The great big Blackmon thread (merged)
|
He has been out of football a long time. I don't know.... I have mixed feelings on him returning. He threw away a great opportunity and for what?

All we can do is wait and see. At some point over the next few days, he should be eligible to apply for reinstatement. He'll either apply or he won't. If he applies, I would imagine he'll be reinstated. If that happens, he'll get an opportunity to make this roster, and he'll sink or swim based on where he's at as a player at that point. I don't know if he's done with football or not. Nobody does, and they won't until such time as he actually takes that first step.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Quote:Is this the most viewed and also most posted forum thread ever. Sad if it is but it does show wasted talent interest of Blackmon.The only reason for the numbers being what they are is because there have probably been 20 or more threads merged into this one. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

My thinking is, even if he does apply and get reinstated, he's not going to be anything like the player that so many on this board thinks that he is. I could be wrong, but being out of football this long and the events since then leads me to believe that he's "damaged goods". There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
Ill say it
.Hes coming back. Hes going to be reinstated. Hes going to play this year. Hes going to do well

A condition of reinstatement is no arrests and/or convictions for any criminal activity, including substances of abuse-related offenses, during the banishment. Week 12 would be the earliest possible reinstatement. He's not playing this year.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

If there is more of a delay it would most likely be because he has chosen not to apply or he has had an additional infraction that isn't public knowledge like a failed drug test.

I could be wrong, but being out of football this long and the events since then leads me to believe that he's "damaged goods". I'm not holding out much hope that he'll come back and be anything close to the player he was prior to the suspension, but I'm of the mindset that he'll be given an opportunity to prove he is worthy of a roster spot. Maybe over time he'll regain that level of play. Maybe he won't. He'll have a chance to answer that question soon.
