If Andy wouod have won a SB or two you think they push him out? I was always under the impression they were unbappy with his ability to win the big game? As an Eagle fan, do you think they should have passed on Jalen Carter for his part in killing a guy? I do not personally, I wish tje Chiefs could have got him....i'm just curious about a Philly fan perspective on those 2 issues?
...and how ya been my man? Good to see ya postin!!
I've been good! I hope you're doing well!
I'll get straight to it....lol.
I do not think Jalen Carter or even Michael Vick are even comparable situations here. As I said, I'm all about second chances.
Carter was/is a kid that did something really stupid. In fact, it's something really stupid that many of us have done before we were smart enough to know better.
Hell, I'll admit it....I drove a car over 150 at one point and a bike over 160. I'm probably lucky to even be here when I look back at some of the stupid shit I did at 16-23 or so.
This is even different that my situation, though. I think when an organization in the NFL gives a second chance, they have all the resources and a DUTY to make sure that a second chance is not a Britt Reid type of situation. You want to hire your son with the recent past he has had? The organization should have said, "We saw what happened in Philadelphia with your kids, AT THE VERY LEAST...we're going to have a support system and testing in place to make sure he is not a black eye on the organization."
Instead, they ignored the road rage incident, then it was all about just mopping up the Ariel Young incident and sweeping it under the rug. Which is another point of contention for me. The organization could have used that to point out the dangers of driving drunk, substance abuse, and etc. They didn't do that. I would probably STILL feel differently if they would be putting that in the forefront.
Irt, Andy not winning the big one and the sole reason he was fired? Who knows? If he had won the SB that year, does it change things? I don't know. All I know is what I was told. That those what should be off the field distractions were actually being injected straight into the organization.
As I said, I don't blame all of Cheifs fans for all of this. Just the ones that choose to ignore it and excuse it.
Have a good one, lite! We've still gotta get together for that cold one sometime!
