What is it with these talented wide receivers and substance abuse?

This kid has some serious issues according to his agent. You know, I sometimes think about whether we passed on these guys because someone actually knew they were ticking time bombs.

Always sad to see talented players wasting their opportunities, though if he is dealing with depression then it makes sense that he might struggle to overcome any issues he may have.

He's a loss to their team if he's out a year, but with Brown, Wheaton, Coates, Heyward-Bey at receiver; their new TE Ladarius Green; and their backs Bell and Williams; they have more than enough talent to be prolific even if Bryant is out.

Yeah their offense is still stacked without him. Though I think with him as well and assuming no one got injured next season they'd be very hard to stop in 3+ receiver sets with Ladarius Green coming in too.

Don't be sleepin on the Steelers they made it to the divisional round with no LeVeon no Deangelo,  a beat on Ben Rothlisburger, no Antonio Brown for the divisional game against Denver, and a not very good defense, and they only lost by 1 score... I think if they somehow manage to make their defense at least average or even a little above average they are AFC Championship Game contenders for 2016 season.

Getting high is awesome though and when you are a pro athlete imagine calling up for pounds of the best bud on earth I'd smoke all day if I was a pro athlete, and not get caught 

I'm pretty sure plenty of other guys thought the same thing.

(specifically, guys who blew their shot at being set for life because they couldn't lay off the drugs)

Damn, Tavis. I would say he should be able to leave the weed alone, but if he's going through depression and other mental issues, it might be hard for him. Won't call him names or anything, because I do have compassion for folks when they mess up. Hope he gets the help he needs

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
