Lamar Jackson: Buy or Sell?

I keep hearing the Falcons will be making a run to sign Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. I may be an old fogey, but it’s a bad idea for several reasons. Jackson may be amazing, a top 5 NFL QB. BUT: (1) it will take a king’s ramsome to sign him, (2) handicapping the team from signing blockers and defenders needed to make Jackson successful. (3) Jackson has gotten hurt, and will get hurt in the future. (4) the longer Jackson plays, the slower he will get. Sorry, but Lamar Jackson is Mike Vick 2.0, even without the dog fighting prison sentence. Mark my words, Falcon fans will rue the day they sign Lamar.

Not sure I would draft Stetson either, but Bennett does share some similarities with one certain wild stallion the Dirty Birds once drafted back during the Jerry Glanville regime, but Glanville fixed that by trading Brett Favre to Green Bay. 

Saw a cool truck tonight.

That Chads place in Sandy Springs sounds good. This coming Saturday we’re going to Houstons.

I’m starting to feel better. Did almost nothing all weekend. Sick. Aches. Sore throat. Then last night we were moving stuff and my back went out. Woke up every hour last night. Worked from home today. Feel slightly better in the afternoons. But not much. At least I have hit a new low weight, now down 35 pounds total. Not much else to report.

While some say GT head coach Josh Pastner is building a formitable squad, others have a differing opinion.

DAVEY LOPES  [SABR Bio] stole 38 bases without being caught from 10-Jun through 24-Aug-1975 to break Max Carey’s mark of 36 in a row set during the 1922-23 seasons. Lopes was finally nabbed by Gary Carter of the Expos in the 12th inning on August 24th, after stealing number 38 in the 7th.  (Vince Coleman has since broken the record with 50 straight in 1988-89). After Dan McCann did it in 1904, Lopes was the next NL players to steal five bases in one game, on 24-Aug-1974. Lopes spent more than 40 years in the majors: 16 as a player, three as a manager, and 22 as a coach. 

The current US administration knew about the Chinese balloon several days before it was spotted by citizens, but said or did nothing.
