Josh's taunt & TD's hit = Odell's punch?


O-Ther

Recommended Posts

Odell punched Buffalo safety Duke Williams in their game this past Sunday and was fined $8,681.00  Here is the video

Odell upset he was legally de-cleated during INT return

Josh was fined the same amount for waving at Jags QB while heading to the endzone. TD Sr. was also fined the same amount for landing on a player late. Is it just me or does it feel like Odell is getting exceptionally light treatment when compared to our guys? If the NFL would add a game or two suspension to Odell's fine, it would seem more fair, but as it is, seems like a large-market team's player is getting preferential treatment from the league again.

i don't think the nfl is actively deciding that these actions are equivalent. the penalty probably encompasses a wide variety of offenses and penalizes them uniformly, regardless of where on the scale of bad to awful the offense actually falls.

maybe the nfl should review that policy though.

Unless it could be argued that he hurt a big tough football player's feeling so much it felt like a late hit or a punch, Norman's "offense" wasn't even in the same realm. TD's late hit probably was on par with the punch (if not worse, if you actually saw the punch...).

Damn, I didn't realize you had to cough up 17 grand for a horse collar tackle.  But I don't see taunting on this list.

That list only encompasses offenses against officials and player safety rules violations. Taunting would be under a separate section not shown in the image that would also include offensive celebrations like Von Miller's thrusting.

unless it is something outside the box/game....all actions and punishments are spelled out pretty clear in regards to actual "football" fines/punishments.

also, you could easily argue what Davis did was much more dangerous than Beckham.

Those fines seem pretty tiny considering what these guys make and that some of these offenses can end someones season or career. 

Median salary in the NFL is only $800k-ish. Only the select few who make it to their 2nd contract make huge money. 1% of their entirely yearly income is pretty significant.

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
