Was he smaller (at least in weight) when he served?  I take you at your word about your friend 100% but SpecFor guys usually tend to run toward “average” size and often smaller. A humongous guy in those communities is pretty rare.

He was thinner when he served. That was his weight when I met him. He had been out about 10 years when I met him. He was not in a good place and was a scary man.

I have two cousins who served in Special Forces. Both were in the Iraq War.

One of them found himself in a pretty bad place later on as well, but I don't necessarily think it had to do with his military experiences.

My friend started to drink pretty heavy and run around with a bad crowd of people. It ended up costing his marriage and his legs.

Those guys are actually taking it easy on them compared to what they actually go through in real navy seal training. Actual navy seals would call this summer camp.

Bro, this is nothing compared to SERE training. Like everyone would make it through. 100%.

That's the Seal training program, right?

Oh no! That's BUD/S. That ish is completely different. I'm confident in saying no one on that show would last a day at BUD/S. No one. Some of them might die. IF they let them do it. 

I seriously considered going Navy SEAL. I was 165 pounds as a 19 year old. Benched 365, Squat 485, ran a 4.59 40 yard, 4.12 shuttle, 37" vertical (only 5'8"), ran 1.5 miles in 9:15. Pretty athletic. 

We had an actual SEAL in my graduating class. I was nothing to him. Nothing. Easily the most mentally strong person I'd ever met.

Decided I'd just drive Navy destroyers and fire some TOMAHAWK missiles instead.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
