws. Voting is a great way to change structures and require less policing. Obviously. really, your “but....” probably could’ve been skipped entirely

but to go a step further, we can’t say the organization is a lock step monolith. the person or incident that one chooses as the face of their own representation of it often speaks more about the person than the group.

having less militaristic gear would be cheaper having the police not handle near as broad a scope of issues and turning some of that over to other civic offices would be cheaper policing having police not worry about crimes like weed and prostitution would be cheaper

you are going to attract all the guys from the PPP board that hate politics around their sports.

Yup. really kicking off his career well.

I say “In the corner” a bit in jest - but to stay 6ft from everyone consistently, it’s not a terrible characterization honestly. You’ve seen an nfl sideline, especially during national broadcasts? They are crowded and constantly buzzing. To follow your rule he’d have to be off on the side. and plenty of locales, especially major urban centers, are still in phases with non essential personnel being asked to work from home. A player ineligible to play seems to fit that. I get we like mongo, but I don’t think you’d be posting this for the Broncos 9th WR on the practice squad that lands on IR and wanted to hang out on the sideline. I wouldn’t be screaming about it being wrong if the nfl allowed the guys either honestly. They have a tough calculation to make, and this seems like an easy spot to tighten the policy this year. Such is life this year, you roll with it. but from a distance and masked. maybe they could sneak him in as the mascot?

i get it and wasn’t trying to say you were out of line. Honestly mongo was the one super fired up. but if he’s stuck in the corner masked and always 6 ft away there’s no upside in having him and could only cause trouble in violating the rules. Going a step further id guess team executives and coaches were very ok if not uniformly on board with the rule and didn’t want to have more to police.
