Im gonna risk sounding like an insensitive jerk here...

But I absolutely HATE those pink "breast cancer awareness" colors. I can understand doing a little something... but pinkifying the entire league to appease political correctness totally emasculates one of final institutions of Manliness.

you do sound like a jerk. they aren't wearing them to make a fashion statement, they are wearing them to bring awareness to breast cancer.

football is just a game, and breast cancer is a serious illness.

yet you spend much of your free time on a Message board about football.

It goes without saying that Breast Cancer is a serious illness. But you dont have to make everyone wear pink.

Its almost like if they made everyone wear black for black history month... or rainbow socks during gay pride month. Both of which I would think would be UNNECESSARY. My point is not about the seriousness of the issue, but my disatisfaction with Pepto Bismolling the entire league for those purposes.

Its not like I said... Hey breast cancer is funny isnt it? I have family members and friends that this disease effects.

Context.

I think the point is that everyone is very aware of breast cancer and the pink is pointless and worn for the sake of political correctness rather than any effort to bring awareness to any cause. There is more money spent and research conducted on breast cancer than any other disease.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of months ago so I'm very aware of how serious but if the NFL was serious it would help create awareness for prostate cancer or some disease that is more common in men in my opinion.

EXACTLY! Thanks for not taking it out of context.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
