Commanders sign Junior Galette

[SkinsHokieFan]

So Commanders fans = GMSM on Hardy?

 

[SkinsHokieFan]

So in this thread it appears we have 3 things going on

1) Jim Haslet is an amazing designer of blitzes (even though he can't sniff another NFL job)

2) Somehow Commanders fans opinion on a random message board about Greg Hardy= Scot M's and therefore GMSM is a liar?

3) The Commanders signed a no risk deal with a productive player = they are desperate.

I honestly have no idea where Asthma is going with this nonsense. Point number 1 essentially eliminates the poster from any serious football discussion

Was he also "terrible" last year when your team still employed him or does that label only apply after someone leaves?

2) Somehow Commanders fans opinion on a random message board about Greg Hardy= Scot M's and therefore GMSM is a liar?

He's a liar because he said he wasn't going to sign poor character guys and then he went out and did just that. Not hard to figure out.

3) The Commanders signed a no risk deal with a productive player = they are desperate.

They got into bed with a dog and now they get to enjoy the fleas. Say whatever you want about Hardy, but there's no video evidence of him doing what he was accused of. And his teammates campaigned for him to come back rather than the Saints throwing a party after Gallette got bounced!

Yes he was, and he was terrible in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 as well. That was a pretty uniform opinion across Commanders land over his 5 year tenure. He really only did well against Tony Romo specifically. I understand that Cowboy fans are in awe of Haslett because of his bizzare vodoo owning of Romo, but I can't take an opinion seriously by a guy who claims "Haslett was great at designing blitzes that confused QBs"

No, he was good at designing blitzes that confused Tony Romo.

He's a liar because he said he wasn't going to sign poor character guys and then he went out and did just that. Not hard to figure out.

Who cares. Guy is playing for the vet minimum. Not hard to figure out its easy to get rid of him at little cost

Again, who cares. The guy is playing on a 1 year deal for the vet minimum. If he screws up, he is gone. If he balls out, he can either be re-signed or (my opinion only) guys like him and Knighton will be allowed to leave via FA so GMSM can collect more comp picks down the line.

On that point, we can agree. As a Cowboys fan, I'm glad he's gone. His defenses helped the Skins win games against us that they had no business winning.

No, just costs your dignity.

Because he's a proven turd and a guy who his teammates hated.

I am glad you finally saw that I was correct here.

No, just costs your dignity.

Its the NFL, nobody has dignity, especially a guy playing for the vet minimum.

Because he's a proven turd and a guy who his teammates hated.

Which is why he was voted team captain by those teammates?

And at this point can be released for no cost at all, meaning this is a no risk move.

 

[Stash]

Yeah, we agree he gave the Cowboys troubles.

Vet minimum doesn't mean you didn't bring a rat onto the ship.

Which is why he was voted team captain?

And at this point can be released for no cost at all, meaning this is a no risk move.

Yeah, which had most of the organization scratching their heads. And the team couldn't wait to pay him a TON of money to GO AWAY.

The team's image and dignity is tarnished. There's damage done already. That's risk already.

 

[SkinsHokieFan]

I'll judge him on his behavior in DC.

The team's image and dignity is tarnished. There's damage done already. That's risk already.

God forbid an NFL team has a "tarnished" image and dignity already gone.

Best case: Junior balls out and improves his image, gets paid somewhere

Worst case: Junior is released. Nothing lost for the Commanders.

The "end of the world" jumping to conclusions in this thread is laughable. In particular for a guy on a vet minimum, no risk deal.

 

[Stash]

And you can do that. You can control what you think. What you cant do is control what anyone else thinks.

Hey, you just keep on removing those stadium seats. Remain calm, all is well.

What's "laughable" is you selling your soul for a proven, hated, turd because your team is bereft of talent.

You get to lie to yourself, but no one else.

 

[SkinsHokieFan]

And you can do that. You can control what you think. What you cant do is control what anyone else thinks.

I am not sure where "selling your soul" is on a 1 year prove it deal.

What is laughable is the moral pontificating in this thread, when it comes to the NFL and players involved. That is part of the deal when you sign up to cheer on 20 something millionaires who play a violent game.

 

[Stash]

I am not sure where "selling your soul" is on a 1 year prove it deal.

I told you exactly where. It's getting into bed with a proven scumbag. With video evidence to positively prove it. You and your team were willing to sell your soul and tell yourselves that it's OK, because Gallette is better than what you have.

Again, tell yourself whatever you need to in order to justify it to yourself. Just don't try to sell it to anyone else.

