If all the time off for Hardy, Peterson, Rice, etc. is not considered punishment by the league, why ever suspend anyone. The only true punishment through that logic is fine the crap out of them.

It's not about punishment for the players. It's about the league taking a stance to remove players who do not abide by the law from the public eye. In other words, it's a PR move, nothing more, nothing less.

Like that meaningless playoff game to go to the NFC championship?

Yes, meaningless. It's still just a game. The vast majority of players would've gladly switched places with Greg this past season.

Option A-

Risk your health and damage your body playing a dangerous sport, maintain a strict diet and workout regime, spend countless hours in meetings, and deal with media and reporters.

Option B-

Do whatever the hell you want all year and still get paid.

I bet you a thousand dollars that Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly would slap the taste out of your mouth just for saying this.

You know nothing. 95% of players would rather compete in a playoff game than get paid and be forced not to play. Very very very few NFL players don't absolutely love playing the game.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
