New policy requires on-field players, personnel to stand for anthem

Regardless of what side of the argument you're on, it seems like a reasonable agreement.  You can stay in the locker room if you want to and do whatever you want during the anthem.  No penalty or repercussions.  But if you're on the field during the anthem, you stand.

Both sides win.

/Issue

I wonder which side will be the first to take issue with a good old fashioned compromise?

Yeah. Peppers did this last year too.

I have a better idea: don't get your panties in a wad over what someone else does during the national anthem. The real failure of American freedom is our inability to allow others to practice theirs in a way we disagree with without feeling like we have to vehemently abuse ours in retaliation. And that is how all of our "freedoms" end up as a farce.

Now we just need a league personnel that works on the sideline to announce that he/she is a Jehovah's Witness or other religion that does not stand for the flag and this new policy, which effects league personel as well as the players, is discriminatory to his/her religious beliefs to blow this policy up. Make it all one big poo show.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
