"That's the point, it's a fight!"

What the fug is wrong with this country.

 

Short answer: "A lot."

 

In this specific instance; our celebrity/spectator/social media culture. In this instance, a gaggle of teens thought it was more important to film a fight, rather than protect the well-being of two people, and encourage them to work out their issues without violence. There were enough people there to restrain them from fighting, if they didn't all have phones in their hands.

 

And then, after the fact, the primary concern of the parties immediately involved was to make sure that the appropriate person got credit for sharing the video of someone being seriously injured by putting the disclaimer *Original* in the YouTube title. "Everyone has to know it was ME that put getting a viral video on the Internet above the health and safety of two people! I don't want any other jerks to steal the views of my video away from me! Mine is the ORIGINAL horrible act of violence video. Celebrate ME! Praise ME for uploading it!"

 

I have this horrible premonition that the last thing I'm going to see before I die is 10 onlookers filming me on their smartphones dying in the street. No one helping me. Just going, "Oh poo! Did you see that poo? Man, that dude totally got hit by that car, man! That's crazy, yo!"

 

Seriously. fug millennials.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      Bryce isn't a risk-taking gunslinger.  That's just QB DNA.  No one has ever said that is what we were drafting when we went that route.  That's my point.  That's not Bryce. Can you make Alex Smith throw deep? Sure.  He will occasionally.  In the reverse, can you ask Brett Favre to just take the easy layups? Sure.  He can in moments.  But in the end, they are what they are.  as I have said, Canales probably could win more games with PJ Walker.  And Bryce is a better overall QB than PJ.  PJ Walker would also have much worse games mixed in that Bryce would.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.
