    Doesn't necessarily mean it was the drugs he may have went insane regardless of drug use or been insane prior to his drug usage. Everything is very individualized though I agree.

    No it's not too soon to say that... It was a bad trade from the start. We gave up too much just to move from 40 to 34.

    I didn't hate Hunter, but I didn't see a need to trade up for him.

    Had we played it right we could've ended up with Lotulelei and Warford like I wanted. But instead we played it like fools and ended up with bums.

    Also, other guys in the 2nd round I liked... Eddie Lacy, Le'Veon Bell, Johnthan Banks, Tank Carradine, DJ Swearinger, David Amerson, Robert Alford, Kawaan Short, etc.

    Some of these players have yet to do much and may not, but even so it would've been more beneficial to end up with any of them than give up picks for Hunter.

    Was also mad when the Jags took Cyprien. Wanted him as well.

    Yeah, Pink Floyd says that they didn't think it was the drugs. Early 20s are a time that schizophrenia and other things often manifest themselves. So very well may not have been.. or could have been. He's been dead for awhile, so who knows for sure. Or the LSD could have accelerated his deteriorated state of mind.

    Most of PF's hits were about him, Wish you were here, Comfortably Numb, and others.

    Do you guys think Locker is going to continue to live in Tennessee or move back to the North West?

    I don't see why he'd stay here. He does love his camo though...

    Depends if he likes being anonymous or not. @TitanJeff was there when Locker was sitting at a walmart by himself, "signing autographs" but nobody came to see him. He is just another guy in TN. In Washington, he is a celebrity.

    Like Jay Cutler.. In my city, he can't go out to Buffalo Wild Wings with his wife without being bothered, because he's from here.. I couldn't stand that.

    But Locker, in Nashville.. Just a rich guy. he may like that, may not.. who knows. Not many people will want pictures or harass him for autographs, because everyone wants to forget, or has already forgotten his era in Nashville.

    He did retire a Titan, too bad it was only 4 years after drafted.

    Nope I don't think he is staying in TN.

    I saw an article where they interviewed Jake Lockers dad. He said he doesn't know if he will ever play football again, but he just opened up a gym in Washington called Locker Room Fitness and just had a house built there for him and his family.

    Don't have the link on me.
