Augie Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 This is not you typical weed use, let’s not forget that. The guy has a legit disease. Unless you’ve had Chron’s disease, you might not want to be judging. The league is just silly about this right now, but they will trade it for something in the next CBA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the case and if so, Henderson got a bad deal from the NFL. That is the case. It seems even stupider in hindsight. I think they even did a special review of it and decided to not allow it. These other leagues ALWAYS look the other way with weed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, we really need that sarcasm font. I’m just not sure he wants to go back there. I don’t know the guy but am sure he has an ego. I don’t know the details. I just know what I’ve been told. If he had an ego, he wouldn't still be with the ego-destroying XFL--he would be hustling right back to the NFL to prove everyone wrong. Despite what you've been told, your scenario doesn't make must sense, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Seantrel needs marijuana for symptom relief (and that’s a MASSIVE IF), his use makes him a liability. No use for a 4th string tackle who could suspended at any time.

He got a raw deal, but he’s back and eligible. I’m willing to live and let live. If you feel otherwise.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Seantrel's time here and him missing a lot of time with Crohn's. As I said, I think he got screwed by the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are some people so negatively adamant? This is a no risk, only upside situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he was smoking before he had a Chron's disease issue. I think he choose MJ because he smoked it before and it was easy to convince himself this was the easy solution hence why I think the Bills need to ask him the hard question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also been exposed to our blocking scheme longer. I’ll take him over Seantrel at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seantrel isn’t great but he’s serviceable. He plays a position of need and has some experience. He’s a better use of a roster spot at this point than certain other guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, exactly, is there to lose taking a shot at OT 4 mid-season when it’s a position of need. If he fails, you get another guy. It’s NOT like we have to forfeit games if he fails a test. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? If he fails, you go to the next guy. Why START with a lesser talent? Is it a moral issue for you? I WANT TO WIN GAMES! Weed won’t change that for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he floundered around finding work as "recruiter for the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl" (lol) until he jumped at the XFL position--a job as dubious as the prospects of that league. 7 minutes ago, BringBackOrton said: Eh, there’s enough people in the XFL that must believe it will work.

I’d make the decision based upon the ability to make the team better, if called upon. I’ll leave that to the FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
