Sorry if already posted, comments after 1st suspension in May.

"I recently learned that I tested positive for a substance that is banned by the NFL. The NFL policy is strict, and I have chosen to take responsibility. I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches, and Panthers fans for the effect of my mistake on the team. I will continue to work extremely hard in all team workouts, training camp, and the pre-season with my team. During the suspension, I will stay in top football shape and be ready to contribute immediately upon my return."

The sad thing is people will find a way to blame Gettleman for this too.

Funny

If Gettleman heeded everyone's word and drafted Morgan Moses instead of Ealy in the second round everybody would be running up and down this forum complaining about how Gettleman's stupid for drafting a useless offensive tackle and how we really could've used a prospect like Ealy on the edges.

new flash, people like to smoke weed. who cares really. it's their life, their body. i don't care what people do to relax during their free time. as long as guys aren't showing up to work high then WGAF

 

Agreed, unless of course you work for a company with rules that ban said drug(s). Getting high isn't worth the potential millions you can make in the NFL....do it all day every day when you're retired and sitting on a pile of cash...as it stands now he's just another moron.

 

AFAIC it should be legal but even if that was the case it doesn't mean the NFL wouldn't have it on the banned list as there are numerous items that are banned which are legal federally.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By strato · Posted

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
