When you fail a drug test at the Combine, you failed an IQ test. Look, I'll be the first one to stand up and say it's bullshit that NFL players get suspended for testing positive for marijuana but it is what it is. They know the rules. If they don't like it, then make it known to the NFLPA to make it a priority to address that in the next CBA. It's one of those things that should be fairly easy to workout since it benefits both sides. I'm sure the owners will want some concession at the bargaining table but it shouldn't be much of one as I'm sure they'd like to not lose players' availability over stupid poo

Except that Welker was suspended due to Adderall and not MDMA and Adderall is still on the banned substance list (so is MDMA for that matter).

They basically would have had to take MDMA the night before or the day of the game. It doesn’t stay any the system past 1-3 days and 1 if you are active.

Hell, that's the case for most recreational drugs. Recreational drug tests are basically marijuana tests unless you're really unlucky or have a serious substance issue.

He is the perfect Cowboy's player. It's a stupid rule but avoidable for 10 years if you want to have fun making a lot of money. I really hope the NFLPA makes this a priority to get rid of, its past time for it to go the way of the dinosaurs.

NFL rules being what they are, a lot of suspensions for drug use are essentially suspensions for being a numbskull.

I watched an Arian Foster podcast regarding weed and turns out the players all know when they’re going to be tested.  It’s a three month period for training camp and OTAs where they give you one random test I believe, and if you’re clean you’re good for the rest of the season.  Players who fail are just idiots

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
