Was Jamie Dukes out of line on Ryan Mallett?

[quote=Eknox;793717]

The writing here is too remedial for me to offer an adequate rebuttal. In the future, please take the time to form a well thought out paragraph before typing. Thanks.

But- I never said those two preach hate (unless you count Jackson's remarks that he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off). What I was referring to was there hypocrisy. Going after sensational news stories about race (Imus, Kramer from Seinfeld, etc) with vitreal while giving "rapers" & "entertainers" a pass for the role they play in the degredation of black communities for profit. Also, I was unaware of Jackson's and Sharpton's social contributions in the 1950's. I am throuroughly impressed seeing as though Jackson was a teenager and Sharpton was born in 1954....power to the toddlers!

BTW- How can you feel comfortable calling me a racist without knowing my ethnic background or upbringing? Your ignorance shines brightly in this post.

Oh Yeah....seriously, the KKK? WTF does that terrorist organization have to do with the subject matter?

Preach.

It must be the off season.....another pointless thread and people getting mad at each other. Half of the former players that go on NFL network are terrible and make dumb comments. Probably the concussion thing....

I like Mallett,i know his family, watched him play many games in high school and would without question take a chance on him.

lol! What did Moon say about Newton? missed that

I don't know for sure if he went after everyone criticizing Newton or just one website, but at the very least he described one draft websites scouting profile as racially biased against Newton because he's a black Quarterback.

ProFootballWeekly's Nolan Nawrocki released sharp criticisms of Newton in his annual draft preview recently, and that increased the attention paid to the Auburn product. Nawrocki, in listing Newton's potential negatives, wrote:

"Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup. Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and always will struggle to win a locker room."

It should also be noted that Nawrocki also made similar comments about Clausen a year earlier, using the work fake when describing Clausen's personality.

I would take a chance on Mallet as well. From what I have seen this kid can play.
It amazes me that in the process of evaluating players, the personal negative stuff has to be made so public. Really only the teams, owners, coaches and front office people are the only ones that need to know this stuff. It should not be made into an hour long show and discussed by some unqualified moron like Jaime Dukes on national tv.
These are the personal lives of young adults and not fictional tv, it should be kept more private. This is not like Brett Farve or Ben Roethlisburger situation where they victimized somebody. These are really young adults that smoked some weed and acted the fool in college like most of us did at that age.

^ and what's sad is moon or anyone else will not come to mallets aid on this . This guy has been destroyed in the media ever since college, yet he didn't take 80 grand To play at ARK or MICH

Dukes is a sh*thead plain and simple. I think it is borderline racist because Dukes statement is an attempt to connotate Mallet's character as negative...which in turn gives light to Dukes own racist stereotypes.

Thats a little much isn't it? It was a simple misguided statement. Not a reflection of someone, who by all accounts is a pretty nice guy, and I've heard that from whites and blacks alike. If Duke's really is a racist then he sucks at it.

I don't know....what was the street value of the drugs he took to feed his addiction? Lol.

Still no one should come to his aid if all this stuff is true. If he did it then he did it and a team should hold it against him when it comes to considering weather or not to invest time and money in developing him. Just like GM's should hold Newton's shady past against him when considering investing in him with a high draft pick.

Phil Simms thinks Mallet and Newton are top 10 talent. Wow. Newton maybe Mallet nO way in hell.

^ Mallett is a better QB than Cam Newton my man

^ Mallett is a better QB than Cam Newton my man

As an overall player he's not. So if Newton and Mallet are both there you'd take Mallet....... If you had to choose. I personally don't want nothing to do with both of them.
