Barry Sanders in his prime would have been ineffective with this line. Shady will bounce back next year with the Oline overhaul. And Zay Jones has been emerging as an effective receiver when he doesn't drop the ball.

Uh, apparently you don't understand that he can do the exact same thing as a coach and that our roster is limited to only 53 players regardless of what our cap situation is.

Every QB has inaccurate passes. Every single one. Even Tommy boy, even Brees. If we had even an average number of drops this year, his completion % would have been just fine. Especially if you consider the true drops, and not just the ones that are official.

You can pay a coach any amount you want. Uh, did you watch DA play this year. Why in the world would you ever want to see him on the field again? He is flat out terrible and has been for a very long time. Only 53 roster spots. Taking up one of those with someone who should never see the field is a waste IMO. Pay him what you want to coach, give him flexible scheduling. Who cares?

I don't get it really. He is terrible as a QB. Why not just add him to the coaching staff? The guy should never be on the field again IMO.

I use this one mostly. Just don't allow notifications and close the pop ups that come up like 50% of the time and it works pretty well. Rarely do I get a song that it won't convert. I also use it on firefox. https://www.flvto.biz/youtube-to-mp3/

GTFOH with this crap.

Don't really follow the Bucs so I'm not sure how high of a level he is still playing at. Certainly know he was excellent in the past. We have so much money that we will never be able to spend it all. This is the perfect time to sign impact guys to front loaded deals while we have so much space. That way you don't put yourself in a bad spot a few years down the road. Players love front loaded deals since they get more money sooner. Teams with space love them so they don't screw themselves down the road with bad contracts. Win/win in my book. And obviously we have new vacancy at the position and you can never have too many quality DL to rotate in and out and keep fresh legs out there.

No, he would not. He's a true freshman, not RS. He is eligible after Junior season. Tua would be though.

Except this hit was textbook legal, the defender was just not paying attention. Landry blindsided Aaron.

1/2 pot of black as soon as I get up. Water the rest of the day. Drinks sporadically. Works for me.

Funny. OP is clearly a poser. Any real pot head would not cause such a polarizing thread. We are into peace love and happiness. Not trolling and being a d*ck.

Agreed, that is why I said "if the job is worth it to you still." I would not be battling it out in the legal system unless it was a job that I really loved or I knew I wouldn't be able to find another one with similar compensation if I left (or was forced to leave).

Take this with a seed of caution. I am not a lawyer. I have been to law school and have done a lot of pre-law courses in undergrad and law school dealing with labor / employment law. These laws vary from state to state (as you are seemingly aware). Again, I am NOT a practicing attorney though. Here are my thoughts. If this job is worth it to you still, you should lawyer up. Often times just getting a letter from an attorney threatening to take further action is enough to get an employer of your back because they realize you are smart enough to not get pushed around. It won't cost too much for just a consultation and letter. If you have to take actual legal action, then it could start getting expensive. However, if you have a solid case you can get Lawyer's fees as part of your case so you could potentially pay nothing. As far as your case goes. You are only protected Federally by the FMLA for 12 weeks. Once that time frame of work taken off is done, they have no duty to keep your job (or a similar one) available for you. Your best bet here is probably going with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) instead. This requires employers to "reasonably" accommodate the needs of employees with disabilities. The "reasonably" part is where it gets cloudy as there are many interpretations as to what that means. So, they need to do their part to make sure you are comfortable and can put in the required work hours to maintain employment, in a nutshell. As far as violating their own internal policies. There is usually not a law against that, especially in Employment at Will states. Employee handbooks, for example, are not considered binding contracts in most states. So, if they don't follow their usual policies that doesn't matter UNLESS they are doing it in a discriminatory fashion against someone of a protected class. Someone on disability would be a protected class in most cases. Hope that helps a little, and sorry for your pain. Foot issues are terrible and so painful.

Agreed. His career is really not that impressive. He won at Stanford...when they had Andrew Luck, the best QB prospects since the early 80s. Not impressed. He won with the 49ers...after Mike Singletary did all the dirty work for that team first and got the roster and team discipline set for him. Harbaugh came and they seemed to get worse and worse each year. Went from 13-3 first year to 8-8 in 4th year. He's turned around Michigan....Michigan continues to get top ranked recruiting classes (arguably from advantages that are very NE Pats like as far as manipulating rules in setting up such as practice trips to exotic European destinations), yet they always choke it away in the big games. He has yet to beat their arch rival when that is the single most important thing for their program to do each year. This includes a 62 point performance given up by their vaunted defense this season. Ugh. He is the most overrated NFL / College coach I have ever seen.

This is untrue. Research points to roughly 10% of users becoming mentally addicted. I would put myself in that boat. Physical addiction, however, is not being shown in studies. I consider a pot head anyone who lets using MJ get in the way of their work/family/school obligations. To me, it's not the same as a habitual / daily user. I dabble into the pot head waters every so often, have to take a break for a few weeks / month, and then get back on track as a "normal" daily user.

Full moon with snow on the ground, it's so bright it is basically day time. Love it.

Where in the world do you come up with comparing Mason Rudolph to Aaron Rogers? Dude has never even played a snap yet and he was a 3rd round pick for a reason. This is just crazy talk.

Pretty sure his past issues were mostly alcohol related, no?

Yep, posted before it mentioned the suspension. That's what I get for giving people the benefit of the doubt. But still, addiction is no joking matter and neither are mental health issues in general. Thought he made a lot of progress. Guess not, sad.

It is a very good sign when someone can recognize they are having issues and address them before they turn into something big. Realizing you need help / time away or whatever and then seeking that help is something many with mental health issues don't / cannot do. Good for him that he has his priorities right it seems. Personally, I wish him well. And some of you posters are, quite simply, heartless. Edit - well, now that it is being reported he is in line for suspension I guess I can take most of this back. Although I still wish him well and hope he can get his life back on track with proper treatment.

Straight out of the 50s. Singing with some soul.

I'm guessing the 5 is the month of the year and the year is represented by the yellow color sticker. That way police can easily tell if its expired or not from a distance.

Really? Are there actually people in here arguing that is better to draft lower in the draft (mid teens compared to top 10)? Seriously? You realize you can select the same person in the top 10 that you can select in the mid teens or 20's, right? Or, you could even trade down to those spots and get more picks. Imagine that. Teams are ALWAYS looking to trade up to make sure they get the guy they want the most. It's just a matter of how much they are willing to give up to do so. Sure, for a blue chip QB they may be willing to give up multiple firsts and/or seconds. Maybe they won't for a DB they want, but they may be willing to give up a third to jump up a few slots and that is still worth something to us.

So it's just coincidence that year after year they had remarkably low fumble rates with various personnel changes over the years? Even though it is accepted that one of the main benefits of deflated balls is the ability to secure the ball better? Sorry, not a joke at all. It is cheating, clearly against the rules, they did it 100% intentionally, and they thought it was something they could get away with it, until they got caught. The Rams, the greatest show on turf, felt as if the Patriots knew what calls they were calling and couldn't understand it. Like they were in the huddle with them. They recorded their practices and studied their audibles. Away headset's going down at critical times at Gillette? Come on man. This team is like the Billionaire who cheats on their taxes just to get an extra million or two to add to their coffers. That is, they cheat when they don't need to at all. And to me, that's what makes it worse. F them.
