With what we are seeing here tonight, and plenty of other recent examples (Tua, AB) at some point everybody might need just to walk away.  These players are too big, too strong, and too fast.  With the type of hits that are happening now, this will only exponentially increase.

I don't enjoy watching people die.

The only way for the NFL to survive is to make it a more finesse sport. The bigger, stronger, faster mentality has pushed biology to its limits. If you don’t play QB or Kicker you are going to get brain damage playing the game, not to mention the linemen destroying their knees and stressing their hearts and organs with abnormal weight gain.

In all honesty, the NFL is probbaly prioritizing the teams and players over the fans right now. They dont need to announce to us that the game is suspended, we are just bystanders. They are most likely working through the process with the teams and league officials.

Literally all they had to do was say the game is postponed and all thoughts are with Damar Hamlin and family. Period.

This. We're treating human bodies like Formula 1 cars now. The way the game is played now is not sustainable.

What did his tweet say? I’m thinking it might have been deleted.

Not going to check it again but basically a "how could the NFL possibly postpone a game with such important ramifications, even if this is an awful situation". I may be paraphrasing it worse than it was but it was pretty shitty

Oh man... you think its that simple? There is way more to it than that. Im not going to go deep into this one, bc id rather focus on the situation. However, Id highly recommend to you to think through the entirety of the situation with a little bit more understanding of the logisitcs that goes into this stuff. There are hundreds of people invovled in the communication and action that goes into this.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
