Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[MattR11]

I have chronic back pain, will always have it. And I refuse to take opiates for any term other than emergencies, a week or less. Surgery is coming but the doctors have warned me this will be a structural fix and may reduce pain but the recovery will be long and I need to think about long term pain management while rehabbing. I know nothing about Kratom, tell me what you know. I'm considering marijuana as my employer does not test for it unless there's is some accident. I manage operations at my location and can avoid any machinery.

I will tell you more tomorrow when i have more time to type it up, I'm turning in for the night now. Kratom can be a great alternative though, sounds like you're in similar shoes to mine. It's helped me and many others a lot. Its way less mind altering than marijuana as well.

Knew he was a punk when…

#95 is one of their punks too. Go figure.

Mayfield gives you the same pulse as Tannehill. Any pulse is bad. A team will never get the top draft pick it needs going that route.

I think he’s better. Titans need more than a QB, but somebody with a pulse needs to take the snaps while you build. Wait to build a winning culture and you’ll never stop.

 

[SmokinBob]

see any cool stuff?

 

[GVol1966]

This is soooooooo true!!

Nah. He’s the NFL version of Kiffen.
He gets linked to 8-10 NFL jobs every year

How does mayfield give you more of a pulse? Tannehill had a much better season than Baker this season.

 

[ACvol3]

Yeah my doc tells me that there’s no shame in being on it for life, but I think there is. All it does is prolong the inevitable. It’s a good tool to ween off, but they won’t make any money that way.

I’ve been weening myself off, he still gives me 16mg a day. I have a backstock of maybe thousands of strips. It’s insane.

That’s crazy.. my doc weened me down, but would always ask if I was ready. I don’t remember the exact mg, but once you’re so low, you’re basically off of it. You could quit physically and be fine. At that point it’s all mental

IMO…CURRENTLY? Mayfield has a pulse and Tannehill is tired and done. It’s how you end it.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What's it like? Caffeine or nicotine?

More like Caffeine than Nicotine, which is really really hard to stop taking. Caffeine is "uncomfortable" for a few days to stop taking, but it's nothing like the withdrawals from Nicotine.

Currently….. he has completed 53% of passes 139 yds per game with 0 TDs and 1 int in his last two games….. that is barely better than being injured.
Tannehill’s last five games he played…. QB rating is better than Mayfield’s last five game stretch…. By any metric…. Tannehill is the better qb unless he just can’t come back from his injuries.

All things equal…scratch that. Situations have never been equal. A loaded team with full coaching and ownership support? Tannehill has had the benefit of such. Mayfield played badly in that mess in Carolina, got released and a totally imploded Rams outfit signs and starts him in a matter of days…and they win. Not touting him as some savior, but look at valid comparisons. Good news for you, I doubt they go that route, so your boy gets thrown out there to wring out the last ounces of his inflated contract. In a league where Nate Peterman can spot start games, Mayfield can find a backup gig and hope to replicate the Geno Smith story.

I have had patients prefer Kratom. It’s a “natural pain medicine.”

The one thing that I would caution you about is that people have died mixing Kratom and narcotics. We (as a group) make our patients choose because of that. No condemnation, but we can’t prescribe the opiate medication if you also are taking Kratom due to the potential for a deadly combination…

As far as marijuana goes, it’s the same in that we have to make people choose. Since the Federal Government requires periodic urine drug screens, and it is still illegal in Texas, we have no choice but to terminate the opiate agreement with repeated positive tests for THC. I don’t care, but won’t lose my license for anyone.
If you’re having a procedure that requires anesthesia, please let the anesthesia personnel know that you use either Kratom or marijuana. It can change the anesthesia medication that they choose for you.

Not trying to scare you away from either, just look into the ramifications of anything that you decide to try.

My boy? I don’t have a boy and if I did it would be Kenny Pickett….. I’m a Steelers fan….. Thanks for the 32nd pick in the draft by the way…… Baker Mayfield went 2-3 with the Rams with 2 wins against teams with a combined 11-23 record….. The rams had been struggling due to injuries and having to start such great QBs as Bryce Perkins and John Wolford. I do agree with you that Tannehill is overpaid though but I understand that is the hardest decision in football.

I hate the narrative of “if you transfer out you’re not a VFL” there are so many other reasons to transfer out than money or playing time, heck if it was playing time who could blame the player for doing whats best for their career? You dont work your whole life just to ride the bench in college, and sometimes the player is processed

To me, whether or not a player who transfers out of UT is a VFL completely depends on the player. If they remain supportive of and positive toward TN, they are a VFL.
If they don't, then they obviously are not a VFL.

I agree 100%….

Sources: Broncos currently plan to draft Darnell Wright with their 1st rd pick and trade up into the 2nd round to get Hendon Hooker if he falls late into the 2nd.

My source knows a guy in the Broncos org. Idk how. Seems like a lot could happen and I think Wright will go before they get to the Broncos pick (Broncos have 49ers pick).

I mistook your impassioned arguments for partisanship. They’re both slaw. Just feel there’s more in the tank for Mayfield. Economics most likely dictate Tannehill another meh season. You’re welcome for the 32nd pick. Hope it’s as great as you guys have built up in your collective minds. First pick overall may net us enough to compensate for the generational player you’ll select with it.

@VolsDoc81TX i need to ask you a question. If memory serves, your email is jkay@arlingtonortho.com. Is that correct?

@VolsDoc81TX
Bump. Don’t want to put my question in the open chat.

 

[Vols4us]

I think he’s better. Titans need more than a QB, but somebody with a pulse needs to take the snaps while you build. Wait to build a winning culture and you’ll never stop.

I think the Titans signing Mayfield as the transition QB would be a very good move. It's hard to fathom how people cannot see that he was with the Browns and Panthers orgs - places that QBs go to die. A 2-4 year run in Nashville with a developmental draft pick in the 2nd or 3rd this year or next allows the team the ability to pay the D players and sign a real O-line. They can draft the speed WR. It's time to trade Henry for picks if anybody will give a decent deal. He's gone after next season if they don't.

The Titans have zero on O. Zero. Having Henry and nothing else is like having nothing at all since it is so one dimensional Ds can scheme to shut it down. A bad O-line with no deep threat at WR even with OK QB play means losing 7 games in a row even with a good defense.

Quay Walker is a stain. This isn’t the first time he’s gotten in a cheap shot on someone that’s not an opponent.

No impassioned argument at all…. Just discussing football…. We have one generational player on our roster and that is TJ Watt taken at number 30….. one of the next closest is Cam Hayward who was taken at 31…. I’m very excited about having 4 picks in the top 80…. Hopefully, we make the right choices and bring in the right OC…. We are very close to being a Super Bowl contender again if we don’t blow it.
