DJ Moore was the correct selection over Calvin Ridley.

To the folks who like to say that character issues don't matter...

Stuff like this is why they kinda do

Don't remember, but that's not the point.

There are plenty of guys with known character questions, yet we still have folks who argue to sign guys like Josh Gordon, Justin Blackmon, heck even Titus Young.

As has been repeated many times, don't put yourself in the position of having to rely on someone who's known to be unreliable.

I was just thinking the same thing.  I still think Moore is a better overall receiver than Ridley anyhow.

I'd take Moore over and over again.  

[SJTFG]

DJ Moore needs to start getting in the end zone

Word was Norv Turner wanted him big time.

ahh, thought maybe he had some issues coming out.

I do agree thought that I think some people devalue the off the field issues.  When you are using a high draft pick I would think you would want to mitigate risk, especially when there is usually a 2nd option that you have rated fairly closely.

Nope. He was a first rounder

I hate the Falcons as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.

Ridley gets suspended for a year for a $1,500 bet, prompting Roger Goodell to say this poo:

"Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in professional football, and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL."

What a hypocritical piece of poo. The NFL doesn't have any integrity to risk. I don't remember him ever coming out against any of the wife beaters or the drunk drivers or the owners getting hand jobs at massage parlors with a statement this strong.

Technically speaking they are still investigating the whole "Pay to lose" thing in Miami. An NFL player betting on games could be looked upon as along the same style since they could possibly be involved in fixing some of those bets and falling into that "risking the integrity of the game" category. Not saying Calvin WAS but I can see where the argument comes from.
