The thing with this kid is that he has so much natural talent, and he knows it. This probably leads to the character issues, the drugs, etc. When a guy knows he just "has it" he can become complacent and lazy.

The guy is going to be a play-maker. And as he matures in the NFL, he will only get better and more dynamic. The kid has a lot of growing up to do, but if he's given the right environment and guidance he's going to be a very good football player.

This is absolute bullshit that players are expected to give honest answers to questions that could hurt them, then the information gets "leaked" by interested teams to drop his draft stock so they can pick him up a round later potentially than where he was projected. The only thing these guys can do in the interview process is hurt themselves. Just like Dez Bryant.

I would lie my ass off in these situations. At least not give them anything salacious to "leak" to the media to hurt me later. It's irresponsible.

I wonder if you get suspensions like that for smoking cigs...

No, but you do for weed.

Good chance the kid has already cost himself millions, and for what? A temporary high? Oh yeah, that's solid judgment.

But now that the future has arrived, he needs to be smarter. Specifically, he needs to get it though his apparently thick skull that the millions already lost will have even more added on if he doesn't drop the habit for good.

So yeah, telling a kid in that spot "screw the system and do what you want" would be pretty dumbass advice.

And don't bother with the stupid "it ought to be legal" argument, because it doesn't matter whether it should or shouldn't be. It isn't, and it's not likely to be anytime soon. That's the framework he has to operate in. Arguing that he shouldn't be punished because it ought to be okay is pure stoner logic (in other words, not logic at all).

I wish we had anyone else as an owner so we could take a chance on this guy in the late rounds, because people are dumb enough to think weed negatively affects your performance so its likely he keeps falling.

Funny thing: They've found that players don't generally perform well in games they've been suspended from.

    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
