No, not at all. Some of sports greatest ever are people from all backgrounds, not just “white.” Coaches included. I don’t even think I could name a NFL coach of color who I believe that they are in the position for any reason other than merit and sharing a common interest in winning with their respective management. I would argue that the act of forcing diversity hires would harm any organization. Just bad practice all around. I understand the Rooney rule only requires that there is consideration and interviews with minority candidates. I don’t have a real big problem with that.

Aside from your personal opinions on Trump, what bottlenecks exist that prevent qualified people from having success? If the candidate is talented and successful in what he has done already, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t be considered for the job. What does the color of someone’s skin have to do with anything? From what I can tell, diversity hires only block qualified talent and lowers standards.

What the heck is that?

Those were the days

If he improves he’s welcome to stay

I put it on for a couple quarters but then if judge Judy releases a new video on YouTube I switch. It’s more interesting

Na, I’m not going that far, Tepper hasn’t earned that kinda support from me. Just based on my own observations, sounds like the whole coaching staff and front office were on board, so I don’t really pin the blame for such a costly trade on Tepper alone. the HC hire on the other hand…

Is this some kind of new revelation? All drafts and trades are gambles. Tepper and the team took a risk. You gotta risk it for the biscuit. Im not a football genius, but the team is not complete yet- I don’t believe that it’s for not trying though- seems like the fo is trying, whether the moves end up paying off or being a sore spot in history is yet to be seen. But the joy of sports is that it doesn’t really matter. Watch and enjoy, or don’t.

Who’s going to pass rush if burns is gone? I am skeptical of trading away what little talent we have left here. Not like we are going to make a playoff run this year.

This forum is a sad sad place to be. Sometimes it feels like it’s filled with over emotional kids. We lost a preseason game. Big whoops. I enjoyed the game, it was nice to watch some football again after a long hot summer. I opened CH in the middle of the game and immediately closed it, I didn’t want to ruin my game day experience by reading so much negativity. How some of you function in the real world is a great mystery to me.

It’s a risk but we weren’t getting anywhere with our current QB room. For me the win was getting the top 1 pick. Ensures we got whatever pick we wanted. BY will likely do at least better than the last 4 guys.

Plowing your QB through the line is not the only way to convert short. But what do I know, I’ve only been watching football for 20 years.

Almost happened to me at home about 4 years ago. My 3 year old jumped in the pool behind me after a long day at the beach. I had jumped in because a canopy had blown into the pool and I was just trying to get it out. I didn’t notice she has fell/ jumped in until she bumped into my leg down at the bottom of the pool. I pulled her out and she was foaming and throwing up water, took her to the hospital where she was released after some observation. She was probably under water for around a minute. Happens in an instant and is terrifying beyond anything I have ever experienced. Still makes me sick to think about it. i have safety gates and everything, nobody goes out in the pool deck without supervision, but even with supervision, turning your attention for a few seconds is all it takes. Prayers for the family, they are going through hell now unlike anything anyone can imagine unless they have lost a child.

Did he not? Or did he blow his shots when given the opportunity? Never passed confidence over the other QBs we tried? I wouldn’t think that playing the victim card helps his career in any case. Maybe he can embrace the opportunity to share a locker room with the people he does. His shot of a starting career isn’t over. Heck, Young could go down, and he could be out there after learning from the wiz and show out.. Attitude is important.

Wonder if we trade down to 2 for stroud
