none of us know EXACTLY why he's gone - but if we use our brains, we can come up with some very likely reasons why getting to Dallas wasn't possible for him.

I agree. Those who say they would not draft him I don't have a problem with that but to say you would not draft because he was unable to make it to VR for a visit? Well that is just being silly.

Silly is generous

Who said they wouldn't draft him solely because of this incident?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller?

This is a business, the draft is 2 weeks away and lots of teams are having him out. So what you are suggesting is that he should have foreseen that American would take down all its flights. Right

Where does it say anywhere in any of the articles his absence was caused by a cancelled flight?

Its Friday I did not want to offend today. I admit he is not my 1st choice out of the CB who are likely to go in the 1st rd but if those other top CB are gone before we pick and he is still there I would take him.

Does it matter the reason why? If he made it to VR for the visit would you then want to draft him? For whatever he was unable to make it that much is pretty simple. He like many other players are making visits at many different locations and it did indicate a conflict in scheduling

Exactly right. Scheduling conflict actually suggests he's visiting with another team. No? So which team would he schedule in front of the Dallas Cowboys? Seems he prefers another team.

It doesn't but those with half a brain can use logic to derive an answer.

See Below:

A) People all across the country are having a hard time getting to Dallas because of canceled flights

B) Talib is out visiting other teams now, so Talib would have to FLY to get to Dallas.

Therefore, it is very likely that Talib had a scheduling problem b/c of a canceled flight.

Between blowing the Cowboys off and failing multiple drug tests in college, I take this guy off the board this afternoon.

He gives VR a pass, I think VR will give Talib a pass.

first combines drug use combined with blowing off VR. the rest do seem to "suggest" that if you blow off VR you're history. seems to suggest it, does it not? (since suggesting is good enough by your own verbiage earlier)

just saying. : )

Are you gonna get semantic? No show was used earlier -- that suggest that the team didn't know he wasn't coming -- and I seriously doubt that was the case.

Scheduling CONFLICT.
