Silver lining: Could this get Zeke's attention?

I didn't expect this suspension, but I FULLY expected one like this down the road.

Your career is in jeopardy, son. What are you going to do going forward?

No silver lining....none at all.
This just creates a bigger target on this mans back. Now every person he runs into in life will have the power to end his career.
What a suck way to live as a single 20 something man.

What bothers me most is that they are painting Zeke as a criminal by this ruling. How does this help the NFL's image? They have now made one of their stars a violent criminal when there isn't evidence proving this.

 

[Old'Boyfan]

Un Fricking Believable.

Jerry Jones is the biggest pushover owner in the league. Even if there is an agreement to appeal and reduce the games, the damage is done.

 

[DIAF]

6 games is completely ridiculous. but let's be honest about why we are even here. It's because Zeke Elliot is a complete idiot and keeps putting himself in stupid situations.

RB is the most disposable position in professional football. If he keeps on acting like an idiot, draft his replacement and move the f on. I got no time for some idiot kid ruining a team's season.

 

[LandryFan]

NFLPA might have a say. This is a dangerous precedent for players.

They had their say in the CBA bargaining sessions and gave Goodell carte blanche on these matters. They are equally, if not more, culpable.

 

[TheSkaven]

What I've been saying all along

Time for us to pull a Patriots and put up a big middle finger to the league, deal with the suspension and win the Super Bowl.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Sure lets suspend a guy 6 games for being a knucklehead. That seems right.

It is what it is.

Jerry is part of the group that gave the NFL office this sort of power.

 

[cajuncocoa]

The is the beginning of the end for Goodell and Mara.

What makes you think so?

 

[jwitten82]

Resign Hardy, screw Goodell

 

[Nightman]

What I've been saying all along

It is ALL DV .......not personal conduct

 

[aria]

This sucks but everyone needs to relax. I'm shocked it's 6 games but will most likely be reduced significantly. I hope he serves the first part of the season when we still have very winnable games without him.

Meanwhile Revis is walking around scotch free! Bell has smoked his knee caps off but continues to get a slap on the wrist. This is a ******** suspension for a case that never was!!!

 

[The Quest for Six]

Does anyone else have a problem with these stupidly long suspensions dished out because they know that they will get reduced on appeal. Legally would that not be considered working on bad faith.

I have no problem with it, hate that he's suspended for 6 game but there's nobody to blame but Zeke himself and I'd bet most of the players don't either....most of the players who conduct themselves as professionals are tired of all these negatives that some of these players bring to the league, it's a black eye and big companies and heir money don't want to be tied to woman beaters. the league is about money, it's a business first and foremost and they're going to protect the NFL shield and business at all costs..

They had their say in the CBA bargaining sessions and gave Goodell carte blanche on these matters. They are equally, if not more, culpable.

This.

 

[Sarge]

By this standard, Joe Mixon should be suspended for 3 seasons

 

[CowboysRule]

He could honestly get this reduced to the first game. That's all Mara really wants.

 

[Sydla]

So again. Can't prove the DV and can't punish him under the DV policy, so they just apply the Code of Conduct policy which allows suspension without real evidence and use that to suspend him 6 games?

 

[Sage3030]

6 games is what you get for DV, so in the NFL's mind he did it.

I'll say it again, Pandora's box has been opened.
