Ah yes the well known money pit known as weed addiction No, he’s an NFL player who was suspended repeatedly after being chewed up in an archaic system. Dude was a top talent who performed incredibly well and at every turn, the NFL failed him. He failed himself obviously but the nfls completely shameless actions towards that kid robbed us of a potential superstar. 2.5-3.5 million in cash ain’t poo poo spread across over 2-3 years in the NFL. especially when they’re performing at a top tier level - you have to assume you’ve got another 6-10 mil in cash coming your way (mostly because your agent keeps repeating it) and you got lost in the whole thing.

Rodgers talk is really interesting because he's undeniably super good but when you think of him playing his best do you really think of him winning a game basically by himself? Or digging out of a double-digit hole if his defense doesn't step up? I don't, really. Mahomes wins games basically by himself and I'll be surprised if that doesn't keep happening for years.

The 2015 Packers started 6-0. They played the Broncos (who also started 6-0) on a Sunday night and lost. That would also be the only game that season where Peyton looked like his old self.

NFL coaching is a very insular world that doesn't allow the most talented and brightest people to advance, despite what the league likes to claim.

He said his initial usage stemmed from social awkwardness, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and “adolescent trauma-based fear.” According to Gordon, the drugs helped “numb those nerves so [he could] just function every day.” When he was in seventh grade, Gordon said he took a “whole bar” of Xanax and ended up “nodding off” and “drooling” in class. He said his peers started laughing at him. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/11/28/josh-gordon-interview-cleveland-browns-nfl quote:He’s asking the football world not for a second chance but a ninth or 10th. He has been suspended by the NFL or by the Browns on five separate occasions since 2013, following failed tests for marijuana, codeine and alcohol.

It just looks like he hasn’t changed at all, that rollout 50 yards in the air is so nice. I know other QBs can do it too, especially Wilson Rodgers Wentz but I want it to be my QBs signature play
