[sclawman77]

Always thought he was pretty athletic for a qb his size.

The hefty lefty! I read that earlier today - hate to hear that. Hope he recovers quickly! He's too darn young for so many health problems.

Last picture I saw of him showed an unfit, almost morbidly obese man.

I'm thankful most folks don't express their unfiltered(?) thoughts as you do.

 

[Blackland]

I wish him the best, an OL sized guy playing QB, you do not see this very often.

I hardly think that an honest account of what a person actually saw when what was seen is germane to the topic being discussed violates any standard of appropriateness.

Prayers for him and his family

He need to cut carbs out completely to have a chance. Saw him when he was in Canada. He was 350 pounds at least. Looked like a lineman out there. Actually liked him as a quarterback. Prayers to him and his family.

As I understand this, the filter takes an honest thought and passes through something not quite so honest on the other side in order that feelings be not offended. Is this how the filter functions?

 

[MJDaGod6Rings]

I remember seeing a story about him on ESPN where he was working with doctors to get his weight under control. I think he had ballooned to well over 400 pounds. He always seemed like a good kid. Hate to see anyone go through this kind of thing.

Maybe bro, but there is no reason a person of that age should let themselves go like that.I tend to agree with Kingward on this one, even though I don't mostly.Lol

 

[Sensible Rooster]

Feel bad for the guy- hope he gets better, and can make sustainable lifestyle changes. No one deserves to be sick, whether it’s self-inflicted or not. Which by the way- we don’t know to be a fact in this instance. If I remember correctly, seems like he played QB at Kentucky at around 260. Guy obviously had lifelong weight issues. Get well, big fella.

One day you'll grow up and be able to have adult conversations without your feelings being hurt. It might not be "nice", but you'll learn more.

Loved watching the Pillsbury Throwboy

Well, on the one hand you feel bad b/c you never want to see anyone suffer/die. On the other hand, it's most likely his health issues are directly related to his overall condition. It's kind of like watching the show My 600 lb Life. It's hard to have sympathy for those folks when they put themselves in that position.

My hope is that he recovers and this is a wake-up call to get his health in order.

Believe it or not, he was a great high school basketball player.

That's OK. You can do normalcy tomorrow, or maybe even later today.

A lot of people seem to delay going to a doctor when they are hurting.

ha! Had a heel spur removed last August. Have been having some residual soreness/tightness ever since. Just went back to the doc yesterday.

At one time he outweighed 4 of his top 5 lineman. We probably will never see that again in our lifetime or at least in mine.

 

[pisgah]

He was fun to watch as long as we were winning the game.

While wearing a Runningback's number(22)!
