It’s hard to explain just how drunk 0.24 is. It’s a miracle he could stay conscious. People who get THAT drunk should send up red flags for the team.

Don’t sign and go to another team blackmon. It’s a career ender before it gets started. They drafted a punter in the 3rd round for Christ sake

RE: Blackmon–better get his lawyer to settle this thing so he can get to camp. Just plead to whatever, dude. The NFL’s treatment of you isn’t going to be any different and the fine you’ll owe will be chump change. Move on.

RE: Anger–HAHAHA! Gene, see how idiodic using a 3rd was on a punter? The players nor the owners nor the league figured a bonus structure for a punter would ever be necessary in the 3rd round. Hilarious! Should have never let go of Podlesh. And by the way, I have nothing but great things to say about Anger, the guy. Seems awesome.

How could anyone with these behaviors in their resume NOT expect there to be carefully worded language that protects the employer, especially when the employer is going to be asked to provide a salary worthy of a high ( pun intended ) draft pick. If his agent demanded a contract as if there were no issues, that alone would tell me the kind of attitude Blackmon has assumed regarding the shouldering of his responsibilities. It would also influence me to tell him to pound salt until he joins us in the REAL world. No team needs this kind of player unless and until he assumes ALL responsibility for his behaviors, whether these choices are appropriate or not so appropriate.

I certainly couldn’t have predicted something as detrimental as a DUI for this young guy, but I felt as if he was looking like a future bust having landed in a bad spot in Jacksonville. Yes, he possesses a good amount of talent, but whenever you evaluate a WR you obviously have to also evaluate whose throwing the ball to him…and Gabbert looks like a big question mark. His offensive line didn’t do the greatest job of protecting him, but Gabbert looked very flustered on a regular basis in his first season.

Anger should take whatever they offer and kiss their hands on the way out.

Blackmon situation is far from over. He hasn’t been great on or off the field so far. Could be problematic.
