everyone around here is saying he tested for marijuana.


This isn't a thing. They test for THC. Which occurs naturally in the body.

They are dumb. Take the time to read, not just grab a head line and run with it. No where does it state he failed a drug test because he smoked pot. Only dumb people come to that conclusion.

Or people that know Mett is one to smoke weed rather frequently


ETA: Just yesterday, one of his good friends told me Mett had plans to stop smoking a month before the draft. Whether or not he was able to quit is the question.

But its the injuries, not the drug test, that his him falling imo.

I have a friend on the Saints staff. He says that a diluted sample is considered by all pro teams to be a failed drug test. Every player and agent knows this.
Its called personal responsibility. This is your career...make sure you are doing everything right.

i would flag an nfl test every day the amount of water i drink.


Yeah, me too. On most days, I drink around 100 ounces of water a day and my pee is always crystal clear.

I am always walking around with a water bottle.

Didn't we have this discussion already?

A recap of previous threads. People break down into one of 5 categories:

1. People who think a diluted test is a positive test.
2. People who think its not.
3. People who think the test counts as strike one in the NFL substance abuse system.
4. People who say it doesn't.
5. People who say they know firsthand that Mett smokes weed like a chimney.

I'm done with arguing 1 through 4, but if #5 is true, he needs to be in rehab, not an NFL roster.

Weed is about to cost Josh Gordon the season.

So, if what some of these people say is true, Mett...clean yourself up..if not for yourself do it for your future teammates.

His test was merely diluted due to a large intake of water prior to the draft. It baffles me how some on this board still think he's smoking weed before the draft. Analyze the headlines, don't just regurgitate them. Jesus.


It amazes me that the so called draft experts on national tv only read headlines too.

A diluted sample is like drug testing 101. Everyone knows if your piss is too clear, it will be flagged. Mett is a moron.

One more time...

Josh Gordon of the Browns...their best receiver...is about to get suspended for the whole season because he can't stop smoking weed.

It doesn't matter what you or I or anyone else thinks about smoking marijuana. In the NFL, it puts you on the bench.

I'll add to this and say that NFL GMs clearly value the talent around Mett [Hill,Landry,OBJ & Turner] more than him. Shouldn't shock anyone that he'll probably be drafted on the last day. I think Murray will go ahead of him.

Hey...there are multiple posters here who are saying, "yeah he smokes...I've seen him smoke...I've smoked with him." Talk to them..they are why people are assuming this is over weed.

I'm not saying he doesn't need to quit, if in fact he is smoking. But rehab is for "addicts". It's like you're saying he's addicted to weed like a crack head or something.

by default I always go with this is just folks making up shite on a message board, but even if true, one has to question the character of someone who would rat out their buddy on a message board...
