Yessss.  Loved the fact that a local guy got his shot, and did great.   Loved rooting for him 

Maybe, maybe not

Wow! I am guessing he would not have done that if Brady was still there.

Yeah, no, it’s not likely Tom Tom even registered in his thought process for this decision. His important other, family yup, his co-workers not a chance.

I wonder if all the "good for him" people would be saying the same thing if Josh Allen pulled the plug today.

 

 

Only the non- selfish people, I would guess. I'm in that group. Players only owe themselves and family anything. Not fan-atics.

He hasn't won a SB yet so probably different motivations but how can anyone judge someone who makes such a big decision.  Who knows what went into Marpet's decision.

I'm not judging. Just asking an honest question. Remember how Indy fans acted after Luck retired? And he wasn't nearly as good as Allen is.

Makes you wonder if Arians is considering jumping ship now? 

 

He'll probably stick it out until the end of his contract/he gets fired.

Wait to all of the players go in withdrawal being out of avocado surprise.

 

I doubt they'll miss the injections...

Let’s face it: It can’t be much fun playing offensive line in the NFL. 

I played a little bit in HS and yes the postion seemed mundane and not glamorous but the feeling of holding out players from the QB and watching them get frustrated + blocking well for runs was very very satisfying IF and i mean big IF you are good at it. Very very fun.

Hes played football for about 20 years.  Got college tuition and wealth out of.  Like most of us he didnt live it up through highschool and college.  He grinded the whole time.  Good for him.  

I always rooted for him because he was from Hobart.  Technically, no scholarship because Hobart is D3.  The chances of a guy being successful from that situation are astonishing.  Good for him.
