I'll just say I don't remember much about being 23. Not even sure where I was living then. 

 

Likewise.

Look, he was obviously being dumb and he got caught. It's nothing crazy. Just being dumb. If he keeps being dumb, it's a problem. He's a kid, he is allowed to have at least 1-2 relatively minor dumbs. 

Better than being dumb and killing someone(recent Las Vegas incidents).

Reminds me of a few years back. When the players were released from training camp (2011) One was pulled for speeding (and was puffing a "fat one" while doing so) in Rowan County 0n I-85. Allegedly, when asked by the officer what he did for a living the player replied "well I WAS a Carolina Panther".

Agree 100%… when I was 23 I was making bad decisions.  I still am, but I was then, too.  Victimless crimes don’t deserve to be judged the same.  Dude was driving around with some weed and a gun.  Who cares… I know people (average citizens) who drive with that every day

When is the last time an NFL player needed a gun to protect themselves? 

That's the bigger head scratcher for me. I've done a lot of dumb things, but managed to keep away from situations where I thought... "Dude, I sure wish I had a gun now." If you find yourself heading into those situations, might be a good time to change direction.

Let’s be fair to the world climate today but in general that’s a very fair statement.

I mean if you're in a land that just got invaded by Putin, you might have an argument. Here in the US.... there's not really a need for it.  Every other country in the northern hemisphere seems to be doing ok without them.

Stuff happens. I know a dude who was moving and loading up the van in broad daylight. This was back in December. He was approached by a guy who started chatting him up in a friendly manner. They talked a few minutes until the stranger pulls out a gun and started pistol whipping the guy I know. My friend was knocked down but was able to grab the pistol he had on him and shoot the perp. The perp got in his car and drove a few blocks before he died. People in general are targets, guys with money and fame more so.

I’m not a right wing huge 2nd amendment guy, but it’s not uncommon for people (at least where I live) to have guns on their hip and it’s within their rights to do so.  Don’t always need to be in a dangerous situation to have a gun with you.  This is more of a red tape/bureaucracy thing than anything (aside from the speeding) + weed is legal in so many places around the US.  It’s dumb that he was arrested for this

i'm used to seeing it as well.  why would you need to, though? why would you want to? there's very little need for anything like that unless you are putting yourself into those situations in which case you just need to stop being in those situations. and if you do feel for some reason that you might need one....at least do it the right way and get it registered and get your ccl. 

weed shouldn't have been an issue (the fact that it is is dumb on it's own), but it is an issue and because it is an issue....don't be dumb with it. don't get caught with it. if you've got it, don't do anything dumb to draw attention to yourself just in case. 

he's learning....i hope. tough lessons to learn, but it could have been worse.

Well said. I’m all for second chances.  I’m a fifty year old guy but I was in my 20s once.  I did a lot of stupid poo when I was young and never got caught.

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.
