Buzz my ass... be long gone before 15
Yeah, there's still a lot of jockeying that's going to happen over the next few weeks. Everything is 'buzz' today. Heck, what happens if/when the Pats move up with their picks. And Buffalo could still move up. Lots of moving parts still.

This is the time of year everyone gets their "I predicted this...." article out.

April is Liar’s Month in the NFL.

Be skeptical about everything you hear.

Dose of reality: Allen isn't dropping - he's the same guy (good points and bad).

It's Yahoo and other dudes who are changing their minds.

Not sure about all of them, but the "why you so white? If it aint white, it aint right" line is a quote from the show Modern Family. Someone on a Browns board said they are all quotes from movies and shows.

It seems like they're out of context at the very least.

Why wouldn't his agent go through his social media past and clean up anything dumb that may have been said? That should be one of the first things they do after signing someone who could be taken near the top of round one.

Lol at the Lebron tweet. Is Yahoo serious with this?

He’s much smarter than Josh Allen, IIRC.

You guys are worried about what he wrote in Jr High and High School?

Did you suddenly become a leader of men when you turned 21? Were you suddenly a learned person who was hugely removed from five years before, and the kind of things you'd put out publicly? This is an issue that will probably cost him millions of dollars.

When I came out of ASU 10 years ago, I had things written, or pictures posted, that were much more mild than this, and I had to learn the hard lesson that I couldn't get a full time job because of my social media presence, much less be the face of an NFL franchise. This is a lot worse, in the current environment, where a Northwest white guy is gonna struggle to inspire the teammates that are older around him, much less much more socially active younger people of color.

This is a significant incident.

But, the LeBron thing is stupid. Yahoo is falling apart at the seams on all levels. You still can't hide these tweets as being a legitimate issue.

a) did you watch the clip from Modern Family? That's not the quote. There's nothing in that clip with "why you so white".

b) and they just all happen to be offensive?

that's context in of itself.

Whether it should be held against him or not it will impact where he is taken. The guy has a cannon arm. If he fell to us I would still take him. Wouldn't trade up for him though.
