say what you want, he's better than any of the aforementioned qbs and with a legit receiver he will only get better ... i'm not saying he's top 10 in the league, but fr where he was drafted he is the only "hit" at quarterback in recent years ...Originally Posted by Uter Zorker
you lost the argument right there, Baltimore is the only team that hit on their QB?!?! With Flacco? FLACCO?!?! Ravens would trade Flacco for any of those "bums" you listed in a heartbeat. Without hesitation...

That can't be true.
I really hope Dez beasts this year, his name has been dragged through the mud the last couple of weeks.
I agree with you JA I think Tebow is going in the 1st round too. NFLN has Scott Hanson outside his house waiting, so something must be up.
I know that in all likelihood that is true, but screw that, we should still take dude and really go all out. Getting Marshall alone doesn't jut make us viable thru the air, we still need more. Imagine Dez vs #2 corners, Bess in the slot, and Ronnie and Ricky outta the backfield.
Let me dream, quit pissin on it.

As harsh as it sounds, it is what it is.
Nobody wants a Charles Rogers.
These teams treat these guys like pieces of meat, and the players know that because there is a huge payday at the end if they play their cards right.
So is it a harsh question? In our world, yes. In their world, no. They play by a whole different set of rules.
I don't see anything wrong with the question, business is a cold *+* world especially when you start talking about 7+ figure salaries.

toine, here's the quote
With round one looming and concerns regarding his character still hovering, receiver Dez Bryant has sounded off for a final time as to the perception that any team that drafts him will be taking a major risk.
"It's crazy how I'm getting ripped up, and I just don't get it," Bryant tells Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "Before this started, I didn't know I was sucha 'bad guy.' I promise you, I didn't. When I hear these things -- I'mnot a hard worker, I'm not tough, I'm a diva -- I look at it likethey're talking about somebody else, because that's not me. . . . This is supposed to be a great moment for me. Trust me, it's not. But I try to stay positive for my mom and myyounger brother and sister. I don't want to ruin it for them."
Bryant won't be at the draft; he wasn't among the 19 players invited (two declined), and he thinks his absence is related to the concerns. "I'm not in New York because of what's been said about me, pure andsimple," Bryant said. "That's got to be it -- and that's ridiculous,man. But it's good; I'm fine. I'm not taking anything away from anyonein the draft, but I don't think anybody wants it more than me. When Iget drafted, I'll hug some people and celebrate for a minute -- but thenI'm going to go to work."
Bryant also said that at least one team asked him a question that crosses the line worse than any question we've ever heard. "They asked me if my mom's a prostitute," Bryant said. "No, my mom is not a prostitute. I got mad -- really mad -- but I didn't show it. I got alot of questions like that: Does she still do drugs? I sat and answeredall of them."
It's good that he didn't show his anger (and we respect him for that). Surely, the teams wanted to see how easily he'd get stirred up. And it appears that he handled himself well.
Still, the concerns remain. Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports has reported on a habit of tardiness. Though Bryant claimed he was ever only late to a single meeting, Silver's report confirms that the reports are true.
"He's got to have a better regard for time," Bryant mentor Deion Sanders told Silver. "He needs a Flavor Flav clock around his neck. That's what he needs." (Given his experience with the NCAA, Bryant also could have benefited from a Pinocchio nose.)
Though, as we've said in the past, Bryant could be an inspiration to kids with tough upbringings, teams remain concerned that he won't be reliable -- especially once he gets paid. And if he ends up being a bust, whoever picked him will be paying the price, possibly with his job.
This reality makes teams like the Bengals and Cowboys more likely to select Bryant; in Cincinnati and Dallas, the guy who makes the picks would be accountable only to himself.
#$%% all that "we wanna see if he'd get stirred up" jazz...you wanna ask tough questions, fine...but don't cross the line and be disrespectful. Some of these NFL heads get gassed thinking they're recruiting for the military or some !!$@...
Props to ol' boy for keeping his composure and not socking that @*$!* in his face.

I don't know how much money the Vikings/******** would have to engulf if this goes down, but it would be a great look.
Pat Williams is already falling off. There were times last year that he would play the same amount of downs as Jimmie Kennedy.

It's worse, they are going to invest millions of dollars into 21-24 year olds. It's "CYA".
Props to Bryant for keeping his composure. He just has a lot of red flags, and teams are going to dig, poke and prod.
You guys just don't get it.

That is crazy about what Dez was asked, I hope he uses this stuff for motivation later (unless he is in the AFC North). I think the Steelers go with Pouncey in round 1. Should be a solid, not sexy pick

So you would be "at home" playing and giving 110% to a team that asks if your mother is a prostitute or if she still does drugs?
That's not poking or prodding that's just **%%%*# despicable.

How is that despicable?
I see it as a perfectly fine question that an NFL team would ask a potential player.
They need to know EVERYTHING about a player. If his mothers situation can affect his mental state, then whats wrong about it? If im going to invest X amount of dollars in a player, I need to know where his mental state is.
You also dont know if they specifically said it like the article states. Thats Bryants quote so he could be spinning it. They might have asked it in a nicer way.

^Thanks for posting the info.
Some of these NFL execs really have a god complex.
I understand doing your due diligence on player since you're investing so much money into them, but to ask a player if his mother is a prostitute is downright reprehensible.

You're right...I don't get it.
I don't get how certain dudes would comply with these $**%%# sticking it up their *@! and letting it happen.
Maybe I don't get it 'cuz I'm not the type to bend over for the almighty dollar...

The team?
So its not possible that they asked the question in a better way, and all Bryant heard was "Is your mom a prostitute?" because he was mad that the question was even being asked? That doesnt seem like its possible?
Also, everything you hear from a player you take as truth?
