NFL policy may be changing a tad...

First....great win and feels good.Bring on the Lions for win #2. Check out the new TMZ sports video of Rice cold cocking his now "wife" on the elevator camera.She hit him first,then he throws a haymaker to the head. Tried to link it but could not get it to work.Posted this on the football central site,but also brought it here since it relates indirectly to a Panther player..The NFL says that it will take all cases on an indivual basis and dole out punishment as they see fit, so they may be backtracking on the mandatory 6 games..Once this goes viral the NFL will have to give Rice 6 games.Hardy may only get the 2 since his case is he said/she said even if convicted by the jury.Hope we cold cock the Ravens like that P.O.S did to that woman...hit first or not.

Further proof that Goodell is a fuging idiot.  Obviously the video was going to get out eventually.  How can you justify a two game suspension when there is ocular proof of an NFL player spitting on his woman and then hitting her with a left?  Of course Goodell had to backtrack after that. Rice should have been hammered.

If Goodell were to retroactively increase the length of Rice's punishment, after already dealing it out, everyone would come after him. Rice's lawyer, his agent, the Ravens and the NFLPA. I recently heard the Executive Director of the NFLPA do a radio interview, and when discussing the Rice case, he sounded exactly like the piece of poo lawyer everyone would expect him to be. Goodell would have a total poo storm on his hands.

 

In other words, it would take brass balls to make the decision and say, "Not only did I get it wrong, but when confronted with this evidence, I have no choice but do the right thing, do what society demands, and extend the term of the punishment." Everyone is expecting Goodell to cover his ass and leave it the way it is. Now is the time to prove he won't be held hostage by the NFLPA and lawyers, and he is in fact the law and order commissioner he claims to be. Let's see.

    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
    • On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
