Shouldn't effect Goff at all. Thomas can still participate in training camp and preseason. And Tavon should be back. Very low chances Higbee gets a suspension too. Tavon missed practice in shorts. No big deal. Goff will get his reps with everyone.

How clean do you guys think the average NFL roster is?? Coaches get mad at their players not for using PEDS... they get mad at them for being stupid enough to get caught in a system that favors them from not getting caught.
The biggest one these days is HGH and the testing for it is piss-poor and favors the players.
You typically run a cycle of steroids in the offseason when testing is way fewer and far between and HGH all year.
Anyone who gets caught these days probably used something other than HGH.
Look, I love football but the hypocrisy of the sport is astounding. Players and coaches regularly cheat whether doing the Bilicheat method or PEDS.

He was arrested in April 2016 before the draft. Higbee wasn't in the NFL when he was arrested. I don't think they can suspend him. I imagine Thomas losses some reps at least during the preseason games.
doesn't seem worth it? wasting time on a young wr?
what is this guy even talking about? i saw plenty of potential in thomas. stupid bloggers.

McVay will tolerate this crap because the vast majority of guys on the team are on PEDs. Thomas was dumb enough to get caught. That's his mistake.
Yea, it's only four games. There are 16 of them. If he can contribute to this team in the other 12 games, he should stay. Just work with him to keep him from getting caught next time.
Should the other 40+ guys on the team, doing the exact same thing, give up their shirts too?
Then this team, and Goff, are doomed.
Yup and the NFL needs to crack down HARD on it.
If he declared then they can take action from what I read somewhere.
This was the best post in the thread and there should be a special award for it.
Nah. It's better for everyone that they let these guys use the PEDs.
the same reason the olympics will always make sure they're behind the curve with the lastest enhancement drugs. they'll always put up a patsy like ben johnson but they never want to rid the sports of drugs. imagine what the times would be like without drugs. lord knows what flojo was taking for her(it) to still hold the world record 30 years later.

No it isn't. Because the guys who decide not to do it are at a disadvantage.
Cheating is bad for the culture. It's also a really terrible thing for sports.
It can turn it into WWE.
It's not turning it into the WWE. That's a ridiculous opinion. Games aren't scripted.
Cheating is bad for the culture. PEDs are not. They're not really cheating when almost the entire league does them. They're necessary to what we desire. We want bigger, faster, and stronger players. PEDs are necessary for that.
However, they aren't just necessary for those reasons. They are necessary for these guys' bodies to recover from the traumas of the game. You don't want a NFL without PEDs.
There are very few guys who decide not to do them.
Been saying that for years. Regulate it and administer it properly, it aids in recovery and helps heal faster. Much better than pain meds and cortisone shots which are legal but far more dangerous

Higbee entered a diversion program for an assault charge it almost guaranteed he will get some sort of suspension at some point even if its not this year.
I disagree when you are learning a new offense and with a young QB and young WRs those guys need as many reps as possible together. Developing timing and chemistry between WR and QB is critical and you can only do that with time and reps. Whats the point of giving Thomas heavy reps in camp when he could be at best the 5th WR behind Woods, Tavon, Kupp, and Reynolds when he gets back. Additionally, Tavon is supposed to adjust to this new deep threat role, while learning a new offense, playing with a QB he didn't get a ton of reps with last year with just a few weeks of camp?
On the bright side it seems like the WRs were rotated heavily in the offseason because outside of Woods its nowhere near set in stone who will play alot. Like I said before Thomas' suspension just opens up more reps for Reynolds to play and develop which doesn't hurt because he is the more talented player.
The WWE was to punctuate the thought.
Anyway no I do not want PED's in the sport, they are bad for the culture, it's another form of cheating and cheating in sports is wrong and bad for the sport. In that way it does resemble the WWE.
Guys who do PED's are cheating regardless of how many guys are doing them because they are against the rules. About half of the players in the league are cheating and I'd like to know how that helps the game. I'm sure the half who aren't doing them would like to know that too LOL.
I don't need bigger faster stronger. That doesn't make the game better.
As far as recovery from the trauma..........the bigger faster stronger is what is causing the trauma.
Notice all the guys with CTE that are blowing their chests open..........all from this steroid era.
They are bad for the game in every way. There isn't a single thing they add to sport.
The rules are in place.
Obey the rules.
Don't obey them, and you get what you get.
I'm sure we all have our own ideas about how the league should operate, and what they should or shouldn't do to improve the game for the players and/or fans; but until the rules are changed, obey the MFing rules for the benefit of the team. It's not quantum physics.
