While I agree with everything he said, the problem continues to be that people are talking about Cam getting hit and focus on whether or not he had a concussion, and the focus should be on the pieces of poo that kept spearing him. 

So Sherman can (rightfully) bitch that the NFL didn't do enough to protect Cam, but can't sidestep the fact that had those players been suspended like they should have, the NFL players union would have fought tooth and nail to overturn it.

For the most part, this is applicable to all business.

You think the big banks of Charlotte care about their employees? Bottom line = All that matters. Yet look at the career pages of most of these companies with words like "family" and "culture" thrown around.

Once you see a company (find a loophole to) terminate a tenured employee diagnosed with cancer, essentially giving them a death sentence, this becomes painfully obvious.

Aren't the dirty players a big part of the problem as well?  I mean everybody is making money in the game so it comes down to how the players want to player the game.  

The game can still be competitive without a few cheap shots to the head because you can't beat the guy otherwise.    No one involved with the game has clean hands on this issue.  Not the owners who profit from a gladiator sport, not the players who's drive to be rich and famous playing a kids game and will risk seious injury or death to do so.  The fans want their thrills and most are too ignorant or uninterested in the squabbles between millionaires and billionaires.

Until the players decide what kind of game they want to play and police their own dirty players and the league decides to enforce meaningful punishment on obvious and repeat offends like they do in cases of drug and peds, they all are just wasting oxygen.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
