Aqib Talib is in the hospital after being shot


Recommended Posts

You can start fights and pull all the cheap shots and crap you want during the football season when the refs love you, but you can't do that in real life when you're going against someone with a gun.

 

He pretty much had it coming for him, was only a matter of time. Maybe he'll learn to humble himself a little and shut up for once.

All seriousness though glad he didn't die. As much as I hate him and his lousy attitude, I'd hate to hear of any news of players dying from stuff like this. Just hope he learns to not take life for granted and learn to grow up a little.

 

I also hear he got shot in the leg. Can someone confirm that?

Legal and conduct issues

Talib has had several conduct related issues since his NFL career started. At the NFL rookie symposium in July 2008, Talib was involved in a fistfight with fellow Buccaneers rookie Cory Boyd.[21] On August 20, 2009, Talib allegedly battered a taxi driver,[22] and he was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol and booked into the Pinellas County jail, charged with resisting arrest without violence and simple battery.[23] In March 2011, police in Garland, Texas issued a felony warrant for Talib for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after accusing him of firing a gun at his sister's boyfriend.[24] He was later released on $25,000 bond. Talib was indicted on the charge in May 2011.[25] On June 18, 2012, the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence and character concerns with the accuser.[26]

In the 2015 season, Aqib Talib faced a number of penalties by the NFL including a 1-game suspension for poking the eye of Dwayne Allen, tight end for the Indianapolis Colts, in week 9 of the NFL regular season. Later that year, during Super Bowl 50, Talib was called for two personal fouls. One was a facemask on Corey "Philly" Brown, where Talib tore Brown to the ground violently by the facemask. Another was a confrontation against Ted Ginn Jr., where Talib claimed Ginn was running his mouth after a play. Because of this, the NFL has fined Talib for $26,044.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
