    Wait….so you can get sued now for pressuring a woman into giving you oral sex? No physical assault or rape…just trying too hard to convince a woman (who eventually obliged) can cost you millions??? Definitely not defending Watson but the idea it’s some sort of civil liability attached to pressuring a woman to have oral sex who eventually does the job….is CRAZY to me!

    It's crazy to Harvey Weinstein too, but here we are.

     

    If Watson threatened to use his fame or celebrity to ruin this woman's business or reputation if she did not give him what he wanted, it's an assault.

  2. The Bills running backs had 11 total carries against the Steelers in a game that was over in the 3rd quarter.  Each RB averaged 7 ypc.

     

    Hell, Keenum threw the ball 5 times, while Cook carried it only 4 times.  And Cook has actually looked good the few times he carried the ball.

     

    The Bills spent almost 25 years looking for a franchise QB, and now that they have him, they're not building an offense that gives a running back 20+ carries a game.

     

    Daboll recognized this and Dorsey recognizes this.  The Bills are bad at running the ball?  Well that would mean something if they actually tried to run the ball.  At this point in Allen's career, the ball is staying in his hands.  RBs are nothing more supporting players in their offense.  Trade for CMC?  Sure he'll look awesome with his 8 carries a game.

    It's pretty clear.  The only way he could have gotten back on the field on Sunday is if the team doctors, with "consultation" from the independent neurologist, concluded that his gross motor instability was not neurologically caused.

     

    If the "consultation" from the neurologist is faulty, then that allows the team doctors, and by extension the coaches, to escape liability for putting him out there.

     

    The only way you reach further than this guy is if he says (a) he was pressured by the team to clear him, or (b) the team did not provide him with accurate information about what happened on the field.

     

    I happen to believe that (b) is probably true and (a) may be as well.  But that'll be for the investigators to find out.

    Not really, the independent neurologist is a consultant.  If he says Tua is out, he's out.  But is he says Tua is okay, there are the team medical and coaching staffs who can say Tua's not going in.

     

    Nothing stops the medical staff and coaching staff from sidelining Tua after the consultant clears him.

     

    There is still accountability here.  You heard this in John Harbaugh's response to the situation.  You get the feeling that an experienced NFL coach would trust his own eyes of the hit on Sunday, and make the decision to bench his QB, regardless of the subjective opinion of the consultant.

     

    Firing the consultant does not absolve the others who had decision making authority concerning Tua's return.

    I think it’s pretty well accepted that the Ravens are a very well run franchise. I like Lamar, I enjoy what he brings to the game and I know he’s going to get paid but he’s not getting a fully guaranteed contract.

     

    They are “sitting around” because they don’t believe Lamar has what it takes to get them to the SB and they aren’t going to lock themselves into a QB who they aren’t all in on for the next 5-7 years. Instead, they have 3 more years of Lamar if they want it using the franchise tag after this season.

     

    If they believed in Lamar, they would have locked him up at the same time we did Josh. But they didn’t, so they waited to see how Lamar did and he regressed. You can blame the injuries last year, but as good as Lamar is he has hit his ceiling and has not shown significant improvement from year to year. He’s limited as a passer and the Ravens know as soon as he slows down the rushing, he’s an above average QB at best.

     

     

    So this well-run franchise has built their entire franchise around a QB that they don't believe in?

     

    The Ravens don't have legit receivers or legit running backs.  They have a legit TE and Jackson, but that's it.  That's well-run?

     

    I remember thinking how the Bills were such a well run organization when they had Tyrod Taylor as their QB.

     

    The Ravens are making a bet here they are destined to lose.  If Jackson is a mediocre as many claim, there is nothing on that roster that saves their season.  The roster beyond Jackson was poor last season, and it's gotten worse this year.

     

    If Jackson proves to be better than everyone believes, the Ravens have Flacco-d themselves, again, because Jackson's price will be much more expensive than if they extended him last year.

     

    Well-run franchises don't take years to commit to players (and in the Ravens case, their roster-build has already committed to Jackson).  Well-run franchises don't wait around and let the market determine the value of their players.

     

    Well-run franchises determine their plan, commit to the plan, and stay ahead of the league in executing their plan.

    The Ravens are one of the best run organizations in sports. They know exactly what they are doing. They don’t believe in Lamar’s long term potential or they would have already locked him up.

     

    The worst case scenario for the Ravens (Franchise tag, or tag and trade) is a LOT better than the worst case scenario for Lamar (serious injury).

     

    Lamar is going to get paid millions no matter what. He’s not getting a fully guaranteed contract and he will not be getting as many millions as he wants.

     

     

    If they are one of the best run organizations, why are they sitting around waiting for the league to drive up the price of their supposedly mediocre QB?  They could have saved literally millions if they extended Jackson last season, like Beane did with Allen, before the idiot Browns introduced the league to fully guaranteed contracts.

     

    Meanwhile, as the price inflates for Jackson's extension, they're building an offense that only really works for his skillset.  So if they cut bait on Jackson, it's not like they could bring in another QB and be successful.

     

    They could save money with Huntley, but where would they spend those savings?  Guys like OBJ aren't going to play in that offense with Huntley. Huntley isn't leading that team to the playoffs.

     

    So it's down to sign Jackson or gamble on an total rebuild of the offense.  Longer it takes them to make the decision is going to cost them in dollars or wins.

    I believe the Ravens offered him Kyler Murray numbers - but he wants Watson's fully guaranteed contract.

    The Ravens are just kicking the can down the road and they're going to get burned for it.

     

    Jackson has accomplished more than Murray, so that contract is a non-starter.

     

    They could have signed Jackson last season, like Beane did with Allen, and avoided the escalating insanity in QB contacts, but they sat on the fence as Cleveland dropped Watson's stinkbomb contact on the league. (From now on, every QB is going to be looking for a fully guaranteed contract).

     

    The Ravens are in wait and see mode.  They aren't convinced they can win the SB with Jackson, but they think there is an outside chance they might.

     

    Jackson knows what he wants, agent or no (it's what all top tier QBs are going to want moving foward), the Ravens at this point, don't know what they want and teams who don't know what they want, don't win championships.

    Did they just throw a signing party and told everyone to come?

    Hopefully they were able to pick their own cake (or pie).
