What does it take to bully a grown man? 

 

A pretty big man, mind you, and a professional athlete.  More than that, an offensive lineman who's made his living in the trenches, arguably the roughest place in professional sports.

 

What the hell happened in this story?

I've been wondering that since i heard it.

 

I mean I know some people are more fragile emotionally than others, and even the strongest people can be worn down by repeated teasing and mistreatment, even when it's small, but still...

 

See, I don't wanna go the route of calling Martin a pansy or something.  That said, I spent about ten years of my life in a football locker room, and that was only up through the high school level.  Even there, it was a pretty rough place.

 

If you're Martin, you're good enough and mentally tough enough to get to the NFL.  You've battled your way through every level to where you're one of the best in the world.  You're clearly not a pansy / wimp / whatever.  You've worked your whole life to get where you are, and now you're making more money than you ever did.

 

So what pushes that guy to the point he walks away from his million dollar job?

For the vast majority of the population, it doesn't take much if you have the right ammo.

 

If he beats the crap out of one of them then HE'S the problem. Fugged up situation...

Reports now saying that Incognito was using racist remarks and making plausible threats, not just generic 'kick your ass' type stuff.

Oy :unsure:

Tony Dungy and Scott Pioli both talked last night about their respective team's having flagged Incognito as undraftable (Pioli wasn't high on Jonathan Martin either).

A while back someone started a thread on here that we should try and obtain Incognito because he "wasn't a choirboy" and "had a mean streak".

Apparently :blink:

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
