Anyone know if Stafford is vaccinated?

The last thing we need is our starting QB inhibited in his preparation for this season.

Anyone know if Stafford is vaccinated?

The last thing we need is our starting QB inhibited in his preparation for this season.

“So I’m going to be blunt, I’m so over it. I’m so over living in a dictatorship we call Michigan. I understand there’s a pandemic, and I understand it’s very scary. I’m scared of it too. If you are at risk, do not leave your house until there’s a vaccine. But shutting down all these small businesses, things that people have worked their life for, shutting them down again is not the answer. Because they will not make it.

“So once we are able to leave our house, once this dictatorship decides to let us have some freedom, there will be nothing left. I’m just over it. I see all these people and it brings me to tears.

“And believe me, I know there’s people out there that are stating, ‘That’s really ignorant of you. How could you say that?’ Listen, I know not everybody is going to agree with me. Not everybody is going to agree with my every move I make. That’s life, OK. We state our opinions, we move on. This is my opinion.

“I feel for these small businesses. I feel for — it’s not that I don’t feel for the people who have COVID, or the hospitals. I do. But this is my opinion. I do not like living in a place where they tell me what I can and cannot do. I live once. Again, this is my opinion. You have yours. Everyone has their own. And we chalk it up to that.”

So there is that influence in his house.

Well, that statement was last November. Hopefully, Stafford is wise enough to understand he needs to get vaccinated, Just as I hope all our players and coaches get that.

In her defense, she did say don’t leave your house until there’s a vaccine.

And I do appreciate the concept of fighting for your freedom. There are some things that go a bit too far that are being pushed by the leftists.

She walked that one back and like max said it was a while ago...

Not to start anything....yeah - she apologized for calling Michigan a "dictatorship" - but I wouldn't exactly call that walking it back. She was pretty much dead on, imo.

Here's her apology:

"All right, y'all, here's what I do best," she said, "coming back to apologize, after I read some of your things and I get grounded a little bit. I'm really sorry. I was in the heat of the moment. I have a friend losing their business, and it's just getting to me a little bit, so I apologize for calling it a dictatorship.

"I just want it to work for everybody, and I know it's not going to work for everybody, and it just kills me to see people suffer from financial burden, from losing their business and also from getting sick. ... I apologize."

She added in another Instagram post that "I love Michigan and the people here ... Don't get that twisted in this. This place was my rock during my tough times."

It's all water under the bridge at this point but if anyone wants to talk the politics of shut downs and stuff like that, take it to general discussion...

I think we are going to look to trade Woods after camp begins IF Van and Tutu look good .
Salary dump and going with younger guys.

LOL. they're not trading Woods.

On another site posting,


So personally getting 4500 to 4800 in passing yds with our lead RB getting over 1000yds and the rest of our RB/WR/TE getting for a total of 2,000yds in running game and scoring at 33+/gm should be a nice balance attack all the way to the SB...

Yea I think the 4500yd area is more realistic.
We have too good of a running game to be putting up much more than that.

Of course one of the main guys finding talent is now in Detroit.

It's ok most of the main guys in finding talent are still in LA

The key word is "developing". If you can do that, you can develop guys from any round. Some teams (staffs) have a hard time developing first round picks. We're in a good place to be sure. The one guy I hope is a great developer is Kevin Carberry.

You're damned right on that PARAM.
You bring up a very good point to an aspect that can be forgotten
especially by the bobble heads in the media.
I think our draft was chopped full of high ceiling guys who , with the right coaching
can turn out to be special.
With you on Carberry. He got his highest graded ST guy in Harris and Les and the guys
did a good job of adding players who stood out on ST's in college.
But Caberry has to be able to put it all together.
Here's hoping McVay got the right man for the job.
