    There are only 32 people in the entire world that owns a NFL franchise & i think he turned him down  for that reason .

    There are over 2100 billionaires on the planet at last count, most appear to have no interest in owning an American football team, judging by how few show interest when a team is up for sale. It seems to be an American thing by and large. I wonder if a name will ever get leaked, or as someone alluded to, it could be a unfounded rumor. 

    Thinking about the International Pathway Program.

    Being that American football is not a world sport, and mostly ignored by the rest of the world, the number of potential candidates for the program is likely not that big, as well  familiarity with how the game is played is rather low, see Christian Wade’s learning curve as an example. Also Wade is making far less money right now than he was playing rugby, so other elite athletes from around the world are going to take a large pay cut for a long period of time, and maybe never get that big contract. So the draw is not that big in all reality.

    I never once said Duke can't make it in the NFL. I said he's not a great fit with Josh. Duke needs a QB who can throw in a tight window because he struggles gaining separation. Josh needs a receiver who can get open because he struggles with ball placement. Pretty simple. 

     

    I disagree with your assertion that Josh will fail if he can't make ALL the anticipation throws that every other good QB makes. It's not that black and white. These guys all have their own strengths and weaknesses. We didn't draft Peyton. We drafted Cam. I'd much rather Josh pulled it down and ran rather than make an anticipation throw he isn't comfortable with, or just move on to his next read or check down. Play to his strengths. If we try and force him to be something he's not, then yes he will fail. 

            

    I watched the practice clip from today. Nowhere did I see Duke getting open. I saw him make tough, contested catches on well placed balls where the defender had his hands all over it. Duke is clearly good at that. 

    I’m guessing that this bit of practice purposely had the defender grabbing Duke throughout the route, to see How well he handles the pressure, and he makes the catch both times.  Getting open is fine, but catching the ball is more important every time.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    and that's why racism will never end. One man says it was a politically incorrect thing to say and he gets told to lighten up Francis? Do you know what race I am? Then don't assume I'm a white man crying. I'm just pointing out what's wrong with saying that. context or not.My panties are Definately not in a bunch over it, but it was wrong.  

     

     

    It was obviously a compliment.  

    Words chosen to make a description come from were a person comes from, we all have different back grounds from which we draw comparisons, which come with different descriptives, when theses different backgrounds are mingled descriptives can then be miss interpreted, so then get taken out of context, it  happens, there was no malice there. If one finds a descriptive abrasive, then it becomes a learning opportunity for the parties involved.  What race we are is not nearly as important as how we conduct our lives.

     

    I was wrong to assume you are a Caucasian I’ll give you that.

     

    nothin but love for ya,

    that was a very politically incorrect thing to say by Dawkins. Remember the Instagram crap that came out draft day?  Reverse racism is still racism. It has no place on any side. not trying to be political, but he should run laps for saying something so f×#!:*@ng stupid

    Lighten up Francis,  it ain’t no big thing, reverse racism, you gotta be kidding, white folk are like a one legged man in an azs kicking contest when the topic is racism.

    The Chargers are either playing hardball with Gordon, or his agent is asking for the world....it's probably the latter.  I guess he didn't see how well it worked out for Bell last season, where he lost a years salary that he will never recoup.

    When you’re a multi millionaire and set for life, a years salary isn’t such a big thing, that’s the difference between working stiffs and rich people.

    I sure wish I could blow off a years salary and not care, oh well, at least I have no debt, I got that going for me... chinch bugs...
