Your loss.

I'd take him.

He's a beast.
Can't trust him. If a dude gives up a multi-million dollar living because he can't stop getting high there is something wrong with him and you can have him.

Top 20 in QB rating as well and a first team all Pro selection . He will be an interesting case . The numbers say yes but QB numbers in this era are inflated but then again so are WR numbers yet no one ever dismisses their cases based on that

When was he first team All Pro, he was second team All Pro in 2015.

I'm more forgiving about shit like that.

And I would if I could.
Don't care what he does in his personal life as long as it doesn't fuck with my team. His behavior fucks with the team. You cannot count on the guy to be available when you need him.

Well, being a lover of the herb superb myself, I'd sit him down and chat. Maybe try and get a medical clearance, fake cancer or something.....

He is worth the risk to me.

I was once a conniseur of fine herb myself but I took a well-paying job that required me to quit smoking because of urinalysis. That's all it took. Can't see how Gordon can ruin a multi-million dollar career because he can't quit. To me that says "weakness"

His career is going along just fine.

What would they do if you lived in California or Colorado where it's legal now?

I could see showing up for work bombed but otherwise.

I'm glad I've had great paying jobs that don't require horseshit like that.

A guy starts fucking up, sure, test his ass unless he's a pilot or something. Aside from that leave him the fuck alone.

Wouldn't matter. Their requirement is no drug use for those in my position. Not a big deal though. I had to choose between providing for my family and getting high. I chose the former. If a guy with no skills like me lands a fantastic opportunity I I do not mind giving up dope.

Can't imagine a no skills job that would require that.

Can you drink?

If so it's a fucked up rule.

I'd be looking for something else.

It is a fucked up rule but drinking is legal; smoking pot is still a federal crime. My bosses are very conservative and old fashioned but very very generous when it comes to remuneration.
As for looking elsewhere? Guys with no skills can't be too choosy.

Come to Canuckistan.... Look for a branch office that gives silly shekels to unskilled labour. Next summer we will be federally legal.

Can't imagine a job requiring no skills that pays very well.

My boss (the owner) keeps a 26er of Vodka in the freezer.

My kind of people.

They (the mr-s-chaneys) may not even have a butt.

Like David Bowie in Man Who Fell To Earth.

It's hard to tell what those non/multiple gender folks possess.

Any employer can fire you if you smoke weed. Even the govt job a friend has, he would get fired if he tested positive for weed.

Where I work, they need a reason to test you. You fuck up somehow, and it seems like it, you might get tested.

You don't fuck up, no problemo.

And now once we are legal up here nationally, only if you are in the bag on the job.

Which I'd have no problem with.

Free time is free time.

He was also the #3 OVR pick in 2004 where Smith was undrafted, I'd hope to god Larry is better otherwise that's just sad. Also while Smith played a few years with Elway and Larry 5 years with with Warner, Larry also played with way better QB's than Smith did after Elway retired. Still having over 10,000 receiving yards and 8 1,000 yard seasons with likes of Brian Griese and Jake Plummer isn't exactly easy. Carson Palmer is better than both of those QB's combined.

Rod Smith may have been the best undrafted receiver of all time. But when comparing him to Fitz, the only real comparison is their staying loyal to one team.

Also, this might be the first time I heard anyone say Fitz had much better QB's than any team over his career. Much Better is a huge stretch.

Yep. Where I live, you cannot drive out to an interstate without going through a border patrol checkpoint. So even though my friend has a prescriptuion for marijuana, he cannot leave town with his "medication" without risking arrest or at least confiscation of this medication since the border patrol is a federal agency. Its absurd but that's they way it is.
