Really? So you know this for sure. They've had a mental health plan in place from day 1? Seems like if they did, we wouldn't be where we are now.[

Nick Eatman said a few weeks back on The Break that they've basically had a guy that was pretty much taking care of him. He didn't want to get into it too much but I know we can't believe everything we see and read but I like to believe that Nick is a pretty good source. I've heard that Jerry Jones goes out of his way when it comes to players with some baggage. He tries to do what he can. I'm just saying at what point is Gregory going to change? And maybe he doesn't but regardless of what's been done to help him and what hasn't, He needs to figure it out

I still have hope but no expectations for Gregory. It might prove to be a real blessing if he were able to overcome his dependence on weed.

Plans are great. But they only work if HE decides he must change. Real change can only come from within. Nobody can tell you to change if you don't want to.

It's all up to Randy Gregory himself if he wants real change in his life.

You're right and I was going to add that the rest is up to Randy Gregory after that but didn't. Couldn't agree more.

And like I said. I think they missed on this. They though it was "he likes to party" but it really is that his disease is relieved by weed.

You guys really don't think the presence of both Leon Lett and Charles Haley won't be making serious adjustments in the kid's outlook?

I think it is great that guys like Lett is there for Gregory as well as Haley but in the end it comes down to one person and that is Gregory. Lett can want this for Gregory all he wants same with Haley but Gregory is the one who must step up and do it. I hope he does, I think this kid as the talent to be a great player

Dear Sir Jones: Having a personality-change clinic for various offenders will not help this team.
Instead, vet the players before you draft or sign them, so you won't get any surprises. And if you KNOW the player is troubled and you still sign him, then you deserve what you get.

No. I don't. Because he's too stupid for it to matter.

4 years, that's my prediction before we see solid results or he's completely out of the picture and gone...

if this was last year I would have been encouraged but this guy is 1 toke (for his career) from a 10 game ban. I just dont see him changing. If the combine embarrassment and 4 failed test didnt change him why will Lett.
I want this to work but reality says we are a few months from writing him off

How do you motivate someone to do the things you think are right for him ?
Thru punishment or thru positiv stimulation ?

Maybe Lett will have success because of the way he approaches him ?

Outlook for what....living a life without weed.......its not like this kid is a 10-15yr sack player, what he did at NEBRASKA is irrelevant.
What has he proven....he hasnt shown anything maybe flashed some potential. Its not like he is Lawrence Taylor this kid a nothing but a distraction.....at this point he has more failed drug test then sacks.......Time to move on.....You cant fix stupid.... Fans need to stop propping up idiot players that choose drugs over a once in a life time opportunities...
How many people, get the opportunity he has....and fans want to give him a second chance....send his *** home.....No more Quincy Carters

It's one of David Wells team. They follow you if you leave home and hang around but they are not omnipresent live-ins.

I think they are dramatically overrated.
