I'd argue it's probably a bit higher.  Many of these players have been protected from consequences a fair amount of times. Add in the money they have that can both open the door to more opportunities to make poor decisions and give them an out to buy their way out of trouble.

 

Johnny Factory Worker assaults his spouse, he's going to jail. Super speedy NFL WR does the same and gets a record setting contract.

Oh I didn' t mean the percentage of folks who get caught or "revealed", I meant the percentage of scumbags who would lay hands on a woman for any reason other than self defense.

We cannot blame Beane for Miller getting hurt but Benne did not do enough background checks on Miller because there were reports of cocaine use by his former girlfriend and another baby mama.

 

This was not a good signing based on noise of that and his age at the time of signing.  The Raven got LB Roquan Smith for a second and 5th rounder,  signed him for less money and he was 25 at the time of trade.  That makes sense for both present and future,  I never liked the idea of giving a guy 33 years old so much guaranteed money

That's a bit more possible. However, I'd still argue that the NFL players that can and would do something like that is higher because they aren't used to being held accountable. 

 

Add in that some take different "medications" to help build muscle, lessen pain and have had repeated blows to the head...perhaps their self control isn't the same as regular folks as well.

So we shouldn't take a shot to try and go over the top?  

You don't take a shot with a 35 year old has been with injuries and potential play decline and injury risk due to age and pay him 100$m and structure the contract with no outs.  It was a terrible signing then, and worse today for said risks I mentioned and we are seeing.  No one expected this though, and most fans are looking at it as a way to get out of the contract it's soo bad

Signing high profile players in FA rarely make an impact commensurate to their contract, especially if over 30. Anyone who follows the nfl knows this. Beane should be ashamed.

Is this always about Josh? 

 

What exactly did Poyer and Hyde do to hurt Josh.  They are warriors. 


It kind of is.. considering he’s the reason we have a team/organization with Championship aspirations. 
 

Whatever happens, this organization needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and decide whether they’re going to go all in around their elite QB or keep acquiring and/or holding onto defensive assets the HC clearly advocates for. 
 

Hyde & Poyer will always be Bills legends.  But we held onto them for a year too long.   Same will go for Tre this off-season.. it sucks, but a hard convo needs to be had about his future here. 
 

We can’t keep holding onto our previous Championship window if we ever want to get to the next Championship window. 
 

The Offense is in a good spot for next year.  We can realistically bring back the entire OL (which is a top

5 unit) plus Diggs, Shakir, Kincaid, Cook and Knox.   Do we go all in and get Allen a top WR or two in this Draft, maybe our future Center early?  
 

Or do we try keep bandaging a defense that simply needs to have a machete taken to it, infuse a ton of cheap youth into it and take some early season lumps on that side of the ball like KC did last year on the way to a Super Bowl.

assaulting a woman is about as anti a "process" as there is. Accountability, character, excellence?

 

The optics of this are awful. I dont judge him guilty he IS presumed innocent. I do know he will hire the best lawyer money can be and probably this goes away sooner rather than later criminally.   I hope he didn't do it. Laying hands on any woman is  bad  but while  pregnant?  That's beyond the pale

Here come the he’s guilty until proven innocent crowd lol

This isn’t a violation. He was apparently charged with a felony. 
 

police don’t just do that based upon a whim of a woman.  There needs to be decent evidence.  Photos. Proof. 
 

this doesn’t look good at all
