[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 490922, member: 7277"] So the argument is just based on your subjective judgment on how bad the violation is? Is Vick (who you said you were hoping we would give another chance in the NFL) 4 times as bad because he spent 4 times as long in prison? Also, even if we're going to say that Jolly is just "average", if he can be average right now, vets minimum is a pretty good value for someone who can rotate on the D-line. And again -- let's look beyond just the black and white of the arrests and going to prison. Jolly is not a violent criminal. I don't think anyone would say that. Jolly is a guy who had a codeine problem. It's not like he was in school zones selling drugs to kids. He had an addiction. What is the harm of giving him a chance at the minimum to at least try to earn a spot in training camp? If he's not one of the top 53, then no harm no foul. Do you really think anyone is going to care or remember that we gave a former player with a former codeine problem a shot in training camp at a job? And if so, why would it be viewed negatively? No one is handing Jolly anything. If he can't hack it anymore, he's gone - we risk nothing. If he can and is willing to bust his butt for it and EARNS a spot, damn right he deserves that spot regardless of his past. [/QUOTE]
