If I were to wager, I'd bet he's been offered help in the past; hell Housh talked about "helping him".

Sadly, sometimes they gotta hit rock bottom instead of always being enabled. 

Not saying he doesn't need help but he may need to get it for himself.

I'd say maybe get him psychological help first that the team pays for and see if he can come to his senses, but he definitely needs time away and to be disciplined.

Then again, if we don't release him, we'd be blasted by the media for signing criminals and not making them face consequences.

He might be on the spectrum. Yall should be ashamed of yourselves.

Spectrum, Pfft. you'd think that at a football factory like Alabama they would have already gotten him the help that he needed..

One of my brothers put a .357 under chin/neck and pulled the trigger. He never was able to handle break-ups or traumatic life events very well. It was mental illness that our family chose to ignore until it was too late.

At this point, the kid is in definite dire need for some professional mental evaluation and consoling. Let's all maybe stop taking shots at him and hope/pray that he gets the help he needs. Human being first. Football should be in the back seat for him right now.

I think I need to go back and see who argued with me in his draft thread because I wanted nothing to do with him because he cloth-lined the female fan. 

WTS, I pray he gets right

I'm thinkin yes, at least so far.

(Yesterday, 09:45 PM)TheLeonardLeap Wrote: Nah, still is Ryan Finley.

Not just drafted him (only 24 picks after Burton's pick), but used 3 draft picks to trade up and draft him. Then benched Andy Dalton on his birthday in order to start Finley. Only to find out Finley didn't even have an NFL-backup-caliber arm which seems like could have been known after seeing him throw once. He couldn't even stay in the NFL for the preseason after we cut him, let alone not hang onto a practice squad.
