ko12010 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The Bills should have cut this bum last year - Jerry Sullivan. Dude has had a tough life and had a bad offseason. A game is fair and hopefully, it's the wake up call so he can finish up a Hall of Fame career. He has that type of talent and only injuries and himself can stop him. I don't really see how it's fair, honestly. I know we are all glad that it wasn't more than 1 game, but still, why was he even suspended at all? First offense, it is a non banned substance, wasn't he cited not arrested (not sure on this), and he entered a pre-trial program right away. But really, it's about this being the first substance offense, and can it even be called an offense if it's for something the NFL doesn't ban? I know Goodell has final say on what constitutes breaking the personal conduct policy, but I'm still confused on this. How does Dareus' situation compare to other first time 'offenders'? Has every first timer been suspended or has it been inconsistent? I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 seems fair, will be tough to miss that specific game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 seems fair, will be tough to miss that specific game. I think they can still generate plenty of pressure on Luck by scheme even with Dareus not being in there and there's no real reason to fear Indy's running game.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 @mikerodak If there’s a game for Dareus to miss, the Colts’ one isn’t bad. Yes, they have Gore, but that’s a 3-4 WR team. Run D not as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Getting caught with a substance not banned by the NFL and complying with the courts by entering the pre-trial diversion program and voluntarily entering the NFL's substance abuse program. The league knew all that already and decided on a 1gamd suspension. What's the usual the usual "substance abuse" suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Don't appeal and tick Roger off like Brady** is doing , or he might remember the little driving mishap by Mr Big Stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not sure for substances not banned by the NFL. Was domestic violence specifically banned by the NFL? This is personal conduct policy stuff, which is not the same as substance abuse policy. Get arrested, face a possible suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Not sure for substances not banned by the NFL. Why is he entering the NFL's substaance abuse program then? By entering he seems to have surrendered your basis for appeal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Why is he entering the NFL's substaance abuse program then? By entering he seems to have surrendered your basis for appeal... He entered it as an act of good faith. I don't think he had to, since spice isn't banned by the NFL. And the basis for my appeal is that he didn't shy-away from admitting he did something wrong and complied with the court and voluntarily entered into the SAP. It would seem that that would/should count for something, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that that would/should count for something, but I guess not. I think it did account for something. I think personally, that that's why he only got a game. Dareus has to be smart about however he approaches his appeal. He still has to deal with the drag racing issue and if he decides to fight hard on this one, could get the hammer dropped on him for the next. If I were an agent to any NFL player, I would tell them emphatically to PUT DOWN THE WEED. You're just being a moron and jeopardizing a multi-million dollar career to do so. Stop being stupid.

He wasn't going to get credit by the NFL for that. That was obvious long ago. Entering the SAP is what prevented him form getting a longer suspension.

machine gun kelly Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Another effort by the NFL to promote Andrew Luck despite his perpetual crapiness? The best QB coming out of the draft in 10 years who is the most pro ready is perpetually crappy? Your kidding right. He has carried that team with mediocre talent for a couple of years. That doesn't mean I'm happy losing one of our top players on defense for the game, but we do have depth on the line. It was a very fair penalty and I'm sure he is now in the program so he'll be tested a lot. That concerns me he'll get suspended again if marijuana is his drug of choice. You just hope the big payday is enough for him to stay clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
