I don't understand why everyone doesn't understand this concept. Also, I believe we all have the right to protest what we want, when we want...even while working for a company. But to think that's ok while at the same time thinking it's not OK for said company to fire you and another to not hire you for these actions makes no sense to me. Companies and business are made to look out for their money first and foremost, agree with the protests or not...but the cause has nothing to do with being hired or fired.

I could completely agree with a cause that someone I hire is protesting. But if they protest on the job and lose me business/money, I'd part ways.

A bunch of old white billionaires with a track record of making money and understanding targeted markets.

A bunch of players that frequently find multiple ways to flush the money earned from their contracts down the toilet.

Gosh, why listen to those billionaires about anything, right?

Exactly. And for a backup QB you don't want him being a distraction to your team and the league like Kaepernick would inevitably be at this point. If he was actually starter material a team would take a chance but everybody knows he isn't. He couldn't beat out Blaine Gabbert for god sake.

Try protesting at YOUR place of employment and see how well that goes. Owners sign the paychecks, if they don’t want you kneeling then you either kneel and possibly don’t play or you stop kneeling.

Snowflakes don’t understand this concept

When evaluating this discussion as a whole, it's almost astounding how different posters on this board bizarrely flip flop from being pro player to mimicking the same tired tone deaf owner speak they railed against.

Like on the kneeling discussion one group of fans will side with the owners and call the players pampered greedy babies who should just be happy with what they have and keep quiet. But when you switch to a discussion involving a certain former GM, or a guy asking for an extension, suddenly the side who defended the players kneeling in protest reverts straight to the same sort of rhetoric they previously opposed. Doesn't add up. I expect it from borderline neanderthals like thomas96 or tiger7_88, but the so called evolved huddlers here truly need to evolve or quit playing pretend when it suits them.

Those who remember the Jerry Richardson pie chart memes that were really popular here during the lockout know what I'm talking about.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
