Unfortunately, it was clear as soon as they showed him coming the tent.   

 

Have to assume he is retiring.   Hate it for him.

 

Our defense is toast the rest of the year.

Our defense was toast before this...just a little more burned.

Josey "Wales" Jewell went down yesterday too.  They said it was a groin/hammy.  Guess no word on him yet.  Pretty soon the entire defense will be practice squad players.  DJ has a groin too but he finished.  

Haha The Outlaw Josue Wales… that’s funny!  Def gonna use that.

Prayers up Shaq, I appreciate everything you’ve done and sacrificed for this franchise. 
 

Tepper’s Turf strikes again. 

The players slip on the surface--I noticed that we could have prevented that Cincy TD at the end of the first half had we not slipped.  Not injury related, but damn.

Which is weird cause turf often has too much grip.  Maybe is the cleat?  Idk

I met Shaq at the OTAs during his rookie year.  Washington was on the quarter system, so he was late.   I am 6'1" and I was taller than him--I am guessing he was 5"11" and he had a pretty thin frame--probably weighed about 220 then.  As a 4-3 OLB, maybe, but an inside LB?  His body has to be telling him to stop it.

    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.  
    • LOL wut? His career stats. 24-44-1 With 9 wins his highest ever.  With Barkley 64% 14000 yards passing going over 3000 just 1 fuging time 70 tds 47 ints to go along with 50 fumbles.  50 fuging fumbles In short he has 1 season over 5 wins.  1.
    • So a starting QB with 5+ years of experience and whose stats are very similar (if you do math) with Cam Newton's stats (who had much better defenses and offensive lines) here becomes available, and Bryce is your QB and you do NOT kick the tires on Jones.  You simply call him a "broken toy" and do nothing.  That sounds like a very passive approach.  Remember, you labeled him, not the stats he accumulated on some pretty bad teams since 2019.  I am telling you what a smart GM would do, and even if Jones is broken and can't be fixed, you make that determination after giving the matter due diligence.  You and Completely are simply forcing your opinions about his play into logic, and the stats do not support them.  Put him in a better situation and he will do better, but in a bad situation, with some terrible offensive lines, WRs, and bad defenses,  he was on track to have stats that parallel Cam Newton--like it or not--numbers don't lie, nor does his size, arm strength, speed, and intelligence.  Broken? I am saying he is an interesting prospect and should not be overlooked by bias, misinformation, and context.
