some brilliant humor in this thread!

I think everyone is overlooking White is Right’s “room-brightening smile.” That’s the true meaning behind his handle. That alone should get him in the Hall.

O line news: Bills T Trey Adams retires after one year (on the practice squad). I guess injuries really caught up to him, what a shame. Was a potential top 10 pick before everything fell apart. Hope he had a good plan B in place, and hope he lives the rest of his life as pain-free as possible. Sad reality that affects many great talents. Would love to see them draft Spencer Brown from UNI. Word is the Ravens love him do not want him on that vile squad.
Bills also signed Forrest Lamp. Should compete for LG. They already have Ike Boettger who did great there so questionable move to me. Would have preferred he go to the Vikings (mutual interest), Bengals (still need help) or Falcons (need a LG to complete a snowplow) better than a black quarterback team. Feliciano (half Sicilian, half Puerto Rican; I support him as I view him as faaaar more of the former) back at RG (presumably). Could also be insurance in case Mitch Morse is hurt (long concussion history, could be his last year playing). Anyhow I think it hurts sumo bust Cody Ford’s playing chances so that’s good.

Take this for what it's worth. I think Gase was a terrible HC option and the Jets set up Darnold for failure from the get go both with the coaching and personnel they surrounded Darnold with. I'll be the first to admit I defended Gase during his Miami tenure but after seeing him really hurt Darnold's development as a QB he's a bad coach. I watched probably 75% of Darnold's USC games and feel that the issues with the Jets were not of his doing. It's a tough pill to swallow that he is now under Matt Rhule but at least he is paired with McCaffery.

Ex-Jets C Ryan Kalil believes new Panthers QB Sam Darnold did not have enough freedom playing under ex-Jets coach Adam Gase.
Kalil, who is now retired, was one of Darnold's centers in 2019. “It was a system that didn’t allow a lot of individual freedom. It was very, ‘You do it this way and that’s it,’” Kalil said. “A lot of the scheme was pre-determined (plays) based on what they thought they were seeing from the sideline. It didn’t give Sam a lot of room to grow, in my opinion, to make decisions on the fly. ... It wasn’t a system that allowed him to evolve and make decisions on his own. ... And I think that’s why ultimately the Jets made some (coaching) changes, too.” It's a charitable reading of Darnold's struggles in New York, as Gase was not the coach for Darnold's rough rookie year in 2018. Darnold showed modest improvement under Gase in 2019 before going off the rails in 2020. Something that is not up for debate is that Panthers OC Joe Brady will be by far the best coach to ever call plays for Darnold. The quarterback's supporting cast is also better than any he had in the Big Apple. 2021 is now or never for the former No. 3 overall pick.

With Darnold, McCaffrey and Dan Arnold I'm not going to write off the Panthers just yet. A fair amount of folks here rooted for Carolina when they had McCaffrey, Olsen and Kuechly and almost nothing else.

As of now they also have two White starters projected on the o-line and Morgan Fox should play a lot on the defensive front. They also have Mike Panasiuk out of Michigan State as a backup defensive tackle. If they have a decent draft they could be middle of the pack demographically this season. But in any event I'll be rooting hard for Darnold, who has the talent to be a very solid starting QB in the NFL if given decent coaching and surrounding talent. Hopefully he's the next White QB "reclamation project" who will "shock the world," the world of DWFs and hive mind media drones that is.

 

[Westside]

Some of the top plays of Edelman’s career show his versatility and why he was so dangerous. I really enjoyed watching him compete and he provided us all with some awesome memories.

I hope Julian can ride off into retirement and enjoy a quite life. He needs to ditch the SJW rabbi shtick or otherwise we’ll eventually loathe him like another former great, Crissy Collinsworth(less).

Julian is and was an All Time Money Player. He and the NE brought me so many great memories against the abhorrent caste system. Thanks Julian!!!

 

[Extra Point]

Mitch Trubisky played better than Sam Darnold yet there was little interest in him. Darnold gets traded for draft picks.

I'm not putting down trading draft picks for Darnold. I just think the NFL is drastically undervaluing Trubisky.

The mainstream media did a hatchet job on Trubisky. They destroyed his value in the eyes of the NFL.

