Shitty pointless player doing shitty pointless things in life. Go figure.

this isn't pointless at all.

he just kinda weakens the case.

now if like Ted Johnson came out and did it he would rightfully be considered a hero.

Actually, I remember a story that Brenston Buckner told about how Dan Morgan hit Shelton in the head one day in practice, and Shelton was never the same after that, so he has taken at least one big blow to the head. The problem though, is that he said Dan Morgan did that to every rookie RB to test their toughness.

BTW, he also said this wasn't a full padded practice so Shelton did not expect to get hit like that.

LOL you know Dan didnt hit that hard or he would have knocked out himself as well.

Yup, this article says a blow to the head ended his career:

The details of Shelton's situation are somewhat esoteric to everyone but him, his lawyers and the NFL, but here goes: He was injured in a helmet-to-helmet hit that left him with temporary numbness from the waist down. The hit ended his career, but Shelton's attorneys will argue that was only the beginning. The suit claims that the injury was incorrectly classified as degenerative rather than catastrophic by the pension plan (run jointly by the league and the NFLPA), causing Shelton to be denied the maximum benefit of nearly $225,000 per year. Instead, because his injury was ruled to have been one that causes impairments six to 12 months after the initial injury, he is currently receiving about $110,000 per year. The lawsuit is intended to rectify that perceived injustice.

Here's where it will get nasty: The league's public response to the suit -- by its lawyers through The New York Times -- cites a job that Shelton held in a Walgreens pharmacy as proof that he can hold down a job. Shelton's lawyers claim that he tried to work but couldn't because he couldn't stand for long periods of time.

Awe, poor baby can't make ends meet on 110k per year...

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
