You meet someone, maybe out with friends, or on the internet where ever.

They are nice looking, and you seem to get along.

You are college educated and have a white collar job. Teacher, engineer, etc. They, never went to college, don't really want to, and work in a blue collar job, Bartender, cashier, waitress.

(I am asking a question here, not judging anyone who has or doesn't have a college education. So don't write me and accuse me of being some kind of snob (or worse) etc.)

Are they long term relationship material?

Really, not a serious question.....their job should have no relevance. If they're a good person then they're a good person no matter what they do for a living and I have a Master's degree.

Your degree or high level or high paying job doesn't make you a better person nor does it make you more pleasant or a more compatible mate. If you make more money you're still just as capable of being an asshole or person of poor ethics as somebody without the degree.

Not as simple as it seems.

It isn't so much about formal education as it is about intellectual curiousity.

Is she/he a knucklehead?

You prefer deep discussions about politics, science, the arts and he/she prefers tractor pulls.....

You get the point.

Again, the formal education part is NOT the issue, the question is, does the career path reflect an overall theme, and if so, does that theme make this a dealbreaker for a LTR?

Not an issue for a hit it and quit it thing, but if it is serious, it can have significance.

good point.

And you will have to take the time to find that out. Don't just assume that because someone has a degree they are smart and like deep conversations and if they don't have a degree than they only like to talk about pro wrestling.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.

      Agreed which is why I mentioned it and framed it as being certainly an eat crow moment for a lot of people myself included. I'd love to see him shock the league like that. I think the direction the conversation went immediately after is a prime example of how the topic of Bryce Young in general has become so bitter and contentious. The fanbase is split between people who want to see him look like a first overall pick over the course of multiple starts and not just against inferior defenses and people who apparently have low expectations and are just fine with him not looking horrific. But that's not how the NFL works and that's not why we drafted him.