Trubisky got screwed by his 5th year option, he had to earn apx. 25 million this year and the Bears deemed him not worth that money. There is no scout that would view the Dalton we saw last season as better than Trubisky.

 

[Snowplow]

That’s exactly what they’re saying. DuhShaun is their golden boy, he’s supposed to be the face of this new wave of black quarterbacks. Of course the media pulls out all their stops to make sure he’s golden and one of the faces of the league. Trubisky can still develop, but he’s been treated far worse than Darnold. Meanwhile they’re also trying to keep Jameis INT-ston afloat and he’s clearly not it.

Re: Edelman- with his retirement much of the caste busting Pats dynasty is gone. Amendola, however, hasn’t officially retired, and all reports say he intends to play in 2021. Would like to see him re-sign with the Lions. Interest is mutual, apparently, and Goff could really use him.

 

[Leonardfan]

The Browns signed him to a 3 year 36 million dollar deal in 2019...unreal. I wouldn't call Richardson a bust but he was certainly overdrafted considering he was the 13th pick of the 2013 draft.

Browns released DT Sheldon Richardson.
It was an easy decision following the addition of Jadeveon Clowney since Richardson was due $12 million this year. Although Malik Jackson and Andrew Billings are still available as depth, it's not out the question Cleveland bolsters its d-line further through the draft, and perhaps as early as the No. 26 overall pick. Richardson should land elsewhere as a rotational run-stuffer following draft weekend

Virtue signaling, boomer cuck, defender of the caste system Peter King pontificating about Carson Wentz. He views Hurts as some sort of long term viable QB solution too...gotta get as many black QBs to replace the white ones right Peter? Just like you and your ilk did for every other position.

https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2021/04/16/carson-wentz-peter-king-mind-boggled/

“I probably blame Carson Wentz more for the Carson Wentz thing than I blame the Eagles,” King said on the Eagle Eye podcast with Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro. “I do blame Carson Wentz more….Carson Wentz saw that his team had taken a quarterback with the 53rd pick in the draft, and I think I’m probably the only person in the media who loved the pick, because in my opinion, if you can’t be sure that Carson Wentz is going to play the full year, you don’t want to have to rely on Nate Sudfeld to play six or eight games for you to get you into the playoffs. You want a good backup quarterback who can play and win games for you.”

“I’m honestly mind-boggled by the reaction of Carson Wentz,” “This is the big-boy league. You’ve got to understand that the best part of ability is availability, and if you’re not there or might not be there, that team has to buy insurance for if you’re not there. I believe – and one of the reasons why I thought Jalen Hurts was a good pick – that the backup quarterback is one of the most important people on your team. Because you better be sure that if your starting quarterback gets hurt, your season isn’t over.”

Congrats to him on a very nice career. Great comeback but he is doing the smart thing to get out while healthy. He would have won that Super Bowl for the Niners. He was screwed over!

I agree....Harbaugh went new school hipster and tried to be woke..
Just like at Michigan, head scratching decision making....
Smith ended up with respect league wide and a basket full of cash.....

 

[Don Wassall]

Harbaugh was always down with the Caste System. When he was at Stanford he was dealing with a different program, primarily because it's much more difficult for "student-athletes" to be admitted, including football players and he had a lot of good football players to work with there. Harbaugh was a hyperactive clown when he was with the 49ers after he left Stanford, seeming almost insane at times, so I'm not surprised by what he's done at Michigan.

"Like"

I'll be the first to admit I thought that Harbaugh was going to buck the system after his success at Stanford but as Don stated he quickly discarded the model for success once he made the jump to the NFL and now at Michigan. Any respect or hope that I had for him to be "white friendly" went out the door along time ago.

Congrats to Alex Smith on a steady, solid career especially after the bumpy start under caste clown Mike Nolan in San Fran (followed by the Mike Singletary debacle).

Yes, Stanford the military institutes and other high academic schools have to recruit an old fashion student athlete and coaches know that so Stanford was going to have a different racial composition than Thug U or Bama or other football factories.

We have seen Duke basketball go off the reservation and start recruiting 1 and done guys in basketball, coaches it seems just want to win. You will find a few that know they have no realistic shot at winning that won't go the mercenary route but that's about it.

As for Smith he had an excellent career that if he stuck to one team could easily be a ring of honor career, there is no shame and not making the hall of fame and doing what he did and making the comeback he did.

