Suffice to say, not a great look for the Ravens offensive staff.  

I’m not sure what point you’re making here. A desperation defensive strategy that worked against one specific offense one week didn’t work against a completely different and much more potent offense? Duh.

Ya, it’s a gamble on a preferred strategy. They are daring you to run... but only in this one way. If you can manage to run successfully in this other way, then the defense is totally screwed and they’ll be forced to abandon the 7 DB thing. Which would then open up the first kind of running again. And so on. 

In this case the Chargers were hoping that adding speed on the field by putting extra DBs on the field could help them corral Jackson’s speed. Basically they gambled by having a few big bodies try to jam the middle to prevent power running by the Ravens, and then have everyone else rally to the ball.

Holy shit, imagine doing that to go root for the Bills.

So in 2018 they supposedly built an entire NFL offense around a single running back, who they selected in the top 5.... a few years after burning another top 5 pick on the guy they were planning to be their franchise QB... who they are now paying $16 million to NOT play on their team.  But they still have the GM who…

Are you confused about player admissions and contributor admissions to Canton?  Is this the source of your confusion? 

You’re the one making a claim.  All I’m asking for is evidence of your claim.  I’m genuinely curious who you think are these “mediocre duds” flooding Canton.

Name 10. And please try to focus on recent years, since it’s your contention that it used to be tougher to get in but now the standards have gone to shit. 

Kinda bogus and phony... how exactly? If you’re good enough to be in Canton you’ve had an excellent NFL career.

Doesn’t really seem like you got his point. 

So then why do you keep getting fired?

All true. Some certainly take financial literacy to heart, some clearly don’t. Ironically a guy like Peterson probably figured since he was a first round pick and signed multiple huge contracts that he would never run out of money which is how he ended up here. The sound financial advice seems more likely to be…

Some certainly do blow it off. These are 21 year old guys who (at least theoretically) are earning millions and are on top of the world. Its easy to see how that’s a recipe for disaster.  

Clearly.

The NFLPA already provides financial advice and training to players. Clearly it didn’t take in this case but it is provided.

YES! The perfect choice! You can make them Italian, spicy, bbq flavored, sweedish, asian, whatever you fancy just by changing the sauce. They should stay plenty warm in the slow cooker even if it’s not plugged in. Great option.

Re: Potluck question

What the fuck? 

They have sports teams to promote athletic activity, the type the military officers might need to be good at. Very very very few academy graduates are potential pro athletes, and even fewer are potential NFL players. This isn’t really a big issue.
