May have additionally had pupil issues etc... I’d assume that if close to on the fence many end up “failing” to get a blood draw out of it.

Oh, In that case let’s toss anyone back there

To be fair, I’d think your friend made a dumb choice too. Doesn’t make him a terrible person and I haven’t shredded his character.... but not having an open beer can on you while driving is a pretty low threshold of decision making prowess. short of “the cops made the whole thing up” we are just debating how big the lapse in judgement was, not whether one was made.

unless arguing the police planted it - the dude was driving with an open beer between his legs. we can judge a tiny bit.

The ATV tipped you off didn’t it?

Your name checks out

while I agree that there’s no reason to rush to crucify him... it seems you are going as far (if not much further) the other way for some reason. dude messed up. We will see how badly. Hopefully he learns from it.

he had an open beer between his legs. I didn’t saying was unforgivable. I said it was immature and showed bad judgement in the situation. Hopefully he learns the lesson, even if a harder way than most do, and buttons up his behavior a little more.

he was driving with a beer between his legs. I think it’s fair to raise a few red flags on maturity/judgement

yup. Our backfield won’t be considered fast but will hopefully excel in turning 2-3 yards into 7-10 more often than most

doesn’t add up because you likely wrote the equation wrong. while there are almost certainly a few racist owners in sports that consciously think a black guy can run fast but not be a thought leader.... more commonly would likely be the guy that handed the same resume is more prone to subconsciously rate the one he relates to a bit higher, and identifying racially is a way that can happen. neither of those types of situations see an owner passing on a guy they think will win more, and one isn’t even particularly nefarious.... but could be a legit road block.

If he’s “the guy” then they get a few years cheap which makes you an immediate contender and then another 10-15 for a window after. i don’t think loves the guy but... if he is, hitting on that gets them closer than a WR would

if you trace the players/coaches involved or that made comments about it being normal - nearly every team in the league had some tie to a “big hit pool” type of system. a bounty to pay for a dirty hit with intent to injure is a far stretch from all the defenders throwing in “fines” for mistakes and getting payouts for the biggest hits of the week though.

why would he start now?

I’d imagine some of the expected point per yard gained metrics imperfect but not totally unreliable

Id make a comment that you should’ve known you were concussed. But you were dealing with a concussion.

I’d imagine some renegotiation to keep as high as possible next year with the dips spread across the existing CBA years would be the way to approach it. players get a higher percentage in 2021 due to it but a lower share in future years.

so give the teams far more control after the players already have less ability to showcase themselves? got to give the actual players some extra ability to get to better situations for themselves - if expanding the PS make it easier not harder to move teams

i suspect he makes the roster. If in the taysom roll he can be a special teamer instead of carrying a guy like that, and you develop him elsewhere in the process.

Adding a starter from another team should generally result in 2 guys top 32 and a 3rd At least close.

Jamies signed for $1.1m talk about surprises out there. NE must really not want a qb

that he baited the defense into thinking a FB was needed (Is likely a heavier package) and then dragged multiple pass defenders deep isn’t terrible play design but he shouldn’t have been targeted.

or maybe like the pats had dugger higher, the bills did too

he’s carried the ball about 1,000 times. As a qv you don’t do that without having some heart. sure he’s got an ego. Sure I don’t enjoy his personality. Sure I think despite being a generational specimen he’s not always 100% plugged in but you don’t do what he’s done without some heart.

he’s also not thrown the ball that well in live action. The Vikings bomb was terribly under thrown for instance. but I guess they see him in practice day in and day out so you have to trust a little bit. I thought they were playing a game heaping the praise on but this contract says otherwise.
