Justin needs to stay away from the NFL. He is an addict and cannot handle the lifestyle. He would need a 24/7 babysitter like Josh Hamilton, and even then it would be dangerous to his sobriety. For his health and safety he should just retire and stay near his family. It's not worth it. He'll end up dead or in jail.

I don't know the man and you're probably right. But reality says he WILL give it another go and another team will take that chance. For a low pick (and that's optimistic IMO), that risk/reward is worth it IMO.

Risk/reward. The Browns reportedly balked at 2nd rounders before Gordon exploded last year. There will be a market for him IMO.

And people on here were ready to trade a second round pick for Blackmon based on the argument that 'he was worth the risk'.

Then he screwed up yet again, even though he was in the midst of being tested 10 times a month.

You don't go after people like this because they're either too addicted to put the drugs down or just too stupid for their own good.

You don't throw a million dollars at someone like that, much less put your team in the spot of depending on him.

You don't accomplish that by depending on people who have proven they're undependable.

It's possible to get a talented receiver without throwing money at an idiot.

 

who said we would be depending on him? i'd hope we wouldn't be depending on a 7th round pick. if we could get a top 5 draft pick for a 7th rounder, i think we'd be all for it.

 

 

it is also possible for people to rehabilitate themselves.

 

it's not like we're trying to throw the franchise away for this guy, we're CONSIDERING spending an EXTREMELY LOW pick on him. obviously our FO would RESEARCH the situation, and make an informed decision.

 

 

but to completely throw the idea out the window without considering it is idiotic.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