Nobody is selling anything. What has made me laugh at you and Asthma in this thread is this moral police when it comes to the NFL (along with your high opinion of Jim Haslett, which calls into question your football knowledge in general)

Seeing you go on and on about it on a guy being paid the least amount possible has been hilarious to me today. For all we know he screws up tomorrow and is cut with no cost to the team and everyone forgets about it by Week 1. Perhaps the Stasheroo moral outrage will have moved on by then

How does a cellar dweller with no prospects 'laugh' at anything? Considering you and your team have no shot at anything close to success this year, I would think you'd have very little to laugh about at all.

And now you've resorted to picking up lowlifes like Gallete. Just when you think the bar can't get any lower...

But your low standards will remain intact. Seeing me go on and on? Who's the guy so vociferously defending this turd? That'd be you. Looks pretty hypocritical.

You can search around here for my reaction when this clown's name was first brought up upon his release. It's remained consistent.

I haven't defended the turd at all. I am laughing at your head in the sand thinking we cheer for good guys.

You look at my posting history here or ES (10k posts plus, so plenty to look at) I have never been the moral police. I accept the fact there are bad guys who produce, and short of killing people (well maybe not, look at Ray Lewis), as long as a guy produces, its all good.

I am comfortable with that aspect of professional sports. It makes me laugh when people claim to care about character or go on some apocalyptic rant that a team's reputation is tarnished because the team signs a guy who isn't a good person. Which is why I have spent the afternoon laughing at you and Asthma and your just god awful, lack of fact based opinions (Haslett rules!)

AP beats his kids and its already forgotten (your fan base was hoping to sign him)

Ray Lewis is looked upon as a hero

If Ray Rice was any good he would be on a team playing professional football.

A guy caught in a hotel room with blow and strippers is one of the most beloved players in the history of his franchise and his university.

And you know what? I am comfortable with that. It is professional sports in America.

You go right ahead and be 'comfortable' with that and get your laughs where you can get 'em, once the season starts they'll be hard to come by. Unless you're laughing at the Commanders!

I sure will when Colt McCoy finds a way to win on MNF in Dallas again

Meanwhile, just scram out of this thread with the nonsense opinions you have had. You have embarrassed yourself plenty

You hold onto that one. It's the last you'll get to see for a while and I hope you have it recorded. But Haslett's now gone so your defense is screwed.

How about you 'scram' out of this forum and stop embarrassing yourself here while you try to defend this lowlife and minimize the fact that you're so desperate for talent?

Your entire organization is an embarrassment! The fact that you're claiming to 'laugh' at anything shows just how out of touch and delusional you are to the fact that your favorite team is a laughingstock without a prayer for success! There is zero light at the end of the tunnel! How does it feel to know that you're completely irrelevant with no end in sight?

It's not you per se, it's your GM. He said he wouldn't sign anyone that even had questions.

Then he runs to sign the first guy that has serious questions that can help on the field.

Then he backtracked by saying he meant guys that were repeat offenders.

Galette passed his 'ocular patdown' so he is OK.

I would've signed Galette myself, but I'm more like you and expect football players to play football and not be Boy Scouts

Anyone who had questions or bad guys?

I know we are down to semantics, but the quote was talking about bad guys, which in itself is very subjective.

http://www.csnwashington.com/redskinsblog/mccloughan-did-his-homework-signing-galette

“It was a long process,” McCloughan said Sunday at the Bon Secours Training Facility. “I will promise you guys this: being new here and knowing where we’re going and what we want to build, I’m not going to bring a bad guy in. I will not give on that, at all.”

Anyhow, here is the best quote from the GM, which is why I am fine with it. 1 year, vet min, productive player no cap ramifications if he screws up and released? I'll do that every day

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...078174-393e-11e5-b3ac-8a79bc44e5e2_story.html


“He has to walk the line, and he knows that,” McCloughan said. “And he will. If he doesn’t, then he’s gone, plain and simple.”

To me worst case is this- He screws is up, is awful in the locker room and is gone the next day.

Best case- He balls out, gets 13 sacks, maybe the team is comfortable with giving him a long term deal, maybe he signs elsewhere and the Commanders get a comp pick down the line.

I don't expect anything special out of a guy making the NFL minimum. Maybe he surprises, maybe not?

 

[NIBGoldenchild]

But Haslett's now gone so your defense is screwed.

NOW the defense is screwed? So you claim they were good before? My God, you have no clue what you're talking about.
