likely to get tagged with charges but not actually do even a minute behind bars.

more similar than ruggs is probably Carter- with the street racing. The nfl has to be eager to stamp out both behaviors though. he won’t do jail time but unlike Carter, rice is an nfl player and will likely miss a few games

You are right. I’m back on team 5.

because they caused a 6 car accident while racing and left the scene?

Someone with those funds probably has interest from sooooome community. We will see. Could be they are still less certain the owner, or driver.

fine, 6 yards

I’m saying that I just posted a link purported to be the accident coverage early in the process. I suspect with this becoming a national news story - there may be some dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s on stuff that might’ve been shared in passing on a boring traffic report but who knows. Might not even be the same incident, you know how these stories go with weird offshoots of doctored up video with date changes to make them look related.

I mean, very possible. or it could be a car he lets his friend, or family member use and rice is far away. as day breaks we should learn quite a bit more. It’s harder and harder to be out of communication when you are a national news story. If he took off he may avoid dui, but between the surveillance stats we are in with cameras everywhere, plus data from phones and cars themselves…. He would be trading the dui for a fleeing charge and that won’t be pretty either. multi car and someone was at the hospital when it was reported by Dallas traffic news prior to rices name being involved

nostalgia is real but if I’m an nba GM, a 10 ft fadeaway jumper isn’t getting a first round grade either

that’s as much about opportunity as anything. Mostert is fine enough but he’s not an elite piece in an offense. Scheme and reps padded that number a ton.

and to my point: in your wildest dreams of his potential, you picked a guy with a paycheck between Jerry jeudy and Christian kirk

we passed on paying tons of very good and proven veteran safeties peanuts. Wasn’t a priority, so why spend our most valuable resource on one now? go get a receiver or pass rusher that’s two to three times as costly in free agency

this plus weathering distractions. And ensuring Hackett truly is a coffee runner. it’s all in on one year in jersey but sometimes that works.

add on the same commentary on the kickoff debacle and…. the whole operation was bad is coded “leadership failed”

shakir strikes me as lance moore of saints yesteryear a bit. Both in general skill set and potential usage as a productive WR2-WR3 in am offense with weapons out of the backfield and at TE ideally not the center of attention but super slippery as the non focal point I don’t see him as a kupp but think if held in the right role, with the right offense - he could be super productive. I think this era of nfl makes those guys harder and harder to keep in those successful auxiliary roles though as someone wants to pay them more than you can pay as a role player

If none of the WR at 28 have a 1st round grade - we’ve screwed up by not moving up if picking there you then look to pass rushers and guys that effect the qb no luck there? Have to try to move back no luck there? Maybe an OT or CB? no luck there? May as well trade it for an established guy at a less premium spot since you aren’t saving money anyway. Take the risk out and let someone else get their draft target to put it in perspective- average centers are paid like good kickers. Bass is the 8th ranked kicker and would be a slightly above average paid center (essentially even with Morse now) that’s not a top 40 wide receiver or top 50 edge rusher pay check. could you imagine taking a kicker anywhere near that spot?

You can sign a prowbowl center for less than gabe Davis just received WR isn’t the shiny exciting pick, it’s the financially sound pick.

on that token- I’ve never thought of “close my eyes and think it was the original” as actually being a good cover I mean, cool for a bar band, right? But in an artistic sense it’s so much cooler when someone successfully walks the tightrope of bringing new life to a familiar work. Funny enough, that’s also the fast track to a bad cover too.

though of course is still 3 games in 11 days and the golden goose for the league is fantasy football so let’s further jack up the late season experience

totally fair but even in a bizarre clumsy wording - it’s a really strange way to describe the entrenched franchise qb. He’d really have to walk it back drastically and immediately for it not to be off putting and that it even slipped would be strange

I woke up this morning and still can’t fathom saying we’re looking for Josh to become the face of the franchise it might be stranger than the 9/11 speech

He’s a good player, but not a star. at his price, and in Miami - I can’t say I think that he will be the best value possible. You could likely get similar production a bit cheaper and without it being yet another guy in the clubs as heavily as he would be

I’ll say at this point it should be “Josh is a generational talent and the cornerstone of our club” and not “looking to be the face of the franchise”

I don’t think he’s great but better than mason Rudolph or Pickett
