Tragedy in Tampa

Have a good friend who's family had a toddler drown and I can tell you they will never be the same again.  The guilt and heartache never go away.   I hope he has faith that he can lean on when those tough times recur over the years.  I believe that is the only thing that has kept my friend and his family going all these years.   Prayers for Shaq and his family that this event does not tear them apart as a family and they can find a way to continue on.

I have no clue how a family can recover from something like this. Terrible news and I feel terrible for the family.

Not quite the same situation as this, but I have a good friend who years ago wanted to start a family...

His wife's first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

Her second one resulted in a stillbirth.

As you can imagine, they were devastated.

When I got word that she was pregnant for a third time, I probably spent the better part of the next nine months praying for them.

Was overjoyed to hear when their baby was born okay...

They now have four, all grown up, on their own, three of them married.

I couldn't possibly imagine what they went through.

Before clicking, I was hoping this thread was going to be something funny about a dumb draft pick or some boneheaded coaching staff quote instead of something actually tragic. Ugh. Hate to hear this. 

I wish 😕

Almost happened to me at home about 4 years ago. My 3 year old jumped in the pool behind me after a long day at the beach. I had jumped in because a canopy had blown into the pool and I was just trying to get it out. I didn’t notice she has fell/ jumped in until she bumped into my leg down at the bottom of the pool. I pulled her out and she was foaming and throwing up water, took her to the hospital where she was released after some observation. She was probably under water for around a minute. Happens in an instant and is terrifying beyond anything I have ever experienced. Still makes me sick to think about it. 
 

i have safety gates and everything, nobody goes out in the pool deck without supervision, but even with supervision, turning your attention for a few seconds is all it takes. 
 

Prayers for the family, they are going through hell now unlike anything anyone can imagine unless they have lost a child.

The sad thing is that you can watch them like a hawk and this can still happen. Not a time for lectures man. 

This is not a lecture. Barrett will never ever see this. It's more like advice to others. I have personally had to watch out for kids whose parents weren't paying attention, and at least in one instance I have been directly responsible for avoiding a death of a toddler. If you're watching your kids appropriately, then the chance of something happening to them on your watch is greatly decreased. I have seen it in action.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
