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.

FYI, the NFL doesn't give a crap what you think they should do. Here, go to the website and read about it if you want to know why they do it.

Obviously this is a cancer that has affected many many NFL players and the organization as a whole chose to partner with the American Cancer Society. The money isn't just going to support the fight against breast cancer, that is just the avenue chosen because the whole month of October is breast cancer awareness month.

WHY PINK?

All apparel worn at games by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins will be auctioned off at NFL Auction (www.NFL.com/auction), with proceeds benefitting the American Cancer Society and team charities.

Simmer down. Have a beer. Smoke a bong. Get laid.

I think we should do away with black history month because everyone is aware of black people. We should replace it with Eskimo history month.

As a black man... I must say... I laughed at this.

However... Its not Black "Awareness" Month. Its Black History Month. Its not that others are not aware of us... They just dont give a crap about us. But I need Black History Month...

Its the only time of year I get to feel like my country pays imaginary attention to me. It gives me something more to complain about. Plus, its a time to prove to all of my white friends that their stereotypes are actually based on true stories.

Im down with giving Eskimos a month... but they need something a little more... "august." Im thinking... September.

I actually like it. The pink bats they use in MLB are kind of awesome too. Call me a ghey if you'd like, but it's cool that a bunch of steroid fueled testosterone junkies can pull off the pink gloves, socks, etc. look.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
