I think Ward can handle himself... And I promise you Dickert doesn’t give a shit nor should he. Two kids who play QB in the same conference throwing the ball around? Not a big dealCause that’s what a coaching staff needs. The qb/rapist that quit at halftime and had a deal in place behind the scenes with another league school…. hanging out with your current qb.
This shows enormously bad judgement on Cam’s part.
Who the fck does this?
Get control of your kids Dick!

I’m sorry did I miss something? Did ward go check into a prison to visit JDL? Are they out running street corners together selling crack? I’m no more of a JDL fan than you are, but they are two starting Pac-12 QBs throwing the ball around. It’s no big deal.It really is staggering how f’in stupid you are. And the complete willful lack of awareness of who these kids are and the history one of them has at WSU is astonishing.
You have zero standards. Ward clearly can’t handle himself, nor can Dick control his team. F’ing awful.
I'm 50/50 on this. It's right to be a better man and forgive. Dumb shit stuff before... lots of people have been there.
It might look worse for us/Ward to show hate.
I don't know the right answer. I don't know details on everything.
But I do ask myself the questions...
1) Would I let my son throw with him? Probably.
2) Would I let my daughter kick it with him? No f*cking way.
I'm giving Cam a pass on this one, but it still smells of shit

I agree with Biggs on this one, as far as JDL being a horrible human being. But this is on Cam Ward. His judgment here is really, really bad.If it smells like shit, why go?
Let’s say this wasn’t WSU. Let’s say it was a school that actually had a HC with stones. Call it, Alabama.
Starting qb at Alabama walks into Saban’s office. He says “hey coach, Im gonna go hang out with XYZ.”
Saban, knowing that this kid:
1) quit on his team at halftime of the bowl game
2) had a NIL deal negotiated awful quick
3) admitted to gang raping a high school girl
says what next???
Of course not. I am 100% with you.Would you forgive him if he raped your daughter? Would you still let your son go throw the football around after he gang raped your daughter?
Yes or no.
Of course not. I am 100% with you.
I'm saying I don't know enough on what actually went down. Where... when... how...
I'm saying that if he's throwing a football at a QB camp and somehow in someway he was deemed "clean enough to play" from people who know more on the story...
It's harder for me to make the call about throwing a football at a QB camp.
It's not hard for me to say ABSOLUTELY NOT for being around my daughter.
But again... I can't say you're wrong in wanting to have him 100% out of equation.
The bigger question is WTF did JDL get invited to the Manning passing academy?!
Lot of good points and counter points about de Laura from the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl forward, but this remains awesome

... and kudos to WSU staff and security for protecting midfield so the mutt players and their idiot fans couldn't try a bush-league copycat maneuver last year at Martin Stadium.

Does the girl he raped agree?
You and Biggs are out of line . They are at the same camp and they are in the same drills .I agree with Biggs on this one, as far as JDL being a horrible human being. But this is on Cam Ward. His judgment here is really, really bad.
That said, I don't know that a HC has the right to tell a player what to do during the off season. This is America after all. I doubt he had any clue what Cam was up to. And I just don't get the Dickert hate. Give the guy a chance.
Not sure I would agree we are that much more moral than ArizonaAgree with Biggs,. A very troubling and tragic incident that happened the week after WSU accepted his commitment from the media reports but apparently was kept hush-hush by the powers that be in Hawaii.
Just imo, but no way de Laura is in a Coug uniform if Coach Leach, Doc, Schultz, Chun Rolo or CJD know anything about the matter.
The standards seems to be a lot different at Arizona than what we'd see at WSU
so what’s the timeframe on which it’s ok to be chummy with/toss the ball around with someone who did shitty things in their past? I’d bet if I looked hard enough I could find footage of Michael Vick and Tom Brady yucking it up somewhere. Does that mean Tom Brady condones animal abuse? Does that mean Bill Belichek has no control over his team? I bet DeShaun Watson has plenty of QB friends in the NFL. And guess what, their coaches don’t care.
If someone said they didn’t want any contact at all with DeLaura because of the shit he did I’d have no problem with that take. I have a teenage daughter, that’s how I personally feel…I also think it’s a bad “get off my lawn” take to
bash another player for throwing a football around with him at a camp or to say his coach has lost control of the team because of it. They are 20 year old kids FFS.
I stand up for a 20 year old kid who hasn’t done anything wrong.You stand up for rapists. Noted.
Not sure I would agree we are that much more moral than Arizona
You think Doc Schultz, Chan and RoLo would've let JdL remain on the team when that story hit the press?
I know you see things differently than Biggs and your buddy Loyal, but they wouldn't have been the only two who would've raised sand and demanded action — and that goes even if the Cougs were getting ready to play in the Rose Bowl again.
Can you imagine the women's rights groups descending on campus?
Yikes

