Can we stop being sensationalists and speculating without any facts just because some posters don’t like his demeanor? If he does something worrisome then we can worry, until then let’s not assume that routine things are signs of doom. Haven’t seen anyone be this scrutinized this quickly in a while.

We all know “why” it’s happening

Wolfhunter branded camo gear = aww shucks honest kid trying to make his way in the world

Cleareye branded sunglasses = selfish, self-promoting, “lazy” and egotistical cancer

Yah, why even mention color? Enough already.


You have your opinion and I have mine. But to answer your question, it’s reality. For whatever reason it seems to be a lot of people’s human nature to judge people by color, and you know that so stop with the “why bring color into it?” If you are a person that doesn’t judge, god bless you but let’s not act like this doesn’t happen far too often. And if you are offended by my statement I apologize but I’m not backing down.

Also who are you to tell me what to post. I haven’t heard from not one moderator or even the creator of this forum and most have read my statement. There is a thing called the “ignore” feature if I bother you!

I just caught up with this thread and, to be honest, haven't read every post. However... there are a string of posts that remind me of the old Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy movie, "Trading Places" and, in particular, the bet on the "nature"vs "nuture" argument.

Some of you need to rewatch that movie and lighten up

:laugh:

If Joseph's issue at LSU was with a coach(es), who cares? If coaches were always right, there wouldn't be so many fired every year.

Tell ya what, if that's my kid and they recruited him to play CB and are trying to move him to S, he's outta there. That is potentially a swing of millions of dollars.

Position matters, that's how Booger got Collins, he agreed to play him at RT because almost every projection had teams making him a G. The difference in money is substantial.

Philly, while your point is valid, it's best to steer clear of these areas because it opens the forum up to go where it should not and does not want to go.

I do think the inequities are known by most here even though we don't discuss it.

I wonder what people think seeing him in that video with Gallup and Prescott giving that lady a new car? Do they play the "what's wrong with this picture, thought this guy had character issues?"

I find it interesting that LSU was basically silent about his transfer and you don't have to look hard to find the character issues on that team. They were looking the other way on sexual assaults and Joseph has a character issue?

You just joined in February. How do you know what we’ve been thinking for years?

Did you have an account here prior to this one? You wouldn’t have happened to call yourself Aria in that account, would you?
You might be right, Asthma - but so is the poster. RG would be gone were it not for the world’s growing acceptance of a nasty-smelling weed.

I don't think it's wrong to believe a guy with a history of character issues does in fact have character issues.

Some of ya'll thought every year single year was the year that Randy Gregory had finally got it together. He NEVER got it together. It took a rule change for him to have a career. Some guys just don't change from the person that had "character concerns" pre draft.

I'm glad that it's nothing major, but Joseph didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt yet. His issues take time to develop trust. I don't care if he does have a star on his helmet.

baseless speculation doesn’t require benefit of the doubt. just routine patience

Did I say cut the guy? Good lord you guys are taking this a running with it.

I just said the kid doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt because of his past. I didn't say throw him in the streets.

I'll ask you, if you had a guy that had a history of stealing, would you allow that person to stay at your home with 100% trust? If something came up missing would you give him the benefit of the doubt or would you look at the persons past and think "ya know, maybe it's just a problem they have".
Wow, he’s a thief now too? Goodell gonna suspend him I’m sure

Moutaineer doesn't come across as some new poster either. He posts with the same tone as other guys that's been on this site for awhile do. Interesting observation.
And despite being new, he talks about the history of the site, seems overly familiar with some posters and purports to be expert on the tone and tenor of the vibe.

Probably got benched on is main account for trolling

I'm the dude, playing the dude, disguised as the other dude.

Get with the program, bud.

This whole missing a practice is a bigger deal to us than the team.

I heard they gave him the day off to go steal that car they gave to the lady. Robin Hood is on the car lot!!!!!!!!

Now, they need to turn him loose stealing footballs! Wouldn't it be just peachy to have a ball skills CB back there?

I detest the "young men" defense.

A lot of people are young men that don't act like complete dolts.

erod----i am the last person that can point a finger at anyone....i was still creating wreckage in my life and wife and families life at age of 34 with addictions to booze and drugs....by only the Grace of God did He Deliver me from that stuff...my wife should have divorced me as total loser....but she is one of the few real good women who stood by the vows she made at our wedding....but its now been over 20 years and things better got grandkids and for some reason they like me....so when these young men many grew up poor ..out of nowhere are mulitimlillion-aires and tons of attention and publicity totally blow it...only reminds me of me...but i did not need tons of money or attention to make real bad choices when i was young

Its interesting. Because I don't think like that at all. I wonder why some people come in expecting the worse for a guy and others don't...is it because i'm..."naive" like @erod says? Or is it because I can relate to someone and believes certain guys should get the benefit of the doubt?

mr rocy---- the bible says...whoever has been forgiven much...will forgive much themselves...i am no bible thumper or anything....but i think it might apply in all of this?
