Her whole "fair warning" argument for 6 games is a bit odd when this has been going on for over a year. Also the "first offense" argument is also strange considering he repeated the behavior over and over again, just didn't get busted.

This guy was probably the lead dude with a pitchfork and torch when the mob came after Jerry Richardson though.  You know, a few NDA's and promoted 'jeans Friday'.  Hell, half this board couldn't run him out of BOA fast enough.

As someone who works in the arena, I can promise you that someone doesn’t privately pay out multi millions of dollars, hand out non disclosures like candy, and not only give up a billion dollar business they’ve worked hard for from the scratch, but have absolutely nothing to do with it, and disappear completely for something small.

Surely, you can muster up the brainpower to comprehend that.

It really is a shame his money and NDAs bought innocence and public option, including you. We will never truly know. But money and NDAs should look guilty, not innocent.

I was going to respond but it's no need. I'm black. Why would I think slavery is a misunderstanding? Because I don't have my pitchfork out wanting Watson's head? Smh 

🤣 Ok nice try. You keep defending a rapist.

You're correct, Richardson did something wrong.  To what level we will never know.  What got leaked was immoral by Jerry, but criminal.  What's laughable is what gets passed off as morality just a few years later.  However, I personally believe what he did was peanuts to what Dan Snyder, Bob Kraft and likely Jerry Jones have done.  Still NFL owners.  Richardson was old school enough that his family name means something.  The likes of Snyder is a guy could care less what stench surrounds his name as long as he gets to keep his money and his team. Compared to Watson, although a player not an owner, not even in the same freaking universe and the dude gets 6 games on a heavily back-loaded deal buffering said suspension.  So dude gets a mini vacation while keeping his job. Brutal!  He still had to pay the women---you said admission of guilt, correct?  His record setting deal barely will have a dent put in it by the time the payouts are complete.

Also a a guy that has been in management for many, many, years, I can tell you it's not unlike someone to get their feelings hurt and start throwing around terms like hostile work environment, when 99% of the time it's their fault in the first place.  Broken policy+discipline=butt hurt.  So over the years, I could see Richardson may have made an enemy or two within the organization.  Again the extent he told someone he allowed jeans Fridays because he like how women look in jeans is immoral, but not criminal.

...based on this statement alone, you should definitely not be a manager.

But your "they were asking for it" attitude goes a long way to explaining why you're a sexual assault apologist.

The NFL is in a tough spot of it's own making. The process was setup to provide the appearance that an impartial 3rd party would make rulings, then the NFL did the worst thing possible - they only submitted four cases. 

Why?

Likely a couple of reasons:

1. Timing. This needed to be completed before the season started.

2. They expected that the evidence in the four cases would be enough to result in a significant penalty. The problem is, the arbitrator chose to include precedent. Her hands were essentially tied to previous bad decision making and the amount of evidence couldn't override the precedent (in her mind).

It gets worse. If the NFL imposes a stricter punishment, lawsuits will be the result. Watson will play until the case makes it way through court. This could take a while. In the meantime, it is very likely Watson would be able to play THE ENTIRE SEASON this year. Court processes are not speedy.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