How far is UH from SLHS?
Would the HC at UH know that the star QB at the state’s powerhouse HS raped a girl?
I think there is a high probability.
After the matter become public, I read speculation (Brand Y maybe?) that suggested RoLo probably assumed WSU had vetted JdL and he was in the clear. It's also possible that only a few people in Hawaii knew the seriousness of the situation and they weren't talking (at least not at that time).
Other than that DB from LA that punched that girl in 2014 but got a second chance, Coach Leach was well-known as a zero tolerance type of guy for violence against girls and women. CML probably would've yanked JdL's scholarship offer in 2019 the moment he dug into the details
He says, ‘Cam…what do you know about this kid? About what kind of person he is? Have you seen the way he has behaved continually since he learned to throw a ball? Look…you’re an adult and I can’t tell you what to do on your own time. But as a coach, I’m going to remind you that you’re a leader of this team, and your decisions affect the team, so I need you to make good decisions. I’m going to suggest that you make sure you know who you’re spending time with before you spend time with them, and how those relationships might affect your ability to lead this team. Now…go make a good decision.If it smells like shit, why go?

Well the original post said they were hanging out together somewhere in the Southwest. Louisiana and the Manning camp are a ways away from hanging out in the Southwest. Chugspig - get your facts straight before you post!You and Biggs are out of line . They are at the same camp and they are in the same drills .
Biggs brought up saban . You think for example Henry Riggs first time ever driving drunk and speeding was in Vegas ?
You expect Dickert to keep an eye on a guy at camp trying to be relevant ? Please .
Where do you draw the line ? Can one hang out with meth Millard ? Junior Tupialo? How about a kid or two on the 94 team ?
If cam isn’t smart enough to stay out of trouble that is on him . Just a guess but cam probably has a stronger foundation .

Because he threw the ball well or because he wouldn’t allow any photographers to take pictures of him and JDL?And apparently Penix won the competition
Absolutely hilarious to think about what the situation would look like with the coaching equivalent of Knute Rockne running the WSU sidelines in 2023. We’d have the best evaluated and coached 3rd string QB in the conference manning the huddle. We’d have 3-4 kids that could run and hit! And 87 of the best walk ons in the conference that understood the importance of BiggsBall…1982 level blocking and tackling techniques that would make BSU and Walla Walla JC shake in their boots!No HC at a Power 5 school worth a shit is allowing 21 year old kids to make decisions that could negatively effect the university, the team or the brand.
They control everything. Or, at least coaches worth a shit do. Guys that are afraid to lead do as you described.

Bookface, Instagraham, twatter, and the inter webs don’t need to exist…we are doing things old skool!
this poster is worse than Al Bundy/Uncle RicoThis poster supports rapists.
it shows horrible judgement on wards part , and is dickert doesn't care he is an idiot. JDL is likely in his ear dissing WSU encouraging him to look elsewhereI think Ward can handle himself... And I promise you Dickert doesn’t give a shit nor should he. Two kids who play QB in the same conference throwing the ball around? Not a big deal
NoThere have been a lot of dumb threads on WazzuWatch and this ranks up there with the dumbest.
