redskinss Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If we had a month to make this decision why not wait? We're they afraid he'd show up just to get paid? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I applaud a 22 year old for realizing after a hit to the head so bad he had to wear glasses, that maybe he should worry about more important things. Only thing is there are guys who could've had jobs (like to feed their family) who do not because of the timing of this.  That's unfair to players on the back end of the roster who won't be making millions of dollars.  Either way, best to move on and just cut ties and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tough thing is the "quitting" thing. I was just raised that you  don't quit on people once you commit. This would have been an honorable decision in April. It was not really a good decision on final cuts day. In fairness, maybe he didn't know and his final injury was the nail in the coffin, but the way he went about this was just a little bit lousy.  He has the right and his health is more important than a paycheck or job, but it's still lousy.

bedlamVR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 All I can do is wish him the best . Whatever the reason for this and I hope it is nothing serious but when i heard he was coming back to the team this week i thought this was what he was going to do. If he walks away from football and his dreams then he walks away his decision.  For 2017 he is done - and who knows beyond that - but I imagine the MODS will want to close this for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did some of the same stuff in college. If your heart isnt in it then you dont show up for the Combine and all of the other draft related stuff. He basically got drafted, faked a few injuries before finally getting hurt for real, and collected that "free money" from the Skins. Just Pathetic is the only word I can think of to describe him.

One question is was he ever a smart draft pick given he had a history of this at USC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Kinda crazy to compare guys like Gallette who had two season ending injuries but still wanted to come back and talked about his love of football and how he would play for free with a guy like Cravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017  I defended him in the earlier thread and will continue to do so.  You just don't get to use that meme every day.  Anyway, the NFL isn' for everyone and it looks like he realized that early on.  I'm not sure how many posters here had all their **** together at age 22..... "well i wasn't getting paid millions and in the NFL..." yeah, save it.  What's the alternative, having a guy on the roster half-assing and collecting a check?   I hope the guy finds whatever makes him happy in life.  One should be so lucky.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the front office has serious doubts about whether he's coming back because he actually wants to play, or if he's showing up because he wants to collect one last paycheck. If it's the latter, he might do his disappearing act again where he gets a minor injury and then skips rehab / spends a few games playing ping pong in the locker room. So they took the decision out of his hands. I think it was probably the right move.
