And just as many people emotionally invested in his failure. You fit the type.

Personally, i just want to see where he is athletically now without the brace and love his work ethic and dedication.
Work ethic and dedication show through his play. I’ll say he has those traits when he starts diagnosing plays better.

I have a friend, fits him to the T. He is so full of BS, heck he invented BS. Ask him and he will tell you. LOL. Just as he will tell you he invented just about anything. Can do things better than anyone, and knows everything. A person can be painting a wall, a professional, and he will find fault with it.
But if asked to prove it, or go ahead and repair something or paint the wall. He will have a reason that he can't or won't. I call him out on stuff all the time. Needless to say, he starts yelling as he thinks if he yells he is right. It is now so bad, everyone thinks it is comical to see.
Sounds like some fans too. :muttley:
That's pretty hilarious:lmao:

* a person can only put up with just so much of that ,,,er,,,stuff!
He must be a childhood friend, jazzy.o_O

Not a childhood friend, just known him for 20 years. Though many of those years we didn’t hang out or talk, traveled too much for work To be around him. Which is a good thing. But now, I don’t travel and see him more often. Just need to put him in his place now and then. :laugh:

Stunning when you think about it and think about where his health was in his rookie year that this front office would waste a year by activating him. He wasn't remotely ready nor would he have been in the playoffs if there had been a push.

If this guy turns into a player this year, you have him for 2 years before you have to pay him....

You are right.

This is so bad Management. This will pan out like Lawrence. A high pick for 1 year of low budget high reward.

That is not how you build through the draft! Signing your own FAs to high contracts is basically the same as signing FAs from other teams. The draft should give you cheap starters for 4-5 years and then great trade value. Not bench warmers for 3 years .

He is not right at all........JSmith was never activated in 2016

and you don't get starters for 4-5 years from the Draft..... that is fairy tale land

You are lucky to get 2 years starting out of a draft pick........ Jaylon has 2-3 years left so he is right on track

In poker you would call that a hand well played. Lot's of risk, reward not known until the pot is yours

Nope, he's wrong. First, Smith has only accrued one year - his first season doesn't count as an accrued year under th CBA, so after 2019 he will be a restricted free agent rather than an unrestricted one. And second, this year Smith will walk in with some experience at the NFL level instead of starting from scratch like a raw rookie. There is nothing wrong with that.

And that problem is what exactly?

He's such a conundrum. He has both amazing threads and threads you want to set on fire.
He makes posts that are razor sharp and posts that make you wonder if he's sleep-typing.

In general I love reading him overall.

This guy has gotten more praise and regard as some superstar, than any player in the history of ever, for someone that hasn't really earned it.
Are you forgetting Matt "The Unicorn" Johnson?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone should be required to post drunk at least once a week.

I have his face tattoo'd across Ben Affleck's back. Or is that a Phoenix? Never mind, he wasn't ever able to rise from his own ashes.

Ah! Now I remember! His face is tattoo'd across Steve-O's back!

And if he had sat out last year he would be going into this year with no NFL experience and having to learn and get used to the game at the NFL level from scratch. If he is healthy this year he will be much more prepared to contribute than he would if he hadn't played last year.

Who is talking about last year?
