Kyyle23 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Cowboys should release him now, but there isn't a chance in hell Jerry Jones would do that. I think Jerry is gonna follow through on that long term deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I wish injury on Greg Hardy, Jerry Jones is a complete piece of s*** for employing him and the NFL should be ashamed for allowing him in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Even before today, it was a well-known fact that Hardy is an asshole who shouldn't be in the league. How he's playing for the Cowboys and Ray Rice is unemployed is beyond me. No, I'm not saying Rice > Hardy, I'm saying they're equally terrible.

Jerry Jones is a moron, but it's not hard to see why Hardy is playing and Rice isn't. Hardy is a Pro Bowler and Rice is garbage. But as people, they're both garbage, and while I watch a lot of Cowboys, I can't watch that moron on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the NFL's credit, they did try to suspend him 10 games, which then get reduced to four in arbitration. With the power of the players union, I'm not sure how easy it would be to suspend him again for longer or ban him. Now teams choosing to sign him is another discussion altogether.

Players get deserved suspensions and they always get reduced. Take Tom Brady, for example. Less extreme than Hardy, of course, but he still deserved to be suspended and it didn't happen.

farmteam Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ESPN's article on the deadspin piece today was laughably/sadly predictable. It postured it as deadspin just releasing photos of the girlfriend's injuries, and was using a bunch of pictures of Hardy and her looking happy as a couple.

LittleHurt05 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's amazing that NFL teams still put late game decisions in the hands of their coaches. Falcons FG try late today was the perfect example, they would have been better off had he missed. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/11/8/9694...oal-why-why-WHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) NFL coaches are just so ridiculously conservative. They are so scared of criticism for thinking outside of the box, they'd rather just lose following the same old decisions that have been made for decades. It took nearly getting fired for Ron Rivera to start coaching aggressively and it definitely hasn't hurt the Panthers. One of these days a new younger GM is gonna recognize this problem and put somebody in charge of nothing but those decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 09:13 PM) NFL coaches are just so ridiculously conservative. You can say that again. Punting is the best example. I can't remember the actual statistical findings, but it's evident that teams punt too much and go for field goals too often. If it's 4th and less than three, regardless of field position, coaches should go for it. If it's fourth and less than 7 and you're inside your opponents 40, you should go for it.

I'm not a GM, but it's crazy that the coaches repeatedly make the same mistakes with games and seasons on the line. That would put every punter in the league out of a job. I just assumed that teams were already doing something like that. You'd think they would at least have some kind of situational plans in place. Yes, no more need for punters, but the play clock would need to be increased to 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
