As I recall Bettis wound up going to the Bears in 1963. There was no room for him aby more.
WHOOPS!
Stupid is as stupid does. Not sure you can fix stupid.
This was at the very least Strike 2 and a half and ONLY because he didn't get himself ejected again.Funny, I never saw much blow back over Kenny Clark's penalty against the Saints, when he tossed a guy like a rag doll. Walker plays pretty solid defense (one of the few players to do so) Thursday night, gets an admittedly stupid penalty on special teams and this is how fans react? Now maybe LeFleur was just protecting Quay, but as Matt said "We gotta do a better job of educating players as to what the rules are, so that's on me".
This is how players improve, they learn by their mistakes. Quay's learning curve is rising and I am still very happy with him in Green and Gold.

Are you saying that if he commits another personal foul or messes up, you would cut him?
Don't have to cut him. Players are motivated by other factors.Are you saying that if he commits another personal foul or messes up, you would cut him?
Bench him for a game or 2?
IF the other instances cost the team 3 games 100%
Special teams coach should be reviewing those rules, technique, and positioning in preseason every year. Then practice it. Playground methods are natural and aggressive. Much of what was legal throughout the history of the league is no longer.Funny, I never saw much blow back over Kenny Clark's penalty against the Saints, when he tossed a guy like a rag doll.

The two times he was ejected last year, so that we had an inferior player in his position and specifically this week's game YES
You said 3 games:
Packers have had other players ejected over the years or committed silly egotist penalties. Johnny Jolley comes to mind. Teams used to be able to impose their own fines and discipline. This team as a whole commits too many penalties. And one saving grace is that our opponents have been right up there as well. All the X's and O's are great but coaching is the key to discipline and we are lacking there. Mentorship needs to come from veterans on the team. This year we do not really have many in that category. The veterans on the Packers during the Reggie-LeRoy era as well as the Driver-Woodson time did a pretty good job of it. The last group did not. I recall in 2001 we had a relatively easy game against Atlanta at home. One of our secondary named Chris Akins lines up in the neutral zone, precedes the snap into the backfield, and even after a whistle grabs the QB and slams his head into the ground. It cost us the game. Butler had gotten hurt earlier and was out of the game and in the locker room. Needless to say Mike Sherman chewed the kid out on the sideline and the next day he was no longer a Green Bay Packer.
Let's start with the Buffalo game. YES the backups are that bad. We saw that last year, we're seeing it this year.
Major stretch to say all of this AND Quays 3 different penalties cost the Packers 3 games! Think what you want, I fully disagree and think it is a total over-reaction on your part.
