Right so haynesworth is your argument that it does send the right signal? You are disagreeing with someone saying this was a bad move by showing that another bad move for what you consider to be similar reasons didn’t work.Again: I brought up Haynesworth because he's an example of BB bringing in someone with a less-than-sterling (putting it mildly) reputation. An example that, using Ninkovich's logic, would also "send the wrong signal."
You are the one introducing haynesworth into the discussion. Apparently you are saying haynesworth is proof that nink is wrong this sends a good message. Not sure what mental gymnastics got you there.Your response, of course, was oh well how did that work out, which is completely irrelevant to the questions of a.) what signal this sends and b.) what the probability is that Gordon pans out.
I’m not sure where this became a character assessment. It’s about football and availability.You're quite right, though. Haynesworth only had a lengthy college and pro history of getting in physical confrontations (aka beatdowns) with his teammates; was suspended for stomping the crap out of a guy; totally quit on the Redskins after having cashing in on a $100 million deal; was suspended by a team that would rather pay him to do nothing than put him on the field; crashed his Ferrari while driving >100MPH, partially paralyzing another driver; and beat a guy during a traffic altercation.
Oh, and then he was charged with reckless endangerment for trying to run another driver off the road (charges dropped), was sued for not paying child support, and was indicted for sexual assault after groping a waitress.
You know, after further examination, I think that Haynesworth might actually be worse than Gordon. Gordon may be an addict but Haynesworth was just a POS with no discernible redeeming qualities whatsoever.
If you seriously think haynesworth at the time he was brought in had a greater chance of losing eligibility or not showing up than Gordon then you are lying to yourself.
