There was a huge discussion on here last year about Stallworth and his accident/arrest/career/punishment, etc. here:

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/13999-stallworth-gets-30-days-for-murder.html

I thought about this last night watching the game and then PFT had an article on him today:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/13/donte-stallworth-returns-to-the-field/

A lot of people were unhappy about the situation and felt that he deserved more punishment... I argued at the time that jailtime or whatever was meaningless in this case, he was punished and further, he compensated the family...

I felt at the time that Stallworth was himself doing the right thing and that the judge in the case was too... now I'm sure of it.

A recent article from Les Carpenter of Yahoo! Sports suggests that Stallworth's return could have come a lot sooner, but for his decision to take full responsibility for the accident. Per Carpenter, Stallworth "ordered" his lawyers to accept a plea deal to felony DUI manslaughter despite evidence that easily created reasonable doubt as to whether Stallworth's legal intoxication actually "caused" Reyes' death. Put simply, Reyes was out of the crosswalk on a busy highway, and it's entirely possible that Stallworth would have struck and killed Reyes even if Stallworth had never consumed a drop of alcohol in his life.

Sounds to me like Stallworth is a pretty stand up guy.

      You're acting like Bryce put him out for the game and the week when that play happened at 4:01 in Q2. Renfrow was targeted four more times after that. Plus, a hospital ball is a poorly placed pass that puts the receiver in a dangerous position to take a big hit by being late or inaccurate.  Ball is out an on its way here. The catch is made at the 25yd line on the hash. Renfrow jumps for no reason and is airborne when he's hit. Bryce doesn't drift him over in front of the safety on the throw and as we can see from the capture that he had the right read. Could he have also waited a little longer for XL to pop up over the middle on the in route? You won't hear me disagree with that. Would have also likely netted more YAC than Renfrow would've considering positioning and momentum for both players. I like that option better than the one he took, but you're also not going to see me make 10 different threads about it like we've seen this week. 😮 Also worth noting that while Renfrow didn't need to jump for that ball that he did run a beautiful route to get open.
