Say what you want about his quarterbacking skills, but it seems as though no one seems to think it's OK for a someone to pay out $3.1 million dollars for 30 seconds and have their views on subjects such as this represented by a famous collegiate QB. Especially during the Superbowl.

"I don't feel like I'm very preachy about it, but I do stand up for what I believe. Unfortunately in today's society, not many athletes seem to do that. I always stand for something."

Wow does anyone else think that comes across as extremely arrogant and superior?

I don't know about all that.

Immature stance? Perhaps. From what I understand, the ad is his mom talking about how she was advised by dr's to abort. She didn't and here is Timmy.

She made a CHOICE and the outcome worked out pretty well.

The pro choice crowd doesn't like it but the ad is NOT slamming the abortion crowd, simply, again, from what I have gathered, a positive message of a womans choice in that scenario.

So are you trying to tell us that this is a pro choice ad? HAHAHA

Here's the deal, she HAD the choice. She has the choice. She will have the choice.

The ad is about trying to convince at risk pregnant women that hey, maybe they could live through a pregnancy that their doctor does not recommend they try to do! Just forget what your doctor tells you and go for it!

Their bodies, their choice.

If they want to go through a risky pregnancy, then they need to know that it's okay for them to do so.

Harrah's commercials and NC Lottery commercials encourage me in the same way to blow all of my money in casinos and on scratch off cards. Should they be taken off the air?

Tell me, why do you hate liberty so much?

Yep, this should clear this thread into the tinderbox in 5,4,3,2...

Say the same thing here I said elsewhere...

How many people on here could even tell you what any Panther player's political views are?

Character issues matter. Political beliefs don't. I'm not going to pick what team I cheer for based on who has the most conservatives. Nor do I think any other fan - conservative or liberal - would choose on such criteria.

So someone is spending 3.1 million dollars to remind people that they don't have to listen to their doctors. That's great.

You are the one jumping too conclusions. She is highlighting the outcome of a good choice.

So, in the middle of this so called choice facade, the doctor, NOT the woman, is the decider?

Are dr's infallable and never wrong? Of course not. Are there some bad examples of women who did not listen to their doc and the outcomes were bad? Yep. But those women had that choice.

So fake outrage is exclusive to what liberals do wrong? ha ha ha ha

The message of risking a life to save a life isn't a noble cause to you?

Remind me not to hang off of any cliffs near you.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
