He did a horrible thing and there is no forgetting that.. He has shown remorse and paid for his crime. If Greg had done the same it might be a different story for him..

Is stuff done in youth suppose to effect the rest of your life?? Is that fair?? Alot of us would be fuged if true..

Let's be real if the kid wasn't greatly talented nobody would give a fug.. But he is so why not take advantage of the value of getting a 1st round talent in the 4th??

Yeah, he should be. I hope the guy has truly learned from that situation, has become a better man from it, and goes on to do great things in the community.

Someone will give him a chance, but it sure as hell won't be us and I don't have a problem with that.

So are we now and forever forbidden in taking anybody with a troubled past??

That seems like cutting down the talent pool we can have.. Which only hurts us.

He's a first round talent easily.  But, the way they run this team, no chance.

Anyone with a troubled past? No. We drafted Worley last year when he'd been arrested for assault and battery.

But, there's a big difference between "troubled past" and knocking out a woman on video. Ray Rice was an elite NFL RB and got essentially blackballed from the league for doing that.

There are plenty of talented players who also have high character so that we can pass on this one without feeling like we missed anything. It isn't as if he is so skilled or unique that we have to take any chances he turns into the same kind of problem Hardy did. There are plenty of great options throughout the draft.

I don't think he should be off our board. Look what he did was wrong but the dude is only 20, our brains aren't fully developed, especially our prefrontal cortex which governs a lot of our decision making, until we're 25. I don't think that serves as an excuse for what he did by any means but I don't think he shouldn't be given a chance because of that incident. If he shows good character in his combine, pro day, interviews and what else I think we should at least keep him on our boards but that won't happen.

He was a young kid he made a mistake and owned up to it..

He has already been punished and will be punished more by not getting drafted where his talent says he should be...

Just being honest... why not take advantage of this situation..

And lets be honest..

If Ray Rice wasn't already in decline before the incident he would be on a team now. 

Let Elliot do the same thing and see what happens..

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
