Quote:My wrong opinion? My opinion had nothing to do with your post count, it had everything to do with the WR's we've had and the potential we've lost man.... so yeah keep having your opinions bro but take them to another team please! 

 

Perhaps you should take your opinions to another team if you get so upset by other fans of a team having different opinions to you.


You're effectively saying that if we'd cut Reggie Williams in 2006 then Blackmon wouldn't have been suspended, right? Somehow seeing that the team is hard on substance abuse would have given him the ability to avoid his problems? Either that's what you're saying (which is patently ridiculous) or you don't have a point, as you're claiming the reason for coming down hard on Sanders is to set an example to others. If that example isn't going to have any effect, there's no point in setting it.


In fact your policy sets the example that the best thing to do with a problem is to keep it hidden rather than try to fix things. Which as a team is a bad thing - you'd rather not have players with substance abuse problems, but if they have those problems, you'd rather have them fixed than have the player wasted (in more than one sense...) If a player with a substance abuse problem refuses to try to address it, that's the time for cutting them loose.

 

Of course, if you take that attitude with you to another team, you'll pretty soon run out of NFL teams. Better hope for expansion, get to love the CFL, or learn to accept dissenting opinions.
