Rolando McClain facing 4 game fine

[Alexander]

He missed 3 games as opposed to an entire season. Forget it you aren't worth arguing with. Someone like you who knows they've lost this argument still trying to convince themselves that they didn't. You haven't made one valid point concerning Lee and McClain. If you think Lee is more reliable than McClain then there isn't much else to discuss.

Psychologically, Lee is a lot more reliable. He is not a quitter, criminal or flake that cannot stay away from drugs.

But oh, I forgot. You "won" this argument.

I was just reading the new drug policy, it has to be pot. PEDs get you an immediate suspension, pot gets treatment and fines until after the third offense. So since he's getting a 4 game fine it is his third time getting caught for pot.

So you jump all over me and you don't even know what you are talking about.

Getting caught 3 times for weed shows bad judgement and terrible decision making. This comes at a time when he has a ton of money to lose. That is why I have no trouble believing he could be involved with his house fire. He has a history of making terrible decisions and getting into to trouble. If you want to keep giving him the benefit of the doubt after 5-6 mistakes, knock yourself out.

That just lowered his bargaining power. Maybe get him in the cheap with incentive laden contract. Also opens up need for another LB to develop in the mid to late rounds.

I wouldn't mind that at all. I think we were going to draft LBs regardless because of the injuries we had at that position last year and the uncertainty of Carter, Durant not coming back.

It has nothing to do with giving him the benefit of the doubt regarding a drug test. The jump from smoking pot to 'paid someone to burn down his house' is astronomical.

I would definitely take Lee over McClain. It's not even close to me.

Rolando McClain is a mental midget. I don't want to invest in that kind of player. Lee will be in and out of the line up, no doubt, but he'll never do anything to besmirch the franchise or act as a bad influence to his teammates.

Oh, and Lee is a better player. People went a little nuts at the beginning of the year anointing McClain as if he was all world. It's Lee's intelligence and instincts that make him the best LB we have right now.

 

[Bluestang]

How in the world can you even come to the conclusion that Rolando McClain is more reliable than Sean Lee?

They both are unreliable and for totally different reasons.

Yeah i agree with this. Thats like comparing drinking to killing someone lol. Very big jumps. At the end of the day this guy made our defense better, and i dont want to rely on Lee at all. I love him as a player but he is just not big enough to stay healthy. this could be good for us in my opinion, if we can sign him for a cost effective deal, maybe it frees up some money to keep murray as well? just spitballing

Because he is playing on the field and not on the sidelines in street clothes every season. Lee couldn't even make it to training camp. That's how.

This highly debatable. How is McClain a mental midget and how is Lee a better player. There were plenty of times Lee missed tackles, assignments, got truck, etc. Unless you have some definitive proof that Lee is better and McClain is a mental midget then you are making a lot misguided assumptions. You fall in that line of people that really overrate Sean Lee. I like him but to say he's a better player and McClain is mentally challenged is pretty weak. Based off of what exactly?

You obviously are mistaking Lee for Matt Johnson and McClain for Dick Butkus.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Maybe it's time to rethink Bruce Carter

You are the one making the leap. All I am saying is that based on his history and his overall poor decision making, I could see him being involved in a stupid attempt to recoup some money from his house. You have turned that into me saying he is guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you can't see the difference then I can't waste any more time with you.

Yeah a player being injured is more reliable than a player that smokes weed. This is what I'll always remember you by.

You have been implying that he's guilty since the arson thread. Or do you believe that everyone else simply misunderstood, which is why people 'jumped all over you?' When everyone misunderstands you, it's you not them.

But please, don't waste any more time on me.

And yet we are hoping that McClain doesn't retire for a third time...

 

[Nightman]

One is intentionally making bad choices. The other has had some unfortunate injuries from giving it all on the field . If you want to side with the criminal over the captain that is your choice, a bad one, but yours to make.

 

[jobberone]

Well ain't that ducky.
I ca't say I'm truly surprised. He's one of those guys where "something" always comes up.

Has been since he came into the league and probably before that and still happening now.
It's going to be interesting to see what hpw the Cowboys react to this as far as a contract offer.

Where have you been, dude?

The forgotten man.

Is PEDS confirmed?

 

[JDSmith]

If it came down to a choice I'd rather have Lee with his injuries than McClain with his injuries and baggage. Not sure why it matters if one is 'more reliable' than the other, since neither has been the Cal Ripken of football.

Has to be pot, PEDs earn an immediate suspension. Pot is fines and such until the 4th offense. So if it's a fine, it's pot.
