Looks like we have some financially challenged tools on our team.

Barely into the second month of the lockout, there's already been some disturbing news on the financial front for players. Players from at least 16 teams have at least shown interest in taking out short-term loans with high interest rates and fees, according to a report from ThePostGame.com. The report cited a source that indicated the interest rates range from 18 to 24 percent, and could rise to as high as 36 percent on default. "I know at least 16 different teams that have had players go out and have to set these [high-risk loans] up," said a financial adviser in the report. "Guys on the Dolphins, Saints, 49ers, Panthers, Chargers, Bears, Vikings."

Taking out loans that charge 24% interest?? Are you kidding me?

Hey man, Bling, Hoes, and Rims are NOT cheap!:wink5:

Those %'s sound right in line with a lot of the credit card rates today. If I was in their position I would probably explore a line of credit as well. Not everyone that makes $$$ also has decent credit. But just for poos and giggles let's throw some idiotic stereotypes out there...

Oh wait this is ok, right

Ok. So I take it you graduated from an institution like Dartmouth MIT or Duke?

No...But I did pay four years tuition at one of the above. My point is: most young players are not used to having that kind of money, and very few of them are responsible with it. BTW.....some folks lose sight (basketball aside) that Duke University is known as "The Harvard of the South", and yes, has a pretty tough Biology department. I would say that it's a bit harder, then say "Parks and Recreation" from Coastal Carolina.

Do they know how to spell 'lose' at Dook? :) Just fugging with you.

Having gone to a school that is in the same athletic conference at MIT, I have a lot more respect for them than I do Harvard. Harvard is all about the rep.

      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
