Re: OT: Letting Matt Schaub go could cost Atlanta
I know you're just trying to stir the pot... and you've won... I'll bite.
See prior posts about Meriweather. You can't go defending Meriweather & then trash Vick. They both have not been arrested for a single thing.
You, sir/maam, are blinded by the media. They report before they have all the facts.
What was Vick arrested or convicted of again ? Absolutely NOTHING. Yes, there's some pretty questionable judgement with providing gifts to relatives who aren't smart people. We're not talking about 2 DUIs or bringing Firearms illegally into a club or whatnot.
The Falcons have no reason to believe Vick will be suspended for any games this year, and neither do NFL fans who actually follow up on the misleading headlines. Injuries are always a possibility, so if you want to blame them for that, then fine.
Please note that Schaub would've been a FA in the offseason & left for nothing. The Falcons chose to get value while they could.
Everyone's just a little too paranoid that Goodell is just going to go around suspending folks left & right. Goodell & the folks have the NFL office have done their homework. They know they can't afford to hand out a suspension that won't stand up in an appeal. They're not just randomly throwing out suspensions to make headlines. There's a reason for this.
