Kiper: Calloway is 1st round talent, tests + for weed

[MJMGator]

So it’s our fault???

Apparently.

Hey Calloway, if you hadn't been such a dumb @ss, you'd be in the NFL by now.

Good luck as an unsigned free agent.

I kind of addressed this in the post that followed. But again, no, I'm not singling out any one particular factor in all of this. At the end of the day AC is old enough to make, and be held accountable for, his own decisions. But between being raised in a toxic environment, having too few good role models, and society basically accepting and glorifying people who openly talk about drug use, drug sales, violence and gang life, I think there are certain sectors that are behind the eight ball from day one.

But to be clear, my "we are confusing them" comment was more of a general statement. I think there is tremendous irony in bashing an 18-21 year old for smoking weed and being forced to miss homecoming, while at the same time supporting a guy who's made a career out of brazen illegal activity. The title from the article in the Alligator was "Snoop Lights Up the Joint at Gator Growl". Praising one person(an adult no less), and criticizing a 20 year old for walking in his footsteps, is--to me at least--both confusing and a bit hypocritical. If you disagree, that's fine.

Everybody has smoked pot at some point, like drinking beer, wine, booze.

Everybody?

Despite all his character issues, he still lands in 4th round (albeit to the Browns). Just goes to show, if you have the talent, you’ll be given plenty of slack. Likely Calloway will never learn from his mistakes, although I know he’s talented enough to make an impact in the NFL, he’ll never be smart enough to stay out of trouble to have any kind of lengthy career there. I really think he’d still been available in the 6th round, maybe Josh Gordon will be his mentor. Lol

Or if you have teams as stupid as Cleveland. Now if he gets restrained to doing only the right things he might have a career. I am available to over see his life and investments for a reasonable 10%. He would have to do as I say which is basically impossible.

We knew all along it would be some perennial loser like Browns Bengals, Raiders or Gags.

Please come up with some new material. You’re approaching Crete status.

Callaway will have a chance to shine in that snappy Browns offense.

Well, not everybody.....

 

[oxrageous]

I've never smoked pot, or even a cigarette.

That’s why you’re not in the NFL.

 

[oxrageous]

As usual, the GCMB is dead-on right, nailing the proper round in the poll.

They just didn't inhale..

I didn’t put it to my lips, either.