Yes he would have. Harbaugh was praised for starting Kaepernick over Harbaugh, In fact it was a dumb move.

Kaepernick choked in the Super Bowl. If Harbaugh had started Smith the 49ers would likely have won.

The sub title is of course BS, group think is the only think found acceptable, those found outside of group think are ostracized. America is about the most feminized society outside of mythical Lesbos and conformity to the herd or else is the rule of the day.

FTR I agree with King on the backup QB and FTR my idea of an acceptable backup would probably be a one read, done, run if the man had wheels which at the time might have included that scum Kapernick.

I'm reading an article called "Is Adam Thielen Entering His Last Season With the Vikings?" and the article agrees with the consensus I've been seeing repeatedly this offseason that because Thielen is 30 going on 31 he's about to fall off a cliff in terms of production, as many Black receivers do at that age. Then I skim to the comments; there's only six, but this is how one idiot -- who doesn't even know how to spell his name -- "defends" Thielen:

"Theilen [sic] is the kind of reciever .. let’s just be honest, he’s white... he doesn’t use athleticism to get open, he uses his route tree and solid hands.... So his athleticism isn’t going to disappear and make him a second rate player, he should be pretty good for a few more years but, I could also see the Vikings straight up swapping him for Orlando Brown JR this off-season, drafting trey smith and Rashod Bateman... who wouldn’t take that return for trading Theilen [sic]?"

Blatant racism and stupidity is fine as long as it only goes in one direction. God, White people have been so dumbed down. https://thevikingage.com/2021/04/20/adam-thielen-last-season-minnesota-vikings/

 

[TwentyTwo]

Some of these feeble White people (dwf's; journalist ; so called experts) that dis players like Thielen were the ones that got picked on in HS PE class. Typically sat out on the side ; while the real athletes participated ; their own insecurities come out now as adults and make them feel better about themselves when they hate on Whitey. They think No way Whitey can be athletic if we were not.

 

[Warhawk_46]

Never mind that Adam runs as fast in the 40 as Terrell Owens (and faster than Antonio Brown and Larry Fitzgerald, and countless others) or that his shuttle times are superior...

Idiot, racists cucks...

Jason La Canfora, who is one of the biggest anti-white cuckold journalists at CBS Sports, writes this flattering article about Citadel's Raleigh Webb out of nowhere for the website's front page:

2021 NFL Draft: This Citadel football and track star doesn't need the NFL in 2021 but teams sure could use him

If you were looking for a comp for Citadel wide receiver Raleigh Webb, from a purely physical standpoint, it might be Carolina Panthers superstar running back Christian McCaffrey.

Webb is 6-foot-2, chiseled, carrying about 212 pounds easily and running a 40 in the 4.4s. He has elite track speed despite never having a true speed coach, and, playing in an option offense in which targets were in very short supply (The Citadel attempted just three passes in one of the final games of a quirky spring season), he is a very willing and able blocker in the run game. Physicality is not a problem, he has great hands, runs good routes and is as smart as they come -- he is already working on a second master's degree, which would be his fourth degree overall.

And if teams are doing their homework -- despite there being no combine and Webb playing lower-level football -- one of them will give this young man a call a week from Saturday and a shot at the next level. Because everything in Webb's make-up and history and growth mindset portends the ability to play in the NFL at some point.

"I definitely do think I can," Webb immediately responded when asked he believed he could play on Sundays. "I watch the NFL a decent amount and we had season tickets for the Falcons since was I younger and it's always interested me. I see kids a lot smaller than the normal NFL player, and they are doing it and playing at a high level. I know they are extraordinarily good athletes, but I feel like if you put your mind to it, you can achieve that goal and achieve what you want to accomplish."

I wouldn't bet against this young man. He was a very accomplished swimmer as well, and could have been a collegiate standout in that sport had he stuck with it. But football became more of a calling -- Webb was actually a center and the smallest kid on most of his teams in the youth ranks -- and he opted to make that his full-time pursuit (while running track at The Citadel in the spring to stay in shape).

Ken Ruinard/USA TODAY Sports
"It came to point where I liked the team aspect of football more than I liked the individual aspect of swimming," Webb told me. "That made me make the decision to continue to play football. I love both, and both are extremely hard sports, very physically taxing for sure, but I liked having a team and relying on my teammates to achieve something together."

