Quote:No, I do support him ... Just noting the "Give him a break, he is good enough to deserve that opportunity" ... Which isn't all that much unlike affording a good defense versus a public defense attorney.

 

So many fans ready to forgive Blackmon on the same day of his suspension for nothing more than his upside to play the game ... If he were a Titans player? ... Burnt at the stake on this board  :yes: ... Hard to look down our noses just to feel better about ourselves. Isn't it?

 

Edit to add ... Has Kenny Britt been Rae Carruth(ish)?  I wouldn't quite tie Pacman in with those two (Hernandez/Carruth) :no:

Well said however it is more than just that he is good enough, he is also not bad enough in other tangible areas to justify throwing this kid away. If we were to combine his current transgressions with say a domestic violence charge then we are staring at a different animal.

 

If he were a Titan's player? I disagree with this concept a little bit here. Had the Titan's been victim of this I would surely not blame them for sticking with him.

 

Finally I will agree with you somewhat that we are turning a blind eye because of his potential. He is definitely a benefactor of being in the right place at the right time. If there is any franchise that has to dig under a rock to find reasons not to give up on players it would be ours. Hopefully this kid takes this last amnesty gift and runs with it. We sure do need him to be who we drafted him to be.
