Let's start a pool as to how long they'll wait before they announce his career is over.

I say: THREE WEEKS.

Another high draft pick in the bust column for Uncle Ted. Good luck to you, Datone. Neck injuries and the NFL don't mix well.

Why call him a bust? An injury is different then a bust.
A bust means the guy sucked, which I don't believe he did.
Injuries can happen to anyone at any time.
Besides, I don't know how serious it is. Has anyone heard anything?

You guys go ahead and split hairs between bust and injuries. If a player drafted in the first three rounds isn't an every down player contributing every game he is a bust. You want to categorize the Justin Harrells, Nick Perrys, Derrick Sherrods, Datone Jones differently than the Jamal Reynolds and Tony Manderich's that's your prerogative. I lump them all together as failed draft picks.

Its not splitting hairs.

If a player busts out of the NFL its because they didn't have the talent to play in it, and the GM who drafted him screwed up.

If a player suffers a major injury and is forced to retire it wasn't due to a lack of talent and unless the report on said player was that he likely was going to suffer a major injury, said GM should receive zero fault.

The world isn't as black and white as you'd like to portray it. For example if we're going by your harsh pass/fail analysis how would you classify players who've passed away prematurely? Guys like Joe Delaney or Len Bias who would have been mega-stars but died too soon, are they busts? GMs screw that one up too?

Mucky Tundra (10h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (11h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (11h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (11h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (15h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (15h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
