Okay I would still take this guy. I am going to say something very immature here, but that is okay, seeing as though I don't have kids and am only 24.

It is only weed! Cut the man some slack. The world's best swimmer also loves the grass.

... yeah umm that is why I am not a GM of a pro football team 😉

Why is it so hard for people to get this

he smoked pot ( if that was the drug) before the biggest test of his life. it could have been pain pills, or alcohol it doesnt matter

Stay clean to show teams you care about how you are treating this day they are giving you, you already failed that test once be smart and dont fuck it up 2 times

it was stupid, immature, selfish and shows me he doesnt give a shit about testing, he thinks he is better then anyone else..

that is if it is piot..

Now if it steriods, well he is even more of an idiot

That.... or next year half of the 1st round prospects are going to test positive for marijuana. :lol: Then it becomes less of an issue.

Maybe this will make it more clear?

clear enough?

Its not the fact that he smokes weed. Its that he did it while in preparation for a very important day in his life, one in which he knew he would be tested. Its a dumb move in which he may pay for financially.

I have absolutely nothing wrong with smoking weed. I dont care if he does it even - its the fact that he did it at this point in time. Just kinda dumb if you ask me.

Yeah its very dumb, but then again, NFL players do dumb things all the time. Packers weren't going to take Raji I don't think anyway, so this doesn't make a difference for us. I heard Raji the other day on the radio sounding a little less than enthused at the idea of being a nose tackle in the NFL. Oh well...

Really? His combine interview he said he would be happy to play NT for the Packers. Of course, he could have been baked out of his gourd at the time but... :lol:

I want a player that is going to use his effing brain before the biggest test of his life..

You dont care if he doesnt use his brain as long as he can tackle and beat up a center

:thumbleft: who cares how much common sense he has :thumbright:

That's pretty much it. If he can do his job on Sunday's and mature and I would probably make that decision after I talked to him, then yeah that's what it comes down too.

Remember, Randy Moss was passed on for several teams because of his stupid mistakes. The guy was a lock from the start to make big money in the pros and all he did was mess around. Tennessee took Kevin Dyson instead of him and Dallas passed on him as did the Packers. Worked out well for Minneosta. Two NFC Title Game appearances.

A couple two word analogy's..

Cletidus Hunt

Joe Johnson

No Thanks.

A two time positive test guy.. it isn't one mistake, a series of mistakes.. you can state all the play or potential you want, if the guy is a smoker before he has the money, most times he will be a smoker post riches.

Moss was using the entire time he was in MN, he just had enough money to skirt the program. IMO.

BTW... I don't think he fits Ted's Packer People mantra. :pottytrain2:

You can throw examples out for just about every single scenario there is in the NFL. Russel Maryland was a bust, Warren Sapp was pretty good and people passed on him because they didn't like his attitude.

It isn't about what some other player did in the past. It's about B.J. Raji. If he can't help the team, then he's not worth taking. If he can and I think he can, he's worth taking.

Of course it depends on what's on the board, but I'm not taking Raji off the board because GB could move down and if he's there at No. 21, he's awful tempting.

Would I take him at No. 9? Yeah, but it depends on what's all out there.

For the record, the last I checked, Ricky Williams was a damn good back in the NFL for several years. He admitted to cheating the program on several occasions as well.

Players are cheating right now too. Johnny Jolly probably isn't "Packer People" either, but he's on the team. My point is you can't take a guy and toss him off the board because of this report. GB needs to talk to him and then come to a conclusion.

At some point in time GM and teams have to say FUCK YOU to players that do not care

Players now have this in their heads...

A TEAM will still draft me, or still sign me

Zero2Cool (3h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (3h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (3h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (3h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (13h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (13h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (14h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (15h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (15h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (15h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (15h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (16h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (16h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (16h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (16h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (16h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (16h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (16h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (16h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (16h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (16h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (16h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (16h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (16h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (16h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (17h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (17h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (17h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
