ExWNYer Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Interesting to ponder but I didn't vote 'yes' or 'no' just because I believe it's a moot point with this organization. It's irrelevant what we want or think they should do. Color me surprised if they actually pursue him.

Too sensitive a topic to overlook office a ball pass on. He has only gotten worse with alcohol fueled behavior as a pro. See response above As a season ticket holder and father with 2 daughters I hope we pass. Those were business decisions (easy ones). She's a company owner all the way, just like her husband and all of the other NFL owners. Has she ever commented on any of these domestic violence episodes in the NFL since 2014? I found this: "She describes the cases she has heard about as "disturbing," but expresses confidence in the steps taken to address the issue by Commissioner Roger Goodell."

Oh really? -That "'pushed her with his foot" nonsense sure sounded like an excuse to me. A P.O.S. excuse, -but an excuse nonetheless. Glad it wasn't your daughter he 'pushed with his foot'. 1

I assumed you were intelligent enough to distinguish between "on-field" and "off-field" but perhaps I gave you too much credit.

Can't go after an NFL RB's Pink Champale like that and not expect to get "pushed with his foot"........ 1

I am not worried about how his talent level is viewed or what he could do for the team. At some point personal integrity and character have to count for something. I still feel he's only sorry because he got caught. There are guys that are talented who will make an impact in this league and for our team, but are better men than him. Just my 2. ^^^^^This. I thought it was telling that his journey of personal rediscovery and anger mgmt or whatever you want to call it, conveniently began 5 minutes after the tape dropped and the heat was turned up. I don’t buy he’s made too many heart changes but would love to be wrong about that. Everyone can be redeemed, but they have to want it. Otherwise it’s all for show and means nothing. 2

GunnerBill Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 1 hour ago, Magox said: I sincerely hope that the Bill's try to sign him. First off, although what he did was out of line, it was not a career ending egregious act. Secondly, he is young and beginning to enter into his prime. Third, he is an excellent receiving back. Fourth, hes a really good higher end starting RB in this league. Fifth, he doesnt have an extensive history of these sort of things and the locker room is established enough to take him on. And lastly, we would be able to pick up a quality Offensive starter without expending a draft pick. I think your reason 5 is wrong. Not in that every event involves women but it is the 2nd fight that is public knowledge and there are rumours of two other incidents too. I think you would have to be convinced it is a one off and I am not sure you could be. 1
KollegeStudnet Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I say, yay! ?? Second chances are great and deserved

YoloinOhio Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Just draft one. He’s a good player but not irreplaceable.

To me there is too much doubt to even take the risk. If it genuinely was a one off then I'd view it differently. But it isn't.
K-9 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 4 hours ago, PlayoffsPlease said: I am not a big fan of employers acting as law enforcement , even the NFL. These events happened outside the NFL, and to me are a matter for law enforcement to deal with as it sees fit. In what way, shape, or form is an employer acting as law enforcement?

They handed out a punishment (which is the job of a court, not the NFL, in my opinion) . I don't care for lynch mobs either.
