Their TE....Jason Witten. He is from my hometown (pop 12,000) . He was raised by his grandfather...who was the high school football coach. The field is named for him (the grandfather). Jason's brother just became the high school football coach. They were raised by their grandfather because their mother could not. Their father abandoned them all (mother and 3 kids) on the side of a highway...far away from anyone they knew. (There are stories of terrible abuse before that). Those young kids suffered terribly. When they could, their grandparents took them in...and saved their lives...physically and emotionally. Jason played high school football for his grandfather. They both are revered in my hometown...where there is 1 high school and everyone goes to the game on Friday nights. Jason has a [free] football camp for kids there every year. He is a really good guy.

I am sorry he is a Cowboy. I wish he were a Panther. He is a character guy...a perfect Panther type. And he is a great TE. (My sister has been to the Pro Bowl...compliments of tickets from his grandfather).

I hope he does well tonight. But, I hope the Giants win.

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      Yes. Arm strength is a problem too, but his biggest problems are decision making and accuracy.

      Bryce Young Work Ethic

      By Move the Panthers to Raleigh · Posted

      His work ethic may be a question mark, but I question his ethics in general. The way that he weighed in at the combine and the left immediately while everyone else was throwing. He knew he was conning someone

      Bryce Young QB School

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When did I say top 3 picks? Talking about starters who were unsuccessful or sent packing from one team to find more success on another--- Goff? Carr? Geno Smith?  Darnold? Baker?  --heck, if you take those QBs alone (5) you are talking about over 15% of the league.  But you are looking at performance and I am looking at skill set and fit.  What you did not mention is the bust rate for the rookie qbs who are drafted.  Why is that?  Fit and, in my view, opportunity to develop. I know that it is easy to say, "I saw this on TV"  or "but he has only been good for a short amount of time"  well, this process is not a lifetime achievement award.  Darnold was here for a half season--did he ever show the success he did here as he has in Minnesota?  Nope.  So what is the difference?  FIT.  My point?  If Jones is a top 7 QB over the past 3 years when throwing from a clean pocket and here, we will have a top running back room (Hubbard and Brooks), a good young WR room, a good young developing TE, and a veteran, top 5 offensive line--those are the conditions that would make him throw from clean pockets.  That is all I am saying--did I give him a gold jacket?  I said it was risky.  So is drafting a QB.  I also mentioned other ways our team could improve. But you decide to put words in my mouth and then argue against those words.  Brilliant.
