Yup. Anyone who says he isn't a clear upgrade over what we have needs to immediately call their doctor and report their symptoms. I'm dead inside and don't deserve good things, but god I would love for us to pick him up.

Wow I can't believe we are going to lose to the Packers in the Super Bowl because of this trade.

I honestly think there’s a fair chance the Ravens absolutely smoke us. And even if that happens, I’m still not sure if Beane would make a trade to fix things. I really hope the defense overachieves but I’m not exactly confident at the moment.

Beyond shameful.

Time to end it all I guess.

I'm okay with that. The rules don't apply to the billionaire owners, who are in general garbage humans, so I fully support any player doing whatever he can to get his. We're all supposed to want a free market, right?

Hey pretty sure there's a movie coming out soon along the lines of this!

I mean, I'm pretty damn anti-corporate and think the NFL is a deeply problematic institution as much as I love the game. That said, it is absolutely an honor and a privilege to be able to play a child's game for millions upon millions of dollars. If a player isn't willing to go through a rudimentary interview process for the handful of teams that are actually interested in him, then what does that say about the player? What does that say about him being a real team player? What does that say about his abillity to tough out the tiny, little, annoying fragments of the grinding and brutal life of actually being an NFL player in the long run? That you, especially already one the son of a mega millionaire celebrity, have some holier than thou attitude and say that you're the exception? Obviously a team's front office won't like that, but if I was another player, I wouldn't be too thrilled with the guy either, especially since he has plenty of question marks and isn't undeniably some pre-destined Hall of Famer. Everyday Americans put in more effort to find a 9-5 job in this current market than what it sounds like what this kid did for teams leading up to the draft. He deserves no sympathy, and although I doubt the accuracy of this story, I'm glad it turned out the way it did and he wasn't rewarded for his behavior.

This, combined with all the players sending him well wishes, does not bode well in my opinion.

So who is available for a 4th and 5th rounder, maybe even a third? It's not like we're gonna draft well next year anyways so might as well go for it now!

Nothing is ever easy is it.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it if he kicked it into an even higher gear playing for a team with a genuine chance at winning it all. Preferably us, of course.

If this is accurate, he needs botox injections ASAP, or some other comparable treatment. It’s stuff like this with this team that sometimes it just does not feel like everyone is willing to put it all on the line to win. Yeah, his position maybe kinda needs to be able to plant and break, ya think? This all sounds kind of ridiculous but like, based on the comments it sounds truly over the top. Might as well be wearing shoes without traction or whatever. Damn, something about this really annoys me lol I need to take a walk. Let me put on some fresh socks first….

Incredible thread. Growing up in Georgia, this was definitely a thing. I remember getting so much ***** being in elementary school during the Super Bowl years. And yeah, it seemed like everyone was a Cowboys fan.

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about this, in several ways. I mostly wonder what him being on the team would do to Josh, even on a subconscious level. Even if he isn't consciously thinking it in the moment, the psyche and the body will both remember the critical Gabe Davis drops.