Webb was recruited as a defensive back and figured he would be playing safety as a freshman in 2017 … but that changed as soon as the coaching staff starting doing training and timing players. "The coaches said, 'Hey you are too fast for safety; you're going to play receiver," Webb recounted.

That wasn't exactly an invitation to glory, however. No diva receivers on this team. Not in this offense. Webb would catch just 77 balls in his college career to this point (he still has eligibility in the fall), with 30 of them coming in a 2019 season in which he also snagged 10 touchdowns (his 2019 tape -- limited as it is -- should have some teams licking their chops about what might come with more opportunities to exploit defenses deep in a robust passing attack).

The other three seasons he barely averaged a catch per game, and in his senior season (their 2020 fall season was cut short after four games and the season competed from February to April) the Bulldogs attempted just 116 passes (with suspect quarterback play), while running a whopping 721 times for 3,225 yards over 12 games (2-10).

All of which begs the question -- with NCAA rules altered in the pandemic, this offense not kind to receivers and opportunities to transfer to a school that could showcase Webb's skillset available, why stay there?

"Even some teammates and a few coaches and even some family members and friends asked me about it," Webb said of transferring. "But you've got to know where your loyalty lies, and what you are looking for and things of that nature. And my biggest thing is -- we built a family here at The Citadel, and we built a bond that you can't build in eight month or half a year someplace else."

Webb, whose father was an entrepreneur in Georgia, has a vest for knowledge and a passion for business -- the wideout already has an MBA and two undergrad degrees. His academic pursuits were another reason to stay at school, and he ended up completing his undergrad pursuits in three years, then his MBA. And once COVID-19 impacted the football season, Webb found out he had to pick up another certificate to be eligible to play, so now he is pursuing a Master's degree in Leadership, too.

By choosing not to opt out of the just-completed spring season, Webb remained eligible for selection in the upcoming draft, and also has the ability to return to school in the fall to play another year of football and work on that degree. Some agents have reached out to Webb, seeking to represent him if he does have an NFL future, but Webb said he has not had much contact directly from NFL teams (his season just ended last weekend). He finished with 17 catches (no other Bulldog had more than seven) for 282 yards (no one else cracked 100 receiving yards on the season) and four touchdowns, averaging 17 yards a catch and adding explosive runs against VMI and South Florida when given the chance to flourish in the run game.

It may be more likely that some organizations target him as an undrafted free agent, but Webb has more leverage than normal given that returning to school, playing a normal fall season and then harnessing his athletic abilities ahead of a combine and 2022 pro day might also put him in better stead for a pro career.

Adam Hagy-USA TODAY Sports
"Signing like that definitely would be appealing," Webb said, "but I would have to see that specific opportunity and see if it's greater than pursuing another Master's degree. And if it is, then that is definitely something that I would look into once that opportunity presented itself."

Indeed, it's always good to have options, and with a 2020 season that began all the way back in August finally complete, Webb is trying to exhale a bit and enjoy wherever this process goes next. He is excited to see what next weekend might bring in terms of NFL opportunities, and embracing the chance to continue to grow whether he lands in a rookie camp next month, or not.
"I can only benefit from it, to be honest," Webb said. "If nothing happens, and I don't get picked up by anyone or anything like that, then I still have football to play in the fall. I'm not giving up football either way, so I guess you could say I pretty excited either way. That's the way I look at it. I can only benefit from it."

This is pleasant fluff and a significant endorsement on the part of the author. However, it begs a couple of questions right off the bat. First, if Raleigh Webb has always been "too fast to play safety," why did the coaching staff convert him into a full-time blocker for their option offense? And more importantly, if Webb's athletic profile resembles Christian McCaffrey, why is he projected as an undrafted training camp body, with few NFL teams bothering to contact him?

Thanks for sharing. If he was too fast for safety why not move him to CB? Or were his hips not “oily enough”? Perhaps he can get lucky like Dan Chisena. I’ll be keeping an eye out for him.

The lazy eyed LaCanfora is one of the biggest cuck journalists out there. He could of taken the opportunity to address the elephant in the room regarding Webb but as usual ignores it completely.
