Otah was a beast. IMO, the best run blocking T we have ever had here. I mean, they hit the talent. Can't predict injury. I have never been an Otah hater. The not in a good way reference opens up that whole can of worms about thinking drafting and then paying multiple first round RBs as some formula for success.

It was one of the boldest first rounds IMO the Panthers have had in a draft. It wasn't a Stewart diss. We had just drafted a first round RB. Then we spend another first round pick on a RB (which was pretty nutz) and then after that went right back into the first round and surprised everyone. out of all the 10 billion predictions, no one was close on that one.

I think Thomas Davis was a great example. Sticking with a WR and making him the face of the franchise that physically assaulted 3 of your players in non-football scenarios was pretty bold too. Odds are high most teams likely part with those at some point. Stewart/Otah draft was pretty bold and not in a good way.

and as a Trevor Stan....I can admit in the two games we watched of Clemson /Ohio St, Fields was the best player on the field. I still have Trevor 1. But Fields is still 1b. Ohio St having COVID is simply that. Fields is a monster.

I literally said I don’t know if he is a good DB and that opponents didn’t act like he was that good. Some frankly gameplans IMO appeared to target him. but yeah, he is a good athlete. We just witnessed that fact

Horn worries me. As bad as the Gamecocks were and all the places opponents could attack them....teams didn’t seem to try to avoid Horn. Horn is a super great athlete. don’t know if he is a great corner. Opponents didn’t seem that worried about him IMO the little I watched him.

he took it to the UTSA Roadrunners. What more do you want.

You either do none or you got to do 90, 1, 89.

Well, we don’t know that 100% for sure. Nothing is ever 100%. We know that NFL teams have a history of helping protect their important players... it could be plausible they gave up helping protect a troubled asset. That wouldn’t be the Texans creating the mess.... and at least based on the statement by Watson’s attorney. Some with the franchise knew about women/worrisome behavior/ money demands, etc to some extent. So you would assume that everyone knew. would be interesting to hear when the attorney first heard of Watson’s rumblings and his overall relationship with Texans people.

Again. I got no interest in comparing horrible thing to horrible thing and arguing which is worse he was on camera assaulting a woman. He just inked a new deal this past season. The question is can the NFL step up and punish guys that can still play and make absurd money for people. Sharper was retired. NFL did a good job hiding Kellen Winslow Jr and protecting him too....when he could play. NFL likely could of prevented some of his crimes if they outed his insanity earlier. Which we learned was apparently well known.

Kareem Hunt just got a contract extension last season. NFL sadly knows their fan base pretty well IMO. that’s a me too era contract. And there was video on him.

Kobe did escape it. A large portion of young fans never even really new about it. Fans in general forgot. Didn’t care. He became a NBA goat and beloved face of the sport. some people remembering doesn’t mean in practical terms he didn’t escape it.

#metoo era doesn’t seem to care if an offense was committed in present day or the past though does it? We will see. Maybe you have faith in the NFL and major sports actually doing what is right despite essentially never doing the most bare bones possible. I certainly wouldn’t object to it. Sports has a sad culture of almost aiding in a lot of really horrible things. Would be nice if that gets broken.

He already wears #1 because of Cam.

I wasn't really trying to draw a direct comparison.....just pointing out with multiple different examples how the NFL and sports in general is pretty gross about not caring and punishing athletes like it should.

I mean the 49ers coach essentially admitted it today without technically saying it.

Sports is a weird and fugged up thing. Whether you are Big Ben scenario, a Leonard Little scenario or go to other sports like with Kobe. Whatever. Sports seems to consistently overlook all sorts of things it shouldn't.....and then everyone forgets. Mike Tyson is back to being a cult hero of sorts as another. Who knows. There clearly is something messed up with Watson going on. No way all these women are scammers at this stage.

Steelers kept their guy. Bucs did too.

I mean, Fields and Cam have history. I assumed Cam is part of the reason he wears 1.

Sam for a 3rd. I’d take that.

Justin Fields is going to be the best QB in the draft. You can't write it any better. Trevor, Wilson and Mac all going before him? Watch Atl get him and he be the dude everyone always talked about him being (well, outside of the last 3 months where we see the Mitch Tribisky effect going on).....we will be screwed.

Jimmy G = Teddy checking down is their QB dna

if you wanted to make an argument about taking a lot of one reads in college offense....you could do that with Trevor too. but people don’t do that with Trevor. and people don’t critique Fields when he and his team were healthy. They like to talk nearly exclusively about games where 20+ guys were out.

Fields and Lawerence would be a legit coin flip.
