I would be genuinely shocked if this draft is better than 2020. I'm down for it, though. We really need to crush as many drafts as possible to aid in the rebuild.

You assume it is even possible to hurt Chuck's feelings.

Can't do it in that uniform, sadly. I hope he ends up somewhere that I can finally wish him the best again. Not sure I'd copy the recent Pats draft model.

I mean.....you know he is 22 years old, right? So you never got wasted in your early 20's? The DUI shows a general lack of responsibility and very poor decision making. But, being drunk at a club? Man...he's 22. Most of the NFL players at that age are partying and doing young people stuff. Were all the Gronkowski partying/drinking videos indicative of him having a drinking problem?

One of them is not actually a Panthers fan but a Lions fan. Has said so multiple times here. That's why I like to rile them up from time to time(just bored while completing another task). Typical "my way or the highway" opinion posters. Literally come unglued if you don't share their exact point of view. Those guys always entertain me. Why are you even on a message board if you don't want to debate? If you just wanted a circle jerk of your own opinion being validated and spouted back at you....maybe go to social media. That's the platform for that.

If you want to see a real Kettle/Pot scenario, maybe read your last post. Speaking of lack of self awareness. We get all kinds of opposing team fans in here, surprising you stayed around given how sensitive you are.

I think drinking problem is a stretch. He is just being young and dumb, just like a lot of young people are dumb. I don't begrudge him young, dumb mistakes. The question I always have about any of those guys is how quickly they are going to mature.

I will never understand the Mac Jones stans. He seems like such an obvious example of a guy that has a very low NFL ceiling. And I don't mean to say that he can't be a great #2 QB in the NFL at some point but nothing about him screamed long term NFL starting material.

He's probably a little better than Stidham.....maybe. Either way, the idea that any of those guys could actually compete with Cam is laughable. Once that happens, Cam's career is truly over.

Yeah, even if you are old school, can you imagine knocking out someone like DJ or CMC and potentially jeopardizing their season? Even if people can't buy into the new mentality, you don't want to be potentially injuring teammates prior to the season. Ever.

Guilty conscious?? That you, Cosby?? WTF

iamhubby1 for sure. SBBlue needs the emotional support.

I mean, I am not the one that came in all butthurt over a message board comment. I get it though, sometimes the internet is hard for people that aren't used to it.

If Cam didn't win that job is says a lot more about Cam than it does the bums behind him. No one really believed that nonsense about Mac Jones, right?

He made the critical error of lowering his head. It's a no-no in the game today. In fairness, both for the guy lowering his head and the recipient. You can just as easily fug yourself up doing that poo as you can someone else.

You guys need a minute to spoon?

I don't necessarily fault the gladiator zest that previous NFL fans had. This isn't some new thing in human history. In fact, look simply at the wide variety of combat sports that are popular worldwide. For better or for worse, that is part of human nature. We are a violent species and for decades part of the football appeal was watching a bunch of dudes beat the poo out of each other and then be "tough" by sucking it up. All that being said, the NFL had to react less because of actual care for player safety but because of current and future liability, especially when it was discovered that they had long sought to suppress evidence of the long term effects of traumatic brain injuries. I wish that it was actually real player safety they cared about but it's a big evil corporate entity that isn't unlike most big evil corporate entities, it ultimately only cares about it's bottom line. You are 100% correct about the need for this only increasing over time because although equipment improved moderately, the extreme size, speed and athleticism of the modern players rose across the board. All eras may have had extreme athletes that could rival players from today but the average player has never been as big, strong and fast as the modern era. All that leads to much more violent collisions and injuries. The longest battle to fight won't be in the NFL, however. It will be at least a couple of decades of coaches from the pee wee level up through college that will have to either retire or die before they give up the "old ways." Hell, we still even see some of these maniacs come into the NFL, typically before they are quickly ushered out under a spate of media scrutiny. It's going to take a long time to get the majority of players that are taught to tackle and hit safely and properly. You still see college and NFL players that can't adjust to years and years of programming about "the right way to play football."

Yeah, even if not true I absolutely loved that conspiracy theory. If it isn't true, I'd even lean into it if I were Igo. The pure entertainment value is extreme. Is there an official Chuck log? If not, there should be. If his posts didn't all get nuke, you could just search for the string "who is chuck" and all the non-chuck names would immediate pop up.

Some trolls deserve ignoring because they are just shitty at being a troll. A good troll can be a masterpiece that almost anyone can appreciate. A bad troll is just miserable to deal with.

I truly hope that is the case.

You clearly haven't been here long enough to see the multiple Zod/Igo threads about Chuck's fate. This is a semi-regular occurrence. You are definitely oversensitive, as you usually are.

No one deserves that level of cruelty. The Tinderbox is basically the equivalent of Tadmur.
