offyourocker Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Any team taken a chance on him yet? I just spent 20 minutes reading about him and the concerns are obviously significant but man can he play. His highlight videos are better than any other tight end I have seen in the draft. He finds himself wide open all the time, runs over people. They used him as running back multiple times. Any way to sign him and hire a 24 hours chaperon to keep an eye on him. Sign him up to meet with Dr. Sean Maguire 3 times a week?
Pete Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 sign him. What do we have to lose? I can't believe no one has signed him yet with all that talent. Its like he has been blackballed https://twitter.com/LongLiveLyerla
playman Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 given our latest track-record of handing out 2nd chances left and right i am quite astonished we haven´t signed him already. otoh, when not even we sign him, wha is really the deal with that guy?
PromoTheRobot Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The guy is flat out nuts. Hard to believe there really are people too crazy for the NFL.
bowery4 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The OP has the right screen name for starting this thread. I would think it might be good to sign the crazy kid, crazy kids are fun.
YoloinOhio Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 given our latest track-record of handing out 2nd chances left and right i am quite astonished we haven´t signed him already. otoh, when not even we sign him, wha is really the deal with that guy? Lyerla's issues, just what we have seen documented let alone what else these teams probably know, go beyond any projects/problem children this team has taken on. I am sure every fan of every team wants their team to sign him. But they aren't the ones that have to deal with him. Pass.

VanCity Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The guy is an obvious talent, but cases like Rae Carruth and Aaron Hernandez have put the league on notice. red flags cannot be ignored and the ramifications of ignoring them can be immense. If he truly had his head on straight he would have deleted his twitter account and gone into a training and rehab program. Neither of those things happened.Ergo, red flags still abound.

agardin Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Sign him. There doesn't appear to be any violence in his history so the downside would be that he is bounced because of substance abuse or not getting with the program. Guys are bounced all the time, see Josh Gordon. Is anyone blaming the Browns for giving him a chance?
starrymessenger Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Ahern has permanently spoiled the well for TEs who walk around with an ankle bracelet.
marauderswr80 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Even James Hardy had a highlight video.... You cant fix stupid!
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Give him a second chance at life I'll give him a chance. He is totally welcome to come clean my house, under adult supervision.

RuntheDamnBall Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 In his favor: has totally not killed anybody yet. Against him: coked out conspiracy theorists don't often make good teammates.
4merper4mer Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Calling Sandy Hook parents liars is a special kind of crazy. Not take him to the zoo kind of crazy, but more like choose not to associate with him kind of crazy. I think Greggo Marrone's talk about values is a totally bunch of blowhard crap, but at least even his false bravado isn't big enough to take a shot on this idiot. I guess I have to give him some credit.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Dude might be insane. There's always the kick the tires but he sounds flat out crazy and what did he really prove in college? Sometimes, people aren't worth the headache.
