“[Y]our union conveyed to the league that due process for players is not a luxury, it’s a right,” Smith told the executive committee and player representatives.  “While the league currently has great concern for its brand, fairness and justice for our members is more important.  For us, the starting point for these discussions must be the desire to agree upon a fair personal conduct policy and domestic violence rules from a standpoint of prevention and education.  We will not accept a world where all players are viewed as perpetrators first and husbands, fathers, sons and brothers second.”

It’s an important point, because the NFL’s current seat-of-the-pants approach to accusations against players has resulted in two of them (Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy) being presumed guilty, not innocent.  Ultimately, a fair and consistent process is needed to determine when players will be allowed to play in the face of accusation, and when they won’t be.

No agreements were made or decisions reached on Tuesday.  The two sides have agreed to meet again, soon.

Im at the gym on mobile and just saw on espn that the nfl and nflpa are meeting today about the personal conduct policy. Anyone know how this affects greg hardy moving forward or anymore info for that matter?

Actually we all just got done with the conference call with the League, you should request to be added to the distro so as to not miss any future meetings/conference calls.

NFLPA said they are standing up for due process of their players and that is more important than the league saving face on media/public pressure. Could effect hardy but nothing solid came from the talks today. They will most likely meet again in November.

 

Thank you, I have updated OP.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
