Well having been raised to fear the wrath of my fathers belt myself I realize it was not that long ago pain for punishment was socially acceptable. Hell Im only 33 now and I remember even some teachers had paddles in classrooms.

Dyk Corporal punishmen still has yet to be made illegal in several states.

I have children of my own now and I must admit I have to fight my first instinct which is to whip their asses when they do something totally agregiius. I have given in to this urge one time spanking my boy with my hand for totally disrespecting his mother. I realize this is largely a learned behavior from my own childhood. Imo It's not easy for individuals and society as a whole to learn new behaviors within a single generation. Dealing with this requires a whole new set of parenting skills that may not be inherent to everybody.

I do not know much about AP case so I will certainly reserve judgement but perhaps in APs case some (and many others) some good counseling and parenting classes can go a long way in reforming behaviors.

Wouldnt it be more productive for the media, nfl and society as a whole to focus on promoting proactive solutions instead of simply which hunting. The NFL being the multibillion dollar megacorp could throw a tiny bit of PR money into outreach programs and promote public services for getting ordinary people and their players connected to resources to help with their issues before they escalate. Not once all of last week has the media provided any tips/resourses on how to defuse an ordinary argument before it escalates into cops being called or resources for modern effective ways to discipline your children. We do not all live in glass houses. The nfl has attention of the nation atm and I feel it has a genuine opportunity to do something redeeming besides suspending a few players to save face.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
