Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Less than a week until draft day. Thank the football gods! An exploding thread on the media (and forum) trial of a potential draft choice. The NFL can be outsmarted by a half gallon of water? Really? If he's up to something other than just plain stupidity, the important folks who actually do the drafting will know in time. I'm sure we all know by now that football IQ is quite different than common sense.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Its not being outsmarted.
Its that you drink so much water that the testers cannot get a result. They should just take a blood sample at the combine. Saves hassle and makes it harder to mask/water down tests

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Where are the links for all of this? All I can find on the sports sites are eighty to ninety articles on some murderous wanna be gangster who committed suicide.

There's no way he slides to 32. I doubt he slides at all.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

I would take him at 31 in a heartbeat. Someone will get him around 15

ROLL TIDE

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

The only problem with that plan is that neither is going to be avilable in the slots you propose. Adams will get picked in the top 5. If we allow foster to slide at 11, he'll be gone by 32.

Best that you can hope for is that someone wants to jump up to 11 ahead of Cleveland and Arizona, fall back a few slots and pick up Foster and another pick, I would posit.

That's why Collins fell in our lap right? I'll be shocked is this FO takes someone with character flaws.

NO is a different city. It was said that had Matthieu came here he probably would not be clean because he was too close to home and PP kept hin in line.

Haven't had as good of a udfa class since Ireland joined. That's his weakness.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

What pre-workouts? Btw I heard pre-workouts are not good for you anyway and it's not necessary. A psychology professor said this.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Foster is using an UFC talent agency FRM (First Round Management) and some wannabe Joe Schmoe named Malki Kawa out of Miami?

Then again, so is OT Denver Kirkland (UDRFA) and CB LaDarius Gunter (UDRFA), already in the NFL; and 2017 prospects TE David Njoku, CB Jalen Tabor, SS Josh Jones, FS Xavier Woods, RB Brandon Radcliff, DE Standish Dobard...

Curious to see if the agency affects some of these folks' draft position; Reuben agent is did not choose wisely in his agent...

And what's up with Foster's twitter handle? FerrariFoster? WTF is that about?

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

This is probably not as funny to others as it is to me right now, but I couldn't help but notice that this thread was started on 4/20 and we are talking about a guy possibly smoking pot and trying to cover it up.

As far as the football side of whether he'd be worth the risk, I'd have to say he's not worth it for a high pick. I'm all for second chances and all that good stuff. But we've seen way too many talented athletes get busted for pot, and then they get busted again, and again, and again. It's one thing to talk about character issues, but if you're addicted to any sort of banned substance, you are a high risk of being out of the league in a couple of years. I couldn't take that gamble in the first 3 rounds.

You guys know that there are liquids you can consume to flush away traces of THC from your body in 48 hours?!

I've got personal experience from my misguided youth that those products work, at least on the standard urine test.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

We don't need a basket case on the team. We released JG because the writing was on the wall after he signed a huge contract. Don't make the same mistake on a guy if you can avoid the headache. Let him go to Oakland or Dallas. They seem to love thugs.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

To go from drinking a bunch of water MAYBE trying to cover something up to thug is a bit of a walk. Graham needed to be gone because Drew forgot to throw to anybody else when he was on the field.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

True. But Burningmetal has a point. It's not that pot is that big of a deal. It's the poor decision making and untimeliness of the decision if he did use a banned substance. It shows that he has maturity issues and if he's already making those decisions, it's a gamble.

I'm not saying the guy isn't a good LB. But if falls to us and is drafted, I hope they do their homework on him.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

I know I'm probably dreaming, but I'm gonna go with they are doing their homework on everybody. As it's an LB we're talking about, I'm sure Nolan's gonna do a colonoscopy on the kid first and he's going to get whoever he wants the most and thinks will be the best. And that he'll get the most out of that whoever.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

They caught on to that and test for trace element now

sounds like he used my old trick. case of beer, a gallon of water, pot of coffee and then the cup. :p

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Foster would be ideal here if we didn't already have Mark Ingram. McCaffrey would be a better fit.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

I heard he tackles too much with his head...:)

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

I started this thread and was reacting to hearing about his screwup. But. I just went back and saw he's his highlights and man this guy is a tackling cruise missile.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

I can't give up on the guy either lol. He'll probably end up being Rolando McClain but damn I want to see him hit some Failclowns so bad!

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

In practical terms, it is not really "a stupid mistake". The harsh reality of professional sports, everyone is on something. Not being on something puts any competing athlete at a disadvantage, "something" being steroids to make them stronger or heal faster, or substances so they can run a 40 with that mildly sprained ankle without feeling pain and slowing them down.

People say "how can they risk millions by taking stuff?"
Those who are in that position, think "how can I risk millions by NOT taking stuff?"

What you hear in the news about teams being wary or cautious of players who failed tests, it is mostly lip service for the media and the fans.

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

Especially with just a diluted sample. He's not the only big name in the draft that had that happen this year. The NFL can easily work around that and they'll find out the truth whether it's the truth or not!

Re: It's offical R Foster is a turd
 

This is good news for RF fans like me. Hopefully he drops out of the top 10 and is there at 11 for us
