Trade for Brandon Graham

[GimmeTheBall!]

Graham had micro-fracture surgery as a rookie. He might never be 100% again.

Like a felony, injuries can haunt a athlete for a lonk time.

I was nodding my porportionately big head until you said "3rd." Then I spit out the free government oatmeal I was eating.

Gimme, your shtick is getting old, and I only just caught onto it. Just be a bigot if you wanna be already.

Regards from the pit of illiteracy because without people like me, remedial teachers would be out of work!

[Doc50]

If you are a real doc(not owned), you know How to confute this evidence? Sux for ya right now...ur ways don't work! Some liberal figured it out while you do tests? I know you have to wait for the declassification, but yaw got shown up, big time! I know how much money is tied up into medicine, so this won't be accepted as fact for another generation, but you guys have really worked us the wrong way (rehab wise, thanks for the end game options...)!

Science doesn't work?

You're probably against any proven mainstream medical strategies, such as vaccinations.

It's all a conspiracy, you know; like the WTC towers were rigged with explosives, and the NFL decides who'll win the SB each year.

Good luck to you, and I hope you seek real medical help before it's too late.

Reiterates
the doctor mentality, don't it? Hardy har har. Empathy is a critical tool in resolving (I know, why, who woudl've thought?) problems Yaw really don't care, do you? This patient is too difficult kind of thing? Help me doc, medicate me better? What is scientific about AA? There 50/50 success rate that no one can quantify? I will wait, ? Ok doc, keep raking in the racket I will see you "redefine research" as you do when it becomes convenient ($) = the need for health reform in the first place. Yaw love living off the sucker! Docs in this country are a croc. The problem is yaw neve acknowledge pratical solution unless there is profit involved. The public has bc much more aware of your "services"...

You're really serious about this?

You realize that many of us see patients for nothing? .....that insurance reimbursements have declined to Medicare levels?......that prices are fixed by said insurance companies, and Medicare and Medicaid?......that I may end up saving someone's life for $25-50, or nothing at all?

It's astounding that anyone would think that physician = wealth and power. Anyone pursuing that end will be sorely disappointed, and will spend years paying off their education debt. Unless medicine is one's calling (as it is mine), I would recommend a trade such as electrician or plumber -- much less investment involved and tremendously less liability, while the rewards measured in lifestyle may be better.

Now regarding the practical solution issue that you raised, I can't make any sense out of that.
I get paid only what your ins. policy allows, and whether you need brain surgery or simply more sleep, it makes no difference to my reimbursement.
Whatever solves your problem in the simplest way is the best for me, too. Re-assurance to scared patients with symptoms is all that is needed in many cases. I derive no benefit from prescribing more medications or procedures, only more liability which creates more cost for me.

I respond to this not out of a sense of defensiveness, but a sense of duty -- I wouldn't want anyone to delay or defer evaluation or treatment of a problem that could be tragic. If you or your family has had a bad experience with the healthcare system, then I apologize for my colleagues; but please don't discourage others from seeking proper care.

hate to get into political nonsense but the largest problem with healthcare is that it is too corporate.
and by that i mean this:
there are 97 different companies trying to make money off of every office visit.
it is absurd.

from an individual's standpoint it is absolutely ridiculous the cost to have anything done.
at the same time the fees and other companies physicians are paying have all-time high rates.
thus my 150 dollar office visit is paid out 30 ways.

so there really isn't any doctor-patient relationships anymore.
i see the same doc for a decade. i spend about 25% of the time I did a decade ago.
love the dude and believe he cares a great deal about my well being.
but you can see the system has changed tremendously and at no lesser charge to me.

i have two doctors in the family. neither are near hurting but they aren't wall street brokers either.

agree tho if you want to make a lot of money go into managing ... money.
because nothing makes money like money or dealing with only people who have a lot of it.

 

[jterrell]

getting thread back on track.

graham is a rotational player but not a starter. since he is no longer young or cheap he isn't worth more than 6th which we don't have or a 7th which Philly would have no desire for.

graham was a high school 5 star linebacker and was a linebacker at michigan before reaching 295 pounds, lol.
the 3-4 was thought to be a great fit for him but his work ethic and conditioning have been questioned throughout his career.

the microfracture surgery has little to nothing to do with his performance levels.
his knee has held up fine.

Sorry dude, I was in the wrong. Let my personal bias cloud my perspective. It's hard not to feel that way with the structure of things, etc. until you get that "Becker" doc. Just the girls I've dated growing up to DRs? They some cold folks! Insurance is the bigger coup. Great post, and counter. There is research out there that erb helps with opiate addiction (didn't just pull that out of me) but took it to another level. My bad.

Making money off the sick (We are the only proud 1st nation that does it) We screwed our economy for the sake of it (the few that do get rich?)? He gets it. But keep hating the prez bc he broke the monopoly? You will all be fans in 20 years but right now, the corp hacks are having diarrhea over the new structure. The Wambalance comes a rushing.

 

[Rockport]

The rookie cap makes it very easy actually. Specifically?

Well, you can get 1 or 2 good players, but that's about it. You can't go out and get all you want. The draft is, and always has been, how good teams get built.

With looser caps the draft has less importance.
But with the NFL owners winning the last round of negotiations it became imperative.

Cap is opening back up now and a team can be players in free agency to win.

But the draft is always going to be the best, most cost effective way to win.

Problem is that you have to pay your own draftees eventually and thus the challenge of long runs of success in a cap era.

Will be interesting to see Seattle's roster and win total in 2 years. All that draft success comes at a very real price point.
