Gotta be a few of you out there that will dig this like me. Love the show, and it's only one where I don't fast forward thru the opening score. In fact, hearing the fusion of classical and hip hop pulled me into it. Plus Brian Cox is an outstanding actor

Not sure what you mean…but it seems like you are comparing one of the best gymnasts of all time with a no name WR who hasn’t accomplished anything…

Hurd is a guy who has barely played, hasn’t helped his team win a game yet saying he just doesn’t feel right and the team is thinking maybe it isn’t worth keeping him.

If this was Jerry Rice, 49er fans would have given him all the time he needs….as he has proven himself over and over and if he says he doesn’t feel well, he must mean it.

So mental health is only taken seriously if you're a star athlete? Got it.

I'm sure I've heard this dilemma addressed before; about how players that are a potential to not make the roster will cover up or ignore injuries because if they addressed them they would likely not make the roster. I'm sure that's fantastic for Jalen Hurd's mental health. "Ignore your mental health issues because we can just cut you."

It's time for us to have one of those "out-of-nowhere" seasons, like East Carolina or Coastal Carolina had recently. Harder for us to do, because of league competition, but we're due.

The stars may be lining up for it this year. New coaches, new AD, new system, fresh faces in the starting line-up with under-the-radar talent, everyone looking past us, determined program and belief that it's possible.

Count me in. It's nice to have well founded hope for a change. The sales of false hope have BVS'd this fanbase into too much negativity. Not our fault - that's on previous UT leadership. But it is time to heal and enjoy the journey again. All of the factors you point out indicate good times ahead if we remain patient and focus on the prize.

On the other hand, is it right that someone can just claim mental health while his or her peers worked their butt off, show consistency, actually contribute and still get selected over said peers? No its not. That's true with any department of any industry. Jalen Hurd isn't pulling his weight and the guy behind him or next to him can pull the weight. It is what it is. "mental health" doesn't give anyone a free pass to anything. You need time off? Take it but don't have expectations that the world put itself on pause for you.

The car market is crazy. I bought a Jeep Wrangler last June and I’m selling it at a different dealership and getting just under 1k more I paid for it. So basically I drove it for a year and put nearly 20k miles on it and getting paid cash money homey.

Yes, the same thing happened to me two weeks ago--- the dealership called me and asked if they could buy my wife's SUV because they can't keep any in stock and didn't have any used... they paid me more than it was worth as well... crazy times...

You either produce or you don’t…. This is probably Hurds last attempt at being an NFL player.

No it's not right, I totally agree. Just pointed out a double standard, and the counterpoint was "Jalen Hurd isn't Jerry Rice/Simone Biles.". I don't give any of them a pass. Mental health is important but quitting is also quitting. Mental health is not the same as breaking your leg.
