NFL players talk about getting shot up with Toradol all the time. It’s not a revelation or a secret. It’s also a NSAID, not an opioid, so while it’s a ‘painkiller’, it’s not addictive and has no effect on one’s mental state.

Well, no I'll take a stud with my homework and put him into a system that fits him.
But seriously how can you pay Parsons, pay CBs, lbs, and a stud DT which we're missing?
Parsons is a GMs dream on a bad team, exciting player who'll put butts in the seats.
Give me your picks!!!
Every team thinks they have a stud and every team I am sure did their homework. It does not change the fact that 2/3 of them were busts. Which means in simple terms 2/3 of the time you are getting a bust at QB and somehow that is worth more than Parsons?

Literally everyone knows that players get shot up with the special sauce if they are hurt. This has been happening forever.

Stop it. Only people on this board do homework and watch highlights. Scouts don't watch more tape or go to watch on person.

We have one of the best players in the league and people want to trade him.... This is why this fanbase gets laughed at.

Because a stud quarterback is going to lead you to the Super Bowl which we could be fighting for right now if we had one.
Parsons is a fantastic player but no one can affect the outcome of a game like a good quarterback or a bad 1 for that matter.
For 30 years we've been trying to get to the big dance with Jerry's priceless picks at the quarterback position it's time to just get one.

I'm also in the draft a quarterback every year camp.
I've been hearing this don't take the chance crap for 30 years I've had enough.

Love his free speech and confidence in speaking his mind but this is a strong accusation with a wide brush. He may have to add more context or pull it back a bit.




Toradol is hardly a pain killer. It's not narcotic but can be helpful with muscular pain. That said I see your point, and these leagues will always prioritize revenue over player health.

A stud QB gives you a better chance at a Super Bowl but really you still need to surround them with tons of talent which is why the Jaguars aren't close. Also all history shows is you need a top 15 QB really to have a shot at a Super Bowl and everything else is just surrounding them with talent which you cannot do if you trading away said talent for a 1/3 shot at getting a top 15 QB for cheap.

Aren't the Jags as close as we are? 1st round win, 2 round exit.

Most governmental bodies have been trying to medicate the world for years. People talk about oil companies making the rules, its the drug companies.

If you were to rank the top 5 teams in the AFC next year, no reasonable person would honestly have the Jaguars in their top 5. KC, Cinci, Miami, Buffalo, Baltimore (assuming tag), and even possibly the Jets after they sign a veteran are all easily ahead of the Jags and that leaves them in the same tier as the Chargers. If you were to rank the NFC next year, you would struggle to have the Cowboys lower than 4th. They are not in the same position. One team has talent but needs a few more pieces and the other has a few pieces but needs more talent.
