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..

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.

      I wouldn't even bet on us winning the NFC South. All four teams had excellent Drafts.
