Do you agree the franchise has been well run? Cause it wasn't many years under pops.Stitch01 said:Irsay has done a great job at having the number one pick when historically great QB's are available.
Don't let hatred blind you. I'll take Luck, you take RG III (with his two very serious knee injuries) and we'll compare notes in 3 years, ok?Dan to Theo to Ben said:This is awesome on so many levels.
You are confused. Why would I take Mr. Ed mouth and Barbaro health? I don't need the 3 years. I agree with you on rather having Luckdcmissle said:Don't let hatred blind you. I'll take Luck, you take RG III (with his two very serious knee injuries) and we'll compare notes in 3 years, ok?
I dont think they have been particularly well run since Polian senior left (was fired obviously, not stepped down) and I think Irsay is a clown even stripping out this weekend's events.dcmissle said:Do you agree the franchise has been well run? Cause it wasn't many years under pops.
Beyond that: lots of owners in those circumstances don't have the nerve to move on from Manning. And some of them who did would have picked the wrong successor. Luck was the right choice.

Far more serious, Tompkins and Stoez agreed, are the four preliminary felony drug charges Irsay is facing.
But those charges could go away, Stoesz said, if Irsay has a prescription for the drugs.
"It's not unheard of," he said. "If he has prescriptions, there are no felonies."
Stoesz added that based on typical law enforcement practice in the county, the four drug charges suggest police found four different types of drugs in Irsay's vehicle.
The impaired driving charge also appears to involve drugs rather than alcohol. The Carmel police statement made no mention of alcohol and did not mention a preliminary breath test, which is typical information included in such reports when alcohol is involved in a DUI case. A department spokesman said he could not confirm or deny whether Irsay was given a breath test at the scene or at jail.
Stoesz said it sometimes can be more difficult to get a conviction in drugged-driving cases because prosecutors must prove a person had a level of a drug in the person's system that would render the person impaired. That is not as clear-cut, he said, as having a breath test that shows a blood-alcohol level at or above 0.08.
The most likely outcome, if Irsay does not have a prescription for the drugs, would be for him to take guilty pleas to DUI and one of the drug charges, Stoesz speculated. In such a scenario, he said, Irsay probably would be placed on probation for a year or two but not receive any jail time.
"That would not be Jimmy Irsay getting a break," Stoesz said. "That's what would happen with just about anybody under similar circumstances."
soxfan121 said:I don't doubt Mathis' story; his mother is dying, he and his wife do want to have another child while the mother lives, couples that have had twins (or more) are at much higher risk for multiple fetuses and much more at risk for several complications, use of Clomid does enhance male fertility, making the chances of natural conception go up. All of that checks out.
What doesn't check out or make sense is that Mathis trusted a fertility doctor to know about the NFL PED policy and that Mathis failed to do his due diligence by calling the team or the NFLPA to ask "is this OK to take?"
So, regardless of the reasons - which are valid - Mathis deserves to be suspended because he knew he could call and check, but didn't. That's on him.
