WOW!!

Recommended Posts

He did a horrible thing and there is no forgetting that.. He has shown remorse and paid for his crime. If Greg had done the same it might be a different story for him..

Is stuff done in youth suppose to effect the rest of your life?? Is that fair?? Alot of us would be fuged if true..

Let's be real if the kid wasn't greatly talented nobody would give a fug.. But he is so why not take advantage of the value of getting a 1st round talent in the 4th??

Yeah, he should be. I hope the guy has truly learned from that situation, has become a better man from it, and goes on to do great things in the community.

Someone will give him a chance, but it sure as hell won't be us and I don't have a problem with that.

So are we now and forever forbidden in taking anybody with a troubled past??

That seems like cutting down the talent pool we can have.. Which only hurts us.

He's a first round talent easily.  But, the way they run this team, no chance.

Anyone with a troubled past? No. We drafted Worley last year when he'd been arrested for assault and battery.

But, there's a big difference between "troubled past" and knocking out a woman on video. Ray Rice was an elite NFL RB and got essentially blackballed from the league for doing that.

There are plenty of talented players who also have high character so that we can pass on this one without feeling like we missed anything. It isn't as if he is so skilled or unique that we have to take any chances he turns into the same kind of problem Hardy did. There are plenty of great options throughout the draft.

I don't think he should be off our board. Look what he did was wrong but the dude is only 20, our brains aren't fully developed, especially our prefrontal cortex which governs a lot of our decision making, until we're 25. I don't think that serves as an excuse for what he did by any means but I don't think he shouldn't be given a chance because of that incident. If he shows good character in his combine, pro day, interviews and what else I think we should at least keep him on our boards but that won't happen.

He was a young kid he made a mistake and owned up to it..

He has already been punished and will be punished more by not getting drafted where his talent says he should be...

Just being honest... why not take advantage of this situation..

And lets be honest..

If Ray Rice wasn't already in decline before the incident he would be on a team now. 

Let Elliot do the same thing and see what happens..

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
