that one of your close friends supports Hitler? I just found out today. She said she doesn't agree with the killing but she likes how he came from nothing and became something. I told her the reason he become something is because he became a racist bigot that brain washed his whole country in order to kill all jews and anyone else who didn't fit his ideal image of a human being. Then broke off the friendship. How would you handle a situation like this?

My 9th grade German teacher thought Hitler had a lot of great ideas, he just went a little too far.

Seriously, Hitler had a lot of luck help him out, as well as a knack for knowing when to get really ruthless. He did manage to go from spectacular failure to being beloved by millions of people despite even more not liking him, but preferring him to the alternatives available.

Once he achieved all the power he could ever really want, he just kind of thought he could keep it going based on his luck, and that people would just see whatever he saw as reasonable and sane, and both things ran out on him.

I can certainly admire the mans fortune and ability to achieve what he did with totally disagreeing with everything he stood for. Ghengis Khan was not a person to be liked or admired in the strict sense of the word, but we remember who he was and what he accomplished to this day.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
