RIP Dwayne Haskins

Gil Brandt is old AF and needs to go retire.

What I remember most was the time he took that selfie w/ those kids when it was the end of the game. He got killed for it but I loved it. He got caught up in the moment a bit and went over to those kids and took that picture. The look on those kids faces was priceless. I personally just loved it. Thought the media made way too big a deal out of it.

Agreed.

Dwayne was a good guy. His issues- if that is the term- were not too different from what most young men experience. I made lots of mistakes when I was that age, but I was not in the limelight.

RIP Dwayne. HTTR.

I think we forget they are in their early twenties all these "men", i have interns in my office that sometimes it feels more like baby sitting then managing them.

Exactly. Things were probably a bit different back in the day when a pro salary was usually NOT a key to becoming wealthy and the media was primitive compared to now.

In a way, Dwayne was bit like Tim Robbins' character in Bull Durham. Decent talent, but with the quest for "fun" that young men almost always have in abundance. And maybe Mike Tomlin was his "Crash" and would have steered him towards a respectable career.

Its because he missed the following play and they had to send out a back up QB but it was a good pic and funny moment.

He was driving around with someone that was blacked out at 6-7 in the morning?

It's not easy to be out cold that far into the next day. Hard to believe he was sober himself then. Doesn't mean he wasn't sober. But the odds are he wasn't.

And he is married and the passenger wasn't his wife? Maybe he was just helping her out. So still lots to wait to hear about. But looks like it's heading towards multiple bad decisions that led to this.

Regardless of whatever it is, it's still a shitty end to a young man's life. Also, based on what we know so far, the driver that hit him needs some sympathy. I couldn't imagine hitting and killing someone (if it was sheer wrong place/wrong time).

We should be careful before jumping to conclusions here

Yep, he could quite easily have picked up someone in a bad way and his car broke down in teh wrong place. So many explanations, but we always seemed drawn to the worst. :(
