[Character doesn’t matter??]

That doesnt matter at all. You still show up and do your job because your team is depending on you. That stuff is for the offseason.

 

And as far as the Raiders.....well he didnt show up to practice yesterday because of a helmet. That to me is quitting on your team. It's just a football practice. Even if you're not gonna practice, you still show up.

 

In any business you need to be able to rely on your staff to be there. There is nothing worse than someone who cant be depended on. In football, its magnified. When you're the best/most important player on the team, it becomes an even bigger deal. 

 

Completely agree.  In the military, if someone doesn't show up or refuses to train (besides the point that obviously they will get in trouble) it affects the entire team's chemistry/camaraderie.  I don't want that person on my team because when it matters the most, it could or will get somebody killed and in this case, lose games.

 

Like you said, it is quitting on your team whether it's just practice or not.  You're still entitled to show up even if you're not practicing/training.

Sorry, I guess there's another thread for this.  Mod please close.

[Fountain injured]

I find it interesting that he's out there with no lanyard or ID like all the other VIPs

Peyton/MVP... no credentials needed.

 

 

 

I think even Irsay wears a badge.

[Will Andrew Luck play in the first regular season game?]

I'm hoping he plays.  The last time the Colts opened their season here in So Cal was against the Rams in 2017 were my wife and I bought tickets to watch Luck and the Colts play against the Rams.  This was before the surgery and during the pre-season they kept saying Luck will start.  Well, they started Tolzien and we lost to the Rams 9-46.  To make long story short, I hope they don't lead us to believe he will start and come first game of the season he's not.  Looking forward to going to the game.  The Chargers are a good team and I will tough to match up against them if Luck doesn't play.

[Big Q's injury]

I seriously thought his legs were made of tree trunks.

[The aggravating "precaution"]

I'm not too worried.  It's good for the backups and rookies getting plenty of reps.

[Irsay’s comments on Luck]

Irsay is not a doctor.  I bet he meant to say something else.  If Luck has a headache, Irsay would probably say he's dealing with a "small little bone."

 

Well, I guess I will have to wait what this "small little bone" is before I make my conclusion.  At this point, I'm not too worried because he's been throwing and his leg is not the one throwing the football. 

 

[Which WR's do we keep?]

I hope we keep 6.  Fountain definitely is outplaying Pascal.  I'd be surprised if they keep Pascal over Rogers.  I guess we will find out in couple of weeks.

[1st preseason game. What do you want?]

WRs not named Hilton

RBs not named Mack

LBs not named Leonard

CB Ya Sin

[Peter King on Luck]

Luck isn't gonna quit on his team. One thing that stuck to me was when Reich took over and Luck started playing after his shoulder injury, he had this excitement coming back on the field.  If he can overcome a shoulder injury, a calf strain is definitely something that's not gonna make him retire so soon.  Other QBs would have walked out after a shoulder injury but Luck was so determined to get back on the field and did everything he could have done.  Guess what? He silenced the doubters. Yeah, the calf strain might limit his running abilities but he can still throw. Then again, it's just TC and pre-season. 

[Will Chester Rogers be on the 53 man squad?]

He think he will be around.

[Dungy 'Do what we do' vs Belichick gameplans]

I would like to be "LAZY" and still get paid millions.  

 

Now that's a dream job.

I don't mind a 1 year prove it deal.

[Odd man out at their position.]

Definitely going to be interesting to see who gets cut.

I think you meant....

 

Mahomes? After one good MVP year and all of the sudden he's top 3?

 

And the answer would be..................YES

Unless he proves himself year after year then sure.  But one year does not make him top 5.

So I guess Cam Newton and Matt Ryan should be on the list too, because they were MVP as well.
