NFL players want to play, but need more safety measures from nfl

Brees is right. There is no doubt in my mind the NFL cares first and foremost about money. It would not surprise me in the slightest if they bypassed a lot of medical advice/precautions in the pursuit of profits. 
 

I don’t think they play at all, but if they do, if I was a player I’d want to be very involved in the precautions and would be extremely leery  of anything the NFL does or doesn’t do.

I do not think there will be football this year. 

Thinking of someone like Greg Olsen...not sure what his family plans are since he is now a Seahawk...but his son with the heart issues...seems like would be at serious risk if he got the Covid virus.  I am sure there are many more players with vulnerable family members at home.

Until this thing gets under better control...and there is a vaccine I don't know how anything moves forward.

The NFL is ALWAYS behind. If the NBA can respect and put safety precautions in place to protect its players in the bubble, why can't the NFL do the same?

It's a lot harder for the NFL due to the number of people involved and the venue of play (there's a lot fewer NFL caliber football fields than there are basketball gyms). Also, our testing capacity is becoming strained again and you're talking about requiring a TON of tests to screen every player every other day. That's over 100k tests just for the players for the regular season. That's not including training camp, playoffs, coaches, and other personnel who will be around the players and needed to be tested.

They did. The NFL leadership all went in a soundproof bubble. It's so all the owners and Roger Goodell can hear the echos of their own opinions to self-reinforce.

I have the answer. NFL ISLAND.

These privileged NFL players need to stop whining.  The NFL has already said players who don’t feel comfortable playing can stay home with no penalty.  If they don’t want to take a risk, stay home.  Stop whining about your situation while high risk, elderly folks making minimum wage go to work every day and interact with the public just to feed their family.

    • He’s overthrown WRs numerous times deep,I don’t think his arm strength there is a problem, def seems to be and issue in the 20-30 yard range, I don’t see a lot of outbreaking routes being completed, whether that’s due to his lack of ability to drive the ball to the outside hash or our WRs, especially XL cornering at the top of there routes. regardless of his weaknesses, the question is can a team be built around him to mask them, or can he overcome those weaknesses and adapt. I know it’s beating a dead horse, but something big is missing from Bryce’s qb play that’s leading to so many sub 200 yard passing games, all signs lead to a physical trait that’s the cause of this, wether it’s arm strength or his height  
    • That was fully intentional, because something people who engage in hyperbole can't stand is to be systematically told why and how they don't have a clue. It's the prevalence of this farcical idea that everyone's opinions are valid and the more impassioned they are about them, the more valid they are. And the point of the post wasn't merely to cut the knees of the exaggerators, but to illustrate why it shouldn't seem miraculous that someone like Mayfield and Darnold could come through Charlotte and fail and then suddenly seem much more successful elsewhere, when the reality is that there's far more to being successful at that position than one's own talent. It's also why young quarterbacks like Caleb Williams and Cam Ward deserve much longer leashes to determine their long-term viability and not be written off immediately, because the circumstances surrounding them are hardly conducive to success.
    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he was so easy to suss out. It is kind of in your face obvious.  They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.
