I think that too much is made by some of the “experts” when it comes to marijuana and how much it really hurts these kids when it comes to the draft. The NFL has been very flexible about this issue and it usually takes years for the pendulum to swing back the other way. When Marino dropped to the Dolphins, some people thought it was all about how he did that season but the concern wasn’t about his performance as much as they felt that marijuana had contributed to his season. After he turned out to be a lot better than most people had assumed, the NFL quietly kicked themselves in the rear end and put less emphasis on this “character” issue. Turn the clock forward several years and along comes Warren Sapp and another top talent takes a tumble. The Bucs thank their lucky stars that they not only got a top talent but that they were also able to get him on the cheap. After he turns out to be everything that people thought he would be without the pot, teams quietly stopped putting as much emphasis on this “character” issue. This year, there are those that are pushing for this issue with Ryan Mallett and while there are those that are quietly telling people who will listen that this is going to cost him, they’re more likely to use this in contract negotiations than they are when it comes to passing him over because they may want others in front of them to decide to wait for a later round or to reach for another QB so that he drops to them.

centex, I absolutely agree with you on Mack Brown, with the exception of the look-the-other-way implication. However, I don’t think bringing up Mack that was was necessary. As a Texas fan, I would really prefer to not mention the pedestal unless it becomes a natural part of the conversation.

I’d rather have my kids high on pot than drunk on alchohol.
Weed being illegal is the stupidest law in all of America and I don’t even smoke it.

What’s sad is JJ is hurting himself more than he may ever know!

Jenkins is a rd 1 or 2 cover corner who has the talent, skill set and speed to play on Sundays.
His lack of common sense intelligence may cost him more than a million $$$ if he slips into the later rounds.

That is an awful expensive “high” that he can’t seem to get enough of………..

gamecockinfl,

Oh god, give me a break. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s like drinking a beer. As long as people are able to be productive citizens, stay out of their business. Who cares about the law? Really. It’s not hurting anybody.

I didn’t realize people in SEC country are such tight-wads.

As an SEC member I am smart enough to know that last time I checked smoking pot and drinking under the age of 21 is still illegal, EVERYWHERE. If Mack Brown is looking the other way, he should bare some of the responsibility for facilitating. Heads up parents of future Texas recruits.

centexhorn – i did have a point, your post was boring and worthless and then on top of that- it had the lamest of lame insults at the end.

On the positive side–there have been “no violent crimes on Muschamp’s watch!”

If the only arrests are weed related then it will be a dramatic improvement…..it appears things may be “mellowing out in Gainesville.”

Was my post sponsored by Lunesta? That’s not a good one.

Also, try to have a point next time you comment.

Muschamp said he doesn’t want to be a CEO coach. Obviously he’d rather be a crime boss coach like Meyer was.

Look, here’s something you need to know about Mack Brown. He doesn’t give a shit if you smoke pot. I remember one incident where we ran into Cedric Benson at the Arboretum. Like, my buddy literally ran into him, or he ran into my buddy as he was turning the corner. Anyway, we saw that he got into a candy green-painted Navigator. Later, when we came back to the parking garage, we was there were guts of a Swisher Sweet next to where he had been parked. He obviously rolled himself a blunt before driving off.

Texas is about as squeeky-clean as it gets. The illegality of marijuana might matter to the people of Gainesville, but it doesn’t matter to the people of Austin. A program can still be squeeky-clean and be turning a blind eye to the kind of things kids do like smoke weed and get drunk, as long as those kids are smart about it. That’s all Mack asks, that kids be smart about it. Janoris obviously isn’t being smart about it. Either that, or cops there are more strict.

It’s easily possible that he’s brought Mack’s mentality on this issue with him to Florida. But I think the Florida way should be the same as the Texas way. Don’t flip out about it as long as kids are smart about it.

But it’s SEC Country, so I guess kids aren’t smart about much. Zing!

Wouldn’t it be easier to report on the UF players NOT arrested for smoking pot.

So why are we hearing about this now instead of January 30. It’s almost may.

And the fact that this latest revelation puts the first-year UF coach square in the crosshairs of public perception.

He picked up right where Uburn Meyers left off..what else is new.
