The lesson to be learned is never try and save 3 people who are drowning by going in after them even if you are a good swimmer. Take the time to find a stick rope or something to throw them. He was a brave man but if he knew what to do the kids and he could both be safe. Basic water rescue teaches you when you do what he did often you become another casualty. You don't stand there and you don't just jump in either. Brave then ends up being foolhardy.

This is the truth! I used to be a lifeguard, one of the first things we were taught was that a drowning person will drown you!!

Exactly. A drowning panicked person will pull you down with them. Even if you approach them you throw them a shirt or rope so they don't jump you in their panic to get above the water. I posted that hoping folks would think about that. Truth is he is being revered for his bravery which he deserves but he did the exact opposite of what he should have done.

Like you I have had lifeguard training. I also teach scouts safe swim defense safety afloat and things like CPR first aid. I make sure all my boys know what to do to be safe and smart. Safe beats the hell out of sorry.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
