A former adviser says that back during the 2011 lockout, currently unemployed (but future Hall of Fame) QB Vince Young took out a loan of $300,000 plus...

...to throw a party (link)

The former financial adviser for ex-NFL quarterback Vince Young said under oath that he arranged a high-interest, seven-figure loan for Young during the 2011 lockout because the player wanted to throw himself a $300,000 birthday party even though he was running low on funds.

Ronnie Peoples, president and CEO of Peoples Financial Service Inc. in Raleigh, N.C., said during a videotaped deposition last month that he contacted New York-based Pro Player Funding LLC about the loan after being informed that Young had already paid for the party.

''I think we still would have been OK to go ahead and survive until the next season, but he had a birthday event coming up that he paid 300 and some thousand dollars for,'' Peoples testified. ''That's what prompted that call.''

A transcript of Peoples' deposition, taken Jan. 16 in Raleigh, was obtained by The Associated Press.

I constantly hear him referred to as "future hall of fame".

Is that a joke, or is it a reference that I am not catching?

I am being dead serious, I have always wanted to know the deal with it.

A few years ago, someone on the board (I forget who) posted a thread about how Vince Young would someday be in the Hall of Fame. If I remember correctly, it was based on Young himself proclaiming that he'd be a Hall of Famer.

A few of us were, shall we say, doubtful.

The folly of said proclamations is now rather obvious.

You know, I remember the thread actually, I just never clicked on it, I thought it was a troll.

Didn't he score like a 6 on the Wonderlic? I think a score of 10 is supposed to mean you're at least literate...

I'm thinking a nine. Pretty sure it was single digits.

Seriously, what kind of priorities do you have to have to take out a loan to pay for a party?

That'd be a pretty dumbass thing to do even while you were in good financial status. Doing it while you're having difficulty? Sheesh :blink:

Is there any doubt left that this guy's elevator does not stop on all floors?

No argument from me that he's definitely got his priorities screwed up (and that's an understatement).

But I just looked up his Wonderlic score and it was in fact a 6. His elevator not stopping on all floors? Lol, I think that thing has had an 'out of order' sign on it for quite some time now.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
