If the suspension holds, Zeke was the wrong pick

you are ignoring well made points and repeating yourself. It certainly looks like you are trying your best to get a rise out of people.

What well made points have I ignored?

I said "good point" literally the post right above this one.

If Zeke is on strike 1 of 2, and used his first strike before he ever played an NFL game...there's cause for concern. Don't cry troll everytime you're presented with an opinion you don't like.

Yeah its nothing more than opinion. At least even you agree to that.

My stance on how serious stike 1 is is certainly opinion. I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. And if people have different opinions--that's great. But I'm being mocked and called a troll for expressing valid concern. I've even said the system is BS and that Zeke is worth the pick when on the field. I'm simply saying that he got strike 1 before playing a game and the next strike is likely to be it for him. That scares the hell out of me. Call me a coward, call me wrong, call me silly, but I'm not a troll.

I was thinking the same thing today. The drill Dak about his issues but hand the card off quickly for Zeke. Every since we drafted him he has been as much of a knuckle head as Johnny Manziel.

Maybe I'm wrong. Can you support that? Why has the NFLPA let the policy stand for 3 years? Why is Zeke resorting to conspiracy claims? If I'm wrong--and I hope I am--please show me.

6 games is a lot. 10% of games on a 4 year contract. Think Zeke will get a 2nd contract From Dallas?

It depends what he does from here on out. If he continues to be a knucklehead then I think he'll be gone. If he starts to realize he can't do everything without consequences I think he could get one if he continues to perform at a high level. I think it's up to Zeke.

From the NFL domestic violence conduct policy:

"Violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault will result in a baseline six-game suspension without pay, with more if aggravating factors are present, such as the use of a weapon or a crime against a child. A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL."

Zeke just used his one free strike. A second and he's out of the league forever. We've already seen how much control the NFL has over this process, and that won't be changing anytime soon.

Zeke had character flags on draft night, and we've seen them come to fruition. His parents said they were worried about him handling fame. His college coach said he's worried about him. Joey Bosa had to change roommates because Zeke partied too much. There were rumors of drug use, which text conversations all but confirmed. The writing was on the wall. The risk was too great.

On the field, Zeke is special and absolutely worthy of the investment. But how can anyone here feel good knowing that the next time the league decides he assualted someone, he's out of the league for good? And that's all it takes: the league deciding it happened.

If Zeke's lawyers pull out a miracle, I'll gladly eat my words. But if Zeke is truly is on his last strike, he's wasn't worth the investment. He has a lot of growing up to do and no margin for error.
Cry me a river. Come on man!

Zeke is a knucklehead and he'll do something else that's stupid because he just doesn't get it so enjoy his talent while we have it.

It took him a whole year to find himself in this kind of situation. He's taking the Johnny Mansfield path out of the league.
Curious to know if you felt the same as Dez his first two years in the league...Seriously, because I heard some of the radio guys on The Ticket calling him a knucklehead too.

Just get ready for tomorrow morning sir and hopefully that hate and grandstanding will have left your heart by then.
