A.J. Dillon tests positive for COVID-19 [OP from 11/2020]

[Dantés]

It's because they can be asymptomatic carriers and unwittingly pass it on to someone vulnerable (or the rest of the lockerroom). The tests take days to come back, holding them out is their protocol. Further, we don't know their medical history to the full extent so saying it's not dangerous to them in a cavalier manner is naive. I won't even respond to the car accident line. The trouble with the internet is exactly posts like this, people trying to come across as confident when their posts are full of falsehoods and no easy means of fact-checking.

I've said my peace, it was NFL related until the last line. I'll move on mods.

I know it's their protocol.

What I'm saying is that it's stupid protocol.

Holding players out because there's a chance that they may be asymptomatic carriers of a virus, and if so there's a chance they may pass the virus (asymptomatic carriers are less likely to do so), and if so there's a chance that it may end up being someone vulnerable (almost zero-- knowing the Dillon had it, they can obviously avoid vulnerable demographics), and all of that regarding a virus that has a .02% chance of being deadly to the general population (smaller chance for healthy NFL players)... that's incredibly stupid.

If that kind of risk is too great to allow them to play, then statistically no player should ever play any game at all. Because altogether, that's infinitesimal.

If I'm so full of falsehoods then I would imagine you could point some out. I would say the real problem with the internet is that it's replete with fascistic jerks who think opinions they disagree with should be censored because they don't like them.

Or, you could send your CV to the NFL to update them with your opinions and spare us information you're pulling out of a hat.

This is their job, they have analyzed what they feel is the right information and have protocols in place for the safety of everyone and their families. Trust people who dedicate their lives to being right, not internet statisticians. At the end of the day, the goal is to ensure the safety of the players and their families.

If you want to argue about your "facts" that you keep tossing around, I'd suggest you engage in a conversation with an epidemiologist or infectious disease specialist. Twitter may be the best forum to do so as I've had success asking questions with authorities on different matters, including physicians.

Mods: I'm done and moving on.

Again, feel free to fact check me any time. As I said before, if I'm so full of falsehoods, it should be easy to point them out. My guess is that you aren't doing so because you can't.

No, it's because time is money homie.

And there it is... A.J. Dillon is the one who tested positive.

Finally one of Gutekunst's early round picks this year having a huge impact

You can add Kamal Martin to the list of useless picks.

 

[JK64]

Sounds like someone has dipped a little too far into Fox news. Can't wait for tomorrow when we can all wake up from this nightmare.

Mr. Senile is the real nightmare.

 

[GleefulGary]

Blocked or not... his comment was entirely related to The NFL....

I never said it wasn’t, friend. Just wanted to make sure he got the memo, as an active participant in this thread.

 

[Dantés]

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

 

[GleefulGary]

Mr. Senile is the real nightmare.

Look, I didn’t want to do this, but I’ve posted multiple warnings. Cmon man!

A rookie starter is a useless pick?

Fair enough... but it’s pretty clear that no one else in here has gotten that message either.

 

[swhitset]

I was wondering about that one as well.

Amen Brother!

The guy has played what? One game or two? Injured and now sick.

 

[swhitset]

1. he is a late round rookie
2. Being out for Covid?? are you seriously holding that against Gute?

People his age are the bane of the covid spread. Both him and AJ. Like BB says the best ability is availability. Still, I liked what I saw of him when he was playing.

lmao... so Gute should have drafted somebody older?

 

[JK64]

lmao... so Gute should have drafted somebody older?

Oh you so smaht. Really no. I said I liked the player. He hasn't played much though and now this ****.

 

[JK64]

I will be on Gute big time if he doesn't do something before the trade deadline.

 

[Mondio]

so on one hand, he's arguing he is a useless rookie and on the other he's saying we shouldn't have any of them because of their age group? so do you want a draft class that contributes or not?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

In 9 minutes you can kick his ****.

No that's not what I said. I said, that age group are the super spreaders. Disagree? Of course they need to draft young men. Again, I like KM, but he hasn't played much, which is a fail for other reasons.

We need a Gute thread.

NFL trade deadline rumors: Packers still in on Will Fuller even with disagreements in organization, per report

 

[Mondio]

No that's not what I said. I said, that age group are the super spreaders. Disagree? Of course they need to draft young men. Again, I like KM, but he hasn't played much, which is a fail for other reasons.

well, kind of. In WI every age group above the 18-24 year olds is averaging over 1000 more cases per week since the beginning of September thru October. 25-34 over 1000 more per week, 35-44 has been well over 1000 more per week than 18-24 and just now coming back down to about 1000 more, maybe slightly under at this point of unconfirmed data. 45-54, same 1K higher or more per week since beginning of Sept. 55-64 same. 65+ same.

The only group that has had less numbers since beginning of September has been the under 18 group. Not that it matters really.

The guy had a knee injury and now caught a virus. Hardly the fault of the GM.
