Tre Mason is insane

Tracked down by WPBF Florida on Saturday, troubled RB Tre Mason shouted "No!" when asked by reporters if he would show up to Rams camp.

While Rams camp is taking place in Los Angeles, Mason is spending his time in West Palm Beach. Rams coaches haven't had contact with Mason for seven-plus months. On July 27, Mason's mother called police because Tre was "acting unusual and making irrational statements." When they arrived, Mason told deputies "he would call the White House and have them fired, and that he knew police were responsible for teaching Al Quaida pilots how to fly." Police immediately took Mason to a hospital for mental evaluation.

He was the definition of sane and stable at Auburn (even when he was a back-up player).

He's eithering suffering from a late on-set mental disease, suffered from a particularly bad concussion that did serious damage to his brain, or he's chosen to partake of the wrong chemical compounds.

I've been following this and it just makes me sad. :(

My wife's nephew developed schizophrenia at 18. At first they thought he had gotten hold of a bad drug, blaming his friends, and were surprised when he was diagnosed. Turns out he had a little bit of history on his father's side. It sucks for sure.

An ex-player that comes to mind is Titus Young. His name pops up from time to time here derogatorily, but he has been diagnosed with mental problems as well (though not schizophrenia). I cringe when people make light of those with mental disorders because the problem of mental disorder is more prevalent than some would like to admit.

As for football, there is some thought that concussions can cause or trigger occurrences of mental illness.

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
