Thanks Broncos for giving Skins at least something for Cravens. Not sure he was ever going to play again here.

I'm just happy they didn't give them their original asking price. IMO, Denver got a helluva deal and it looks like Cravens is actually excited to come play for Denver.

I sincerely hope Denver never has a bad FO like the Skins, or any of the other perennial dumpster fire teams out there, where players just don't like playing for them.

It blows my mind the (unproven by science) deflategate, 100% PRoven no one think it made nany difference in the game outcome.), or other LEGAL AT THE TIME rule like the tuck rule ad compare that to the NFL literally changing the rules before the game and very likely changing the outcome of the game.

This is the Equivalent if suddenly the NBA decided to give players 7 fouls during the game 7 finals but told no one until the after the game despite the face the game highed on those players being able to play with 6 fouls. OR if they suddenly instituted a 4 point line at 40 feet but told NO one until 2 guys made one during game 7,

EDit: or a better example: in game 7 the NBA asked the Refs nto to call fouls during the final 5 mins of games, with no rule change or informing anyone.

So the 49ers and Jed York have released a statement today, saying "They hope to have Reuben on the team this season." And would like him to "Avoid any future off the field issues". Which means they are not cutting him. They must have information as far as Fosters case is concerned, knowing the DA in (Alabama?) is willing to accept a guilty felony plea, which would result in him serving some type of house arrest/lengthy supervised probation plea, somewhere in the range of 3-5 years. (8-16 months house arrest, would still be able to play and go to facility).

If Reuben pays 900,000$ for a lawyer he might get no house arrest and just stringent parole and then probation that would be somewhere in the 4 year range, with 2 years parole and 2 supervised probation. And thats if the assault weapon charge sticks and his defense cant find some type of loophole or corrupted actor within the justice system.

So the Niners are probably looking at 6 games suspension. When he comes back he will have achieved his final form, having beaten a white woman as a powerful black NFL linebacker, able to obtain numbers unseen since a young Patrick Willis.

Our FO has been a little better in recent years, Cousins situation (or non situation depending on how much he ever really wanted to stay) aside.

Cravens had plenty of his own issues though, wanting to retire while dealing with family issues, unsure if he wanted to come back.

Honestly, I don't think it's a huge deal considering the new catch rule makes much more sense and is much easier to understand/confirm. So long as they're all playing by the same rules it seems like a nonfactor. It's not like players are really trying to do something different based on the crazy catch rule, they were still trying to catch the ball the same as before.

Also, it's an unwritten rule that no flags are thrown on the final play of the game whether it's offense or defense. Crabtree got mugged in that Superbowl loss. I've seen teams hold, receivers push off, ridiculously egregious defensive mugging of receivers and everything else happen on the final play of the game without any flags being thrown. Teams mostly know that now and they know most anything goes on the last play, GO OUT AND EARN IT.

2018 NFL Draft QB prospect Wonderlic Scores:
1. Josh Allen Wyoming – 37
2. Josh Rosen UCLA – 29
3. Sam Darnold USC – 28
4. Baker Mayfield OU – 25
5. Lamar Jackson Louisville – 13

I saw someone like Bucky Brooks predicting the Saints taking Lamar Jackson at 27, no fucking way with a wonderlic of 13. QB is a position where the player actually does need to be really smart to learn to digest defenses, know the system and know how to run it well.

Unless it's the Lions.

Ameraves is the only person that even addressed your post. Typical Pats fan. Delusions of grandeur.
