Blackmon and Gordon both have substantial, documented substance use disorders. They're not dummys. 

Blackmon is currently drinking himself to death in some shithole town in oklahoma. Like you're calling an alcoholic a dummy, either because your some irredeemable moralist or you've lived in a sheltered bubble your whole life and never been affected by it.

Stop trying to act like throwing away millions for a drink or a smoke is some normal sh¡t! And all the feigned moral outrage...gimme a break! We're just talking sh¡t over the Internet! 

Too bad those guys couldn't find it in their hearts to play by the rules, but it's difficult to feel sorry for them in light of their opportunities, resources available to them, and chances given, that most of us would never get in any situation!

So, all I did was called them dummies. You degraded them in your post but is the one here telling me to fug off like I’m an asshole. I think you’re the asshole here.

A dummy is someone like Justin Blackmon, Josh Gordon and Aldon Smith. All of whom already made millions and threw it away. Becton is a college kid who’s doing college poo. Do you have a son or daughter in college, or will have one in the future? You really don’t want to know what they’re doing in college. 

Smoking weed before a combine when you know you will be tested is the textbook definition of a dumbass

Marijuana will be legal one day. I don’t even care about it anymore. I’m sure that there is a very high percentage of sport players in their world who smoke weed. And a very high percentage of owners and front office employees to coaches who do coke, crack and drink and drive on a regular basis.

If you are a regular smoker it takes longer than a month to get it out of your system.

That being said, getting flagged at the combine is usually a death sentence if you go back and track what happened to guys that it happened to.  It shows a lack of awareness and self control that tends to extend into their NFL career.  In that light I think there is a HUGE gap between a guy that smokes a lot of weed...and a guy that gets popped for weed at the biggest job interview of his life.

Nope.. what about the honey badger... he was labeled an idiot all that never got on trouble again  and was a pro bowler. He fell to what second round.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
