DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

Do you guys think he can get back to where he was when he was dominant?

8 sacks maximum

Bosa may have a career year. He's at his prime right now, coming off an injury riddled year, and is essentially in his contract year. Dude is going to be super motivated.

osa will be a huge boost for Bosa, IMO. Should help him a ton to have Osa on the interior. I think even Mykel Williams be a huge help to him. We may not have a ton of stars around bosa but a lot of really good players, IMO. I hope he has an incredible year

It's a dead issue unless Bosa doubles down on his past.

But I will take what happened in the past as just a bad decision by him and he doesn't condone that BS

...and that is the way we should take it. Lots of young adults hold views they will discard/change as they gain experience in the world. Sometimes they stub their toe on something that teaches them to move on. That seems to be where Bosa is...and good for him. Right now it is about football.

What? Stub their toe? lol

We've ALREADY went through this with Nick. He's already has given his PR apology letter many years back...It's ridiculous some get the benefit of the doubt over and over and over...

Again, he could have used the damn "👍". I mean that gesture makes more sense. Thumbs up in an agreement with Clark getting fired. Ok cool.

But ok gesture that Clark is got fired? S**t doesn't make sense. But he just wanted a reason to use the symbol that creates drama, or a signal to a certain crowd...

Well, I guess I am not a part of that crowd. I had not idea that particular emoji had any more significance than agreement with a certain situation.

Bosa has every right to push back against a reporter who had criticized him, unfairly in Bosa's eyes.

Clark had a reputation for controversial statements and positions. It is not a big surprise he was fired. It was all part of a big cutback in staffing salaries by ESPN. What was a surprise was Karl Ravech being fired from his baseball gig.

Same and this is what I was saying as well. I don't watch espn. I hate sorts pundit talk but obviously when you're online you see some clips of these guys etc.

When I looked into it this I was like, oh ok, Bosa is clapping back/trolling Clark. Having learned some about Clark through all this, he's def Grant Cohen level obnoxious.

I understand a bit of the backstory between Bosa and Clark. That does not excuse this type of stuff. If someone is fired, even if you have a "beef", don't say anything. Don't do an emoji. Don't do a f**king thing. With Bosa and the "ok" emoji it was either being clueless, an a*****e, an exercise in bad judgement, or something more racially driven. Regardless, if you are someone like Bosa who travels in hard right conservative political circles you have to know better and you have to also know that groups like the ADL and others see the "ok" emoji as a white power symbol. The reason I believe you should know better because you would be amongst your political brothers railing against it being seen as a symbol of hate. You do not have to agree with it, but you should be aware of it. At the very least so that your comments/emojis do not come off as racist.

Look at you. Look at you adding that it could be racially motivated. That fact that's where your heart goes directly to a racist issue. Out of the two who has acted racist? I mean honestly if that's where your head goes from an emoji i think you have bigger fish to fry.

So 3 ACL surgeries and his career year was 2022, 4 years ago. Does he seem motivated by money? Yes he does and that is clear but he has 2 years left on his contract with 50 mill due in 2027. Not sure of the contract conditions for 2027. Regrardless, career year not happening. What are the effects of Morris scheme on Bosa. Maybe that helps him but is he willing to drop back into coverage at times. Does he benefit from more scheme blitzes?

He included it as a possibility, which it is.

The problem with this kind of stuff is that historically signs or signals of hate are used in ways where plausible deniability can be used. Basically, "You can't prove my intent," which is why the signs are designed to be ambiguous in the first place.

At best, it shows Bosa is ignorant to how his comment could be perceived. Which would be surprising, but totally possible. Because the 'ok' sign is not an obscure nod to racist ideology, I'd wager that Bosa knew it could be perceived at racist, but didn't care, which is problematic. Basically troll behavior.

Bosa an all time bust extension imo. Dude has been a karma killer (wearing a specific hat has killed our karma for years) and has been an absolute zero on the field for years. TERRIBLE.

If you look at many extensions, they dont go the teams way. Bosa's been injured and hasnt been on the field to perform the way we want him too but he's no where close to the "all time bust extension" list. Ayiuk is a great example of why.

Lol not even close.

Not an all-time bust extension, but it's not great that we're paying a guy $30 million a year to get less sacks than Leonard Floyd over the last 3 seasons.

That would be a horrible ROI

I love how folks new to this online stuff think that s**t like this works.

Oldest trick in the book. Get on with that BS.
