    I don't understand why people feel the need to drink beer while watching sporting events...

    What about whiskey?

    I have no issue with that. Imagine how unruly it could get if beer in the stadium was reasonable.

    You still have to fight the lines. I think it's more of a problem that it's not, because people overdo it outside.

    Thats harsh man.  The only thing I’ll say is the coaching staff needs to be careful about reigning in Allen’s athletic ability too much. He will naturally become a better NFL QB over time, but don’t make him be a statue in the pocket.  If he gets hurt running so be it.  He’s smart, he can make good decisions. Let him be the athlete he is

    Not allowing a QB to be himself is exactly how the franchise ruined whatever potential Losman and Taylor had.

    But that was in college.  Can't separate as seen in camp.  Has a HS body so needs 1 or 2 years in NFL weight training room to be a capable WR  in NFL 

    That's fine. he has plenty of time. If careers were written by rookie training camp, we wouldn't have quite a few HOFers.

    Id rather pick first in the draft.  With that said, he is not in the league anymore because he just isnt that good.

     

    Why is it people want to act like he is a ProBowl caliber QB.  He had one ok season and the rest he was hot garbage.

    See, that's where your bias starts to show through. He was objectively not garbage. He had a 59.8 completion % with a 2.5-1 TD/Int ratio over his career on some really bad teams. And those teams did not improve during his benching. In fact SF has kinda been trash since, except for Jimmy G's run 2 years ago to close out the season.

    He may not have ended up an all-star or even a starter, but he'd at absolute worst be a top 3 backup in this league with an ability to come in and win games.

    Of course not. It is part of contract that players can be cut.  It is NOT part of contract that a player can hold out without penalty nor renegotiate contract unless GM agree.  If GM wants player to take a cut and refuses the team has the option of trading player (if not no-trade clause in contract) or cutting player making player free agent or subject to contract being assumed by another team.

     

    And I am all for owners making players pay fines repeatedly when they hold out.  

    Yet you act like it's some moral injustice that they don't show up to play.  RBs in particular provide extremely high value over extremely short windows. They have to take advantage before what happened to Gurley and countless other backs inevitably happens to them. If the league wants to fix it, which they don't, they'd do fully guaranteed contracts liek every other sport. It's funny watching the richest sports league act like the poorest.

    So who do you guys think cracks first. Gordon or Zeke? I don’t get leaving millions of dollars Just laying out to dry. That’s me though! You signed the contract honor what you signed.

    This is hilariously out of touch. Do you say the same thing to the owners who cut talent mid-way through contracts?
     

    I'm all for these guys getting their money, because the owners will give them the least amount they have to. Holding out is their only option.

  7. OJ's on the wall, because he's arguably the greatest Buffalo Bill of all time. To this day his guilt has never been proven, so how are you going to take him off now without new evidence? I mean, it's a really bad look, but what can you do and where do you draw the line? The requirements for being found "liable" in a civil case are extremely less rigorous than being found "guilty" in a criminal trial. If you were going to do it 25 years ago, you could make a case for it, but how and why now?

    "According to The Wall Street Journal, in a criminal trial, the jury must unanimously find the defendant guilty"beyond a reasonable doubt" in order to convict. However, the same burden of proof does not exist in civil cases, which merely require what's referred to as a "preponderance of evidence." According to Cornell University Law School, that "preponderance of evidence" means that at least "50 percent of the evidence points to something," rather than requiring a unanimous decision."

    If Ford turns out to be a bust then so be it..drafting NFL players is not an exact science, and it looks like they have got a few right already..

     

    Im not gunna hate on the pick at 38  though... a lot of good judges had him as a first round talent...

    I recall that the draftnicks suggested he'd be a better guard than a tackle in the pros, so maybe it's not that big of a deal?

    ESPN is a media partner of the NFL...

    And?

    I'm just trying to get to the bottom of what an internet blogger is, and why it discredits someone from being a real journalist in 2019. It's an extremely outdated term that suggests he's just some guy on reddit with a hot take. Newspapers have been dead for 10 years, and any serious journalist treats online content as their first source these days. If you want to say he doesn't have enough market reach, or he isn't affiliated with a big enough brand - yea ok, that makes sense. But the whole "blogger" thing just makes me think that there's just a bunch of old guys sitting around here waiting for this internet fad thing to end.
