What Joey said about Carr was 100% true, in season, and in the context of playing to win. Raider fans will tell you that Carr NEVER scrambles and is lacking in pocket courage. Derek is potentially dangerous as he throws a good deep ball. Solid.
Now let's take what Mad Maxx said. The season was over. It was out of the blue and very personal. The timing and context is suspect. Maxx was essentially saying "...look at me-I never complain." (classic narcissism from a former user.) To say nothing of the name calling.
Finally let's take this board, where intelligent football takes are supposed to be order of the day, at least occasionally. Many are now actually saying that Joey Bosa is not a good football player.
The "called out the entire board" and "defense of Lombardi" attack must unfortunately now be addressed.
The term "piling on" which you continue to side step means essentally this: You have overplayed your hand. It is such a shallow point, from a disappointed fanbase, to say "got ya Joey, Maxx is right," and to repeat that over and over on a Charger fan board.
My support of Lombardi was, in season, like Joey's turtle comments on Carr. I wanted to retain Lombardi. The stick routes were to protect Joey's ribs, etc. .
It is pleasing to hear that Moore will run QB sneaks instead of 3rd and 1 jet sweeps. Lombardi and my support of him is now unimportant.
And respectfully disagree, as I stated your defense of Joey is eerily akin to your defense of Lombardi, not my creation, yours. Every week I heard it from you, love to forget it (your favorite thing to do) but you are, if nothing else, memorable, you strive to be and succeed in that. Kudos. But that doesn’t make you right, and everyone else on the board wrong (“disgusting” was your term).
Joey is a great player, and I’m sad he’s essentially cancelled his career. Nice to get even a low pick for him. Maybe I’m wrong and he’ll turn into a sack monster, I just doubt the refs will let him. Not sorry if that disgusts you.

Not overplayed at all. He’s made himself (whether he has capacity to act otherwise or not) into an ineffectual defender and I’d prefer to trade him for that reason. No ref will ever call a holding penalty against an opposing blocker, even if he’s getting mugged (and he often is). Even if Joey manages his issues, the refs will still not throw the flag and let him get mugged, every play. He’s a liability at this point, I didn’t create the situation, he did.

We do not play modern football.

Most of these dumb jocks were shoved through the educational system since grade school. I'd bet half of them can't read on a 4th grade level. Same with musicians, most are dumber than a bag of hammers because they're dropouts. They aren't meant to be idolized off the field or stage. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Loved him as a player (when he was actually on the field), but beyond that I have zero expectations. He probably tries to light his own farts on fire.

The only thing I can add is I felt like shit bagging on Ryan Leaf when I found out later he had a brain tumor which may have affected him when he was on our team.
Mental health clinics are something the NFL should fund especially with CTE and remember Barrett Robins Center for the Raiders who got lost in TJ on Super Bowl day in San Diego ?
Editor’s note: Sports Uncovered, the newest podcast from NBC Sports, shines a fresh light on some of the most unforgettable moments in sports. The fifth episode tells the story of “The Mysterious Disappearance that Changed a Super Bowl,” chronicling Barret Robbins’ absence from Super Bowl XXXVII. Super Bowl week is unlike any other in sports. It’s five days of media sessions, interviews,…
