We shouldn't have made that draft pick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snell41 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Some players have earned the benefit of the doubt. They've shown who they are and have earned the respect of their coaches, teammates and fans. Becton simply isn't in that spot right now. He somehow turned an 8 week injury into a 16 week injury. He put the GM and coaches in the tough spot of having to be purposely vague about his injury and rehab, simply stating that "he's not ready yet," or that there have been some setbacks, etc. as we got into Week 10, Week 12, etc. Essentially, Becton wasn't managing himself well enough to return to the field in a reasonable amount of time. His priorities weren't on football or getting back to the team that needed him. To me, that doesn't mean he's a bad person, it just means he's not a responsible professional who a team can rely on. And so here we are.... After being drafted at #11 overall and playing pretty well last year as a rookie he has lost the confidence of his coaches and they've said his starting spot isn't safe even if he's 100% healthy. That's not a comment you make about a very talented player who you're expecting to only improve after a solid rookie year at LT. That's the comment you make when you don't trust someone anymore. I could care less about streaming video games, but it does reveal something about his priorities and whether the coaches saying his job is up for grabs bothers him at all. He's a professional athlete who is trying to recover from an injury and now rehab his reputation a bit as well, all while being a new father. If the thing at the top of his mind is finding out which video games people think he should play then so be it. The games I wanted to see him play were in December.I know someone here knows how to make the cool applause gif I intend as a response to your post, but as another poster pointed out I’m not even cool enough to figure out how to remove my signature from IPhone.

What I am is a 62 year old guy who has worked his butt off over the last 40 years, trying to make a better life for myself and my family, and hopefully gaining some wisdom along the way. My advice is based upon my life experiences, and hopefully there are people who are decades younger than I am who can learn something from me. For myself, I have never stopped learning, and I will never be too old to admit that I can learn something from anyone, being they old or young. And, "get off my lawn!"

I want him to play up to his potential and get paid at the end of his first contract. Like most sane people, we can see that he is not putting in the effort. Him doing a hulk pose at the gym in the beginning of the season is somehow proof that he took the offseason seriously. Football shape and looking good in workout clothes are not the same thing. Gaining weight while rehabbing is not showing dedication. If he was serious about his rehab, we would have seen him getting at it in the pool, and using upper body cardio options. You don't need your knee to eat a high protein diet with moderate fat and carbs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that there was a guy on the board that is doing very well in the league exacerbates the issue, as well. Disappointing debut pick from a guy who billed himself as an o-line guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JoJoTownsell1 Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 7 hours ago, Sonny Werblin said: Frankly, I find the juvenile hatred of Becton troubling. He does have the option of showing the fans videos of himself getting into ridiculous shape after taking the last year off rather than videos of himself playing video games. Actors or athletes that thrust their personal lives onto to social media (and who get the benefit of all those extra followers), can't then get all sensitive when fans make mildly inappropriate comments. Regardless, he can shut all the haters up by, you know, being in shape and playing football. The thing he is being paid millions of dollars to do. Not such a big ask. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all here because we care way to much about this stupid concussion hobby. It's a silly virtue signal to tell people not to care, nor express it, when something is bad/disappointing. In Becton's case, his own coach has come as close as I can remember to questioning his own players work ethic. People are disappointed, frustrated, angry about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves criticism for gaining weight during his injury rehab but. lol the idea that he is some 425 lb Jabba the hut is simply not true. The dude is a large human and probably couldn't even work out properly with a knee injury. Kinda makes sense he put on weight but I'm not doctor.

You know, youth is wasted on the young. I said that to my wife's younger cousin (in his 20s) and he snapped back that that wisdom is wasted on old farts. He had me there, so even though we were in a restaurant I told him to get off my lawn & promptly called the cops on him to gift him the wisdom of keeping his punk mouth shut, the f***ing smartass. OK I didn't really, but I wanted to and probably should have lol. edit: I see @Jethead beat me to adding part of my reply. Still an apt line to use.
