CorkScrewHill Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 When you a superstar a team will "deal" with this and wait for you to come back. When you are a player at the bottom of the roster like Andre Smith .. you end up cut. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Andre Smith? Who? The 25-year-old Smith is heading into his third season with the Bills. last year he didn’t play any snaps on defense, but he did play 68 percent of the Bills’ special teams snaps. See Ya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I thought he had a shot to make it as the last LB on the roster for his familiarity with the team and Special Teams ability, but that he was going to have to beat out Marquel Lee and Baylon Spector for the job and the team would have to be keeping 6 this season instead of the 5 they kept last season for it to happen. Now there's 0 chance he makes the 53. Though I do think there's a chance for him to be on the Practice Squad again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If testing was fair and status didn't matter. You look at a guy like JJ Watt and tell me half of his blood content isn't steroids. No way. But lo and behold ... never tests positive. It's the NFL way. Same reason why Deshaun Watson got a mega deal even though he's a sexual predator. If some fringe backup QB had those accusations, the NFL would "take a stand." They just need to stop pretending. They don't give a crap what the high profile/elite players do. 1 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can treat it like they treat marijuana. Ban it, but don't test for it. But if they're gonna test, they should be testing everyone the same way. Clearly they're not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there’s this kind of money at stake there are always going to be people who cheat to get more of it. It’s economics. Usually the best you can do is hold some of them accountable.

My guess is that most players are using SOMETHING illegal. The NFL has been fueled my manmade monsters for decades. Let them shrivel their nuts. Who cares? I imagine some of the reason they crack down of PEDS is they are known to cause health problems when used excessively and with the safety concerns over effects from concussions it really does add to quality of life and when the nfl is paying settlements to vets over health issues they shouldn't be liable for health problems the players themselves cause to their bodies. It's not like a health issues cause can be definitively traced to a specific injury. Jr Seau cause of his suicide is generally attributed to cte and yet he may have dabbled in some peds that also could have been the root cause of his depression that led to his suicide. No evidence he used any PEDs so its likely the cte but it's not impossible that Jr did use some peds at some point in his football career, maybe unknowingly if he went to a college with any shady strength conditioning staffs.

The NFL did nothing about CTE for 40 years, now they're committed to wiping out antihistamines not on the approved list. Makes total sense.

I’m with you, except I think Bernard is yet another wasted 3rd round pick, and they’ll be drafting a LB higher next year to replace the guy they could have drafted hadn’t been fixated on a “need” position in the rounds before. If they re-sign Edmunds to a top 5 level deal, I’ll officially give up on McBeane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several comedians have done this notion justice. Obviously, show me the TRUE limits of human athleticism and violence (or violent athleticism) on the football field. Like doomed gladiators. But that's of course just effing unethical, inhumane, and evil. The number of players who pursue the sport as a way out, and up, who sacrifice so much even WITHOUT the added necessity to use PEDs. It's obviously an option to almost any player who wants it. But to make it essentially a requirement is just monstrous.
