    Eh. Not a big deal. 

     

    Not a big deal at all for a team that actually has wide receivers.  This is a relatively significant deal for us considering our WRs currently consist of one dude with bad knees who can't gain separation, and another who can't catch and who might be dealing with the onset of a serious mental illness...

     

    Our WR situation is dismal.  Like, we don't even have an AJ McCarron equivalent right now at that position.  I've been banging the drum for Calvin Ridley at #12 if we can't get one of the top-3 QBs and it doesn't seem crazy at all with some of the developments this week.

    Criminal charges are likely off the table.   He'll pay for the damages and the DA's office will drop it.

     

    However, as to his football career, a great deal of uncertainty lies ahead...

     

    With no criminal charges I'm not sure if that will be the case, especially if he pisses clean.  Outside of removing himself for treatment if he is dealing with real mental issues, then this could ultimately just be a very embarrassing non-issue.

    Is there anything better than TBD tackling drugs and mental health issues?  These threads bring together all of our subject matter experts:

     

    Old timers who have never done drugs: "Hes addicted to smoking wacky tobaccy just like Darius.  Lucky he didn't kill anybody tripping on the pot. Cut his ass!"

     

    Mental health experts: "I took 2 semesters of Psych and clearly Zay is dealing with deep depression and suicidal tendencies likely brought on from dropping that sure TD pass against Carolina that f@#$ed my fantasy season! Cut his ass!"

     

    Actual mental health expert:  "my wife works in the psych ward at the local hospital and clearly Zay is dealing with deep depression and suicidal tendencies possibly brought on from having a tough rookie season.  What he needs now is all of our hugs and prayers!"

     

    Young guy who has done drugs once: "Dude, he was only smoking a little K2 and bumping a few lines.  He'll be fine in the morning.  People do s@#$ like this all the time when they're drinking and alcohol is still legal!  Do you even know how many things can be made out of hemp? Legalization would be a boon for the economy but big pharma doesn't want to give up their monopoly and the government wants us zoned out on Adderall and oxy so we're easier to control!"

     

     

     

     

     

    This is fantastic.  One guy even called PCP "THC".

     

    Apparently everybody and their mother also knows exactly what synthetic marijuana will do to you because they once read a story about another guy one time...

    Those guys would be morons if they mortgage their future on McCarron. They haven’t done so yet, just saying that it would idiotic if they did so. 

     

    I don't disagree, it just may not be so much about mortgaging the future as it is saving your ass with an offensive weapon for McCarron / Peterman / whatever QB you can get in round 2 if they miss out on the top 4, which seems likely.

  5. If this front office has confidence in McCarron then I can actually see Ridley being the first pick.  There's a need, he just played with Daboll and the offense would have a big Alabama connection in general, we wouldn't have to give up picks, etc.  Makes too much sense.

    I’m usually not the “watch him go crazy on the Patriots” guy but Hill scares me there. He has a lot of ability. He’s an idiot (google the sucker punch in college) but he has a lot more ability than most of the guys that they have had. It reminds me a little of Corey Dillon there. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hill was a 1k back with 10 TDs. I hate that.

     

    He can't catch though, right?  Wasn't that the knock on him.  He's slow too.  I'm not quite sure how they're going to use him, he's not really a bruiser either.  He's just kind of an all around below average back right now.  I'd much rather have Ivory - an equally boring back at this point - for the character and veteran leadership alone.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over Jeremy Hill. The Bengals thought so much of him that they drafted Joe Mixon in the second round to replace him.

    Have you watched him run the last two years? 3 speeds- Slow, slower, slowest. 

     

    As far as a Corey Dillon comp? I don't see it. Dillon was a beast!!  Incredible production, a work horse back for many seasons,. Hill had a phenomenal half season as a rookie and has not been any more than average since.

    Not to mention that New England's offense has evolved quite a bit since then 2006. 

     

     

     

     

    Corey Dillon was a horse who easily belongs in the tier just below the Hall of Fame.  Jeremy Hill finished his fourth season 3rd on the depth chart.  There's no comparison, I couldn't agree more.

    I went to school in Texas, I get it, but WNY is not even remotely liberal outside of the slivers of urban centers.

     

    If you don't think WNY is conservative then you either have a warped view of conservatism or just not very aware of politics. It's pretty simple. Look at county legislatures, house seats and state assemblymen from upstate.

     

    Meh, seems we're both moving the goal posts or maybe I'm too loose with my usage of WNY.  I'm largely talking about Buffalo because we're talking about Buffalo media.  Yes, I'm sure hamlets in Chautauqua county for example are probably conservative, Buffalo in general and therefore Buffalo sports media (the topic of this conversation, remember) slants left.

     

    This essentially just started off as a dig at the whiny claim that "all sports journalists are liberal!" as that's just not the case, and it's largely dependent on where that journalist calls homebase.  I'm not terribly interested in arguing about the political breakdown of rural WNY, I'll take your word on that...

    He never liked that tank. You're wrong. Were you the guy who called in and told Howard he was a bad parent for going along with the tank?

     

    You don't care what he said 2 weeks ago, and I'm supposed to believe you remember/care what he said 4 years ago? You're making things up.

     

    Anyways, I'm back on this thread because I'm listening to Schopp and Bulldog on the app, and he actually said Star puts up bad stats but is the reason for Luke Kuechly's success. The dude is a joke.

     

    eh.... I wouldn't qualify WNY as a liberal market. You don't really know politics, do you?

     

     

    I lived in WNY for 25 years, and then moved down south.  It's liberal, trust me.  I don't quite understand how simply pointing that out has anything to do with my understanding of politics?

    OK, if AJ is as good as all that, and is ready to start and win -- move up in the draft by trading picks and Shady, and draft Barkley.  Or do that if you aren't sure any of the rookies are really going to be better than AJ.

     

     

     

    Or get Calvin Ridley.  Really starting to think that may be a possibility.

    Agree with Mr WEO. I mean, if Jonhy Football had actually delivered on the field, who cares. Well alcoholism and drug addiction sure are no joke and can kill a career so he might be a bad example, but bottomline, being cocky ain't a deal killer for playing in the NFL! Do I personally like cocky self-centered player? Nope but what matters are results.

     

    How about a cocky guy who has already gained notoriety for being drunk in public before ever playing an NFL game like Manziel?
