Called book smart... I know many people that had almost perfect GPA in college yet lack common sense.

That may be true, but I'd sooner trust someone with the proper education helping me with my health than some witch doctor in an herb shop who's only taken feel-good hippie classes at the learning annex taught by someone with no degree and no business screwing around pretending to be an expert on anything other than the proper use of a gravity bong.

Yeah, as long as my doc has street smarts I know I'm good to go. :rolleyes:

Our man in Amsterdam has it correct.

The bottom line is, you need to take control of your own damn health and use doctors as a resource, not a wishing well in which you abandon your ownership of your own well being.

This includes prescription drugs, as well as following up with said doc on the efficacy of the Rx for your case so that changes can be made prn.

Not street smarts... Some doctors ignore early signs of serious illness. They do not take that extra step. While working in the pharmacy I've seen many of our patients die cause of doctors carelessness. I agree with everything you said but you also need to realize that some doctors, pharmacists,and other highly educated people are not all that smart.

They are also the folks that are tasked with being right 100% of the time, and as early as possibly, as you state.

How many people have the brain and the stones to pull that off?

Not many, and it aint easy.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
