The similarity to Chad is that imo, your hometown Brohios aren’t always the best people to be around because they can enable you and drag you down. Kareem’s father just got arrested for selling crack last week. It was the 35th (!) time he’s best arrested. Sometimes it’s best to be away from the family and entourage. There are a lot of stories about him going back to HS. It could be best if he’s not right back in the thick of it.

 

I’m glad he’s done some good things in Cleveland too and wasnt an A hole to you when you shook his hand. 

 

 

...Jesus, that's one helluva role model...these kids either stay in the game or end up dead in the streets......or even in the river sadly as to how James Hardy's life ended so young.....

Which young guy that has better skills than Hunt?

 

My guess is a mid rounder 4th rd pick target with Shady like ability is Devin Singletary from FAU.  Same school Dorsey was Ass’t AD at so OBD may pick him based on some addl insight.

Cleveland got better today.  The Bills did not.  If they had a chance at singing him for anything less than double what Cleveland is paying him, they made a mistake.  

 

 

A feature back who may be good for 10-12 games next year?  Bills are all set with that already...

 

 

Anyway, do the Browns now release Greg Joseph?

Seems to be a consistent misconception on here. Dorsey was never assistant AD at FAU. He was with FIU. As to your other point, I’d be fine with Motor in the 4th.

You really think Shady still has it or is anywhere near as good as Hunt RIGHT NOW? Run blocking aside, I didn't see that burst. Hope you're correct.

I was kidding.  If McCoy isn't getting the carries next year, he'll check out again.

 

But I'm with you.  He's done.  Bills need a young strong back who can get his own yards.

To paraphrase Ahhhnold:  "sleep is for babies"!

It's not a tumaahhhh. But totally concur that the Bills are most certainly not set at the RB position. Ok, we didn't sign Hunt. That's fine. But they cannot go into next season thinking a 30 plus year old Shady is going to find the fountain of youth. Needs to be addressed.

Don't need Hunt or Bell.  Plenty of RB talent in the draft.

I have zero interest in expending the kind of resources required to get Bell. I actually think he's a TAD overrated. Very good player, but not so sure he's not at least partially a byproduct of the system. Definitely can find a RB in Rd 3/4/ or even 5. Now picking the right one...

Look at this past year's rookie RBs: Barkely, Chubb, Lindsay and Michel just showed up and popped into the top 10 (Michel was 15).

 

Proof that RB big money is the second dumbest big money spent in the NFL.

I stand corrected.  Thx

No worries! Wasn’t trying to call you out specifically. I’m a frequent reader, and just something I’ve seen come up a few times in different threads. Lane Kiffin and Butch Davis have brought a little buzz to each program, but FAU and FIU may as well be the same on the broader college football landscape.

I don't know Kareem but my understanding is he has no relationship with his father, and dad was a big reason they left Elyria.

 

Kareem may have problems being a violent drunk but he is not an ahole.  South hasn't had a good team in several years, so when Hunt showed up I spent plenty of time observing him.  Quiet, but very open body language and quick to smile for the kids and anyone he talked with.  Intense competitor but also more laid back than anything.  Also stayed the entire game when he probably should have left at halftime. 

He's not some angry attitude guy, in fact just the opposite.

Whoever the tweeter is who claims Hunt had violence problems here at South HS, well I'll look into it but I've never heard anything of the sort here.  Most talk of him being, quiet, humble and respectful.

 

Obviously he's got some serious problems to resolve but the amount of blind judgement here is just astounding.

I think Shady is on his last leg, he has obviously lost a step and the elusiveness has taken a hit as well. Hunt would've been the perfect type of RB to pair with a big mobile QB like Allen. With a upgraded O-Line I could easily see Hunt rushing for 1,200 and 10 TD's even with a two game suspension.

Don’t get me wrong. I hope he rehabs. Violent and drunk is no way to go through life. I wish him luck, but I just feel he went to the one place that I don’t think will be able to keep him focused. No veteran leadership, home town trouble, negative influences abound. He also will be behind the 8 ball coming off a year not playing football and a suspension, and will need to compete for carries in a backfield that is already established . Just think he has an uphill battle. But it may have been his only option.

Sometimes I wish I weren't so hopelessly addicted to football and the Buffalo Bills, because the NFL is gross, and its conduct is often reprehensible. 

The league's actions indicate again and again that they're perfectly fine with domestic abuse and violence. Just don't smoke marijuana or peacefully protest against police violence, by golly!

And the fact that the game destroys the brains and bodies of those who play it

I just don't understand this. Domestic Violence is a serious offense. It's a misdemeanor, but it's a serious offense. There are also degrees of offense. For instance, Ray Rice mercilessly beat a woman. This does not rise to that level. Should someone be banished for life from their profession for this offense? I say no. I say a first time offender is suspended 6-8 games, but banishment is really excessive.

Meh, I could care less about this signing. I don't want players that have ***** character on this team period. Give me players who want to be here and are team first. 

 

This organisation is on the right path, a signing like this would not be sticking to the plan. Onwards and upwards. 

 

Go Bills!

I'm sure there are many reasons that Hunt is a scumbag.  But the bottom line is that he's a scumbag.  He's not a good person.  That's not blind judgment.  He's a dangerous, violent person who comes from a family of violent scumbags.  This dude is no good.  Woman beating cowardly scumbag.

It is blind judgement on your part, and I find it pathetic.  I'm not absolving him in  any way, simply trying to lend perspective beyond press reports.  I've seen him do good things, show people kindness and respect, including myself.  

Anyone who watches the entire video with any kind of rationality realizes Hunt had ample opportunity to seriously harm her and did not.  What he did was borne out of frustration and disrespect.  Absolutely wrong, but not in the realm of your social-media-style panic wh*re condemnations.

I get you and respect your opinions, all great points that may derail Hunt.  But it's hard to say for sure.

I don't know Chad Kelly, but my impression is that he's a self-centered, entitled punk and that is completely opposite to how Kareem Hunt carries himself and behaves while he is around Willoughby.

I feel your equating Hunt to Kelly is completely unfair, and at the crux of my responses to you.

Now that I had a chance to sleep on it, you're right.

 

I need to not only apologize to Kareem Hunt for my blind judgment ... I need to THANK HIM for showing restraint and not taking the "ample opportunity to seriously harm her."

 

He's a true humanitarian.

I wasn’t equating their backgrounds or personalities. I was comparing them as two examples of how I don’t think it’s the best idea to be playing in their hometowns - for various reasons.

Just listen to Mary Kay on NFL radio, (Browns beat reporter), she said that Hunt's father was arrested recently on drug trafficking charges.  Not sure how relevant it is, but questioning the support system he has in Cleveland with his family.

He’s been arrested 35 times. He was caught selling crack at a days inn. It’s sad, but I don’t think he’s around him anymore. That said his dad has no source of income per the recent arrest report so not sure if he tries to get money from his son.
