visajets Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Really dude? Its pretty common knowledge that Cromartie, Edwards and Holmes were not all going to get new contracts. Its a matter of finances. We signed our core 4 and don't have the money to pay two # 1 receivers. Don't believe me? Here you go: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/12/holmes-trade-isnt-good-news-for-braylon-edwards/ Once again *REMINDER* im not your dude. And SH hasnt even stepped on the field in a regular season game and you are saying "we" want this and that? Come on man. Give the guy a break already. Come Sunday when he scores and you are drinking you will all soon forget what happened this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come Sunday when he scores and you are drinking you will all soon forget what happened this morning. Holmes will make us forget about Edwards pretty quickly. He's a top 10 receiver in this league. Braylon is good, but not Super Bowl MVP good. If we didn't already have Holmes, Cotchery, Keller and LT on the roster I'd miss Braylon a lot more. As it stands, I'm fine with him being cast off after 2010 if that is what Tannenbaum decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yes, I realize that and he deserves to be punished, which he will. Its the overreaction to Rex having zero control over the team because ONE player makes a stupid decision to drive after some drinks was what I take issue with. Also, Braylon didnt hurt anyone other than himself, so lets no pretend that he did. What could have happened didnt happen luckily. This isnt the first time this dumbass has done this..lol..get a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 exactly right SJ-which is why I think this was God intervening in his life this morning-maybe saving his life. Had he been at some club being a thug turd like Plaxico Burress maybe he WOULDN'T have gotten pulled over and the worst HAD happened. We know how things happen in threes, that Denver player committing suicide, Braylon Edwards could have been number two on that list. This isn't so much my liberal ideology as it is my recovery side...in AA our room we have a sign on our wall that says There But For The Grace Of God Go I Great points pal...spot on...lets hope he takes God's 'intervention', especially if I am on same road in future that he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyandthejets Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I dont know if this has been said but on Sportscenter Chris Mortensen said that Edwards did not seem to violate his probation and he did NOT violate the personal conduct policy, he violated the substance abuse policy so Mortensen said that we should not expect a suspension, but with goodell you never know. Ronnie Brown was arrested for DUI in the off season and as we know he was NOT suspended. So, really stupid decision by Edwards, but I really hope he isn't suspended and that the Jets just slap a humongous fine on him and establish a curfew or chaperon for him because he needs it.

Im proud of you for realizing what you say and what you want mean nothing. I didn't say we all want him gone. I said we knew one would HAVE to go. The team can't afford two # 1 receivers. Braylon's actions help make that decision a bit easier for Tanny when the time comes. Or can we suddenly afford all the players we want to keep who are in their contract years?

LOL damn you REALLY love arguing man. I didnt say this was the first time, but that would be a guess. Usually if someone says "This isnt the first time this happened" they're talking about the situation that just happened which was BE getting pulled over for a DWI, which HASNT HAPPENED BEFORE. If this was something that happened in the past where he got a DWI in the past thats a different story and at that point all the POS and a$$hole comments would be warranted but for now he's just an idiot that ****ed up.

I'd say that MOST don't lose their jobs because of it, in fact most wouldnt be fined by the place they work either but athletes are held to a different standard, and rightfuly so. Not saying its right at all, its stupid and dangerous and really irresponsible but it only happened ONCE as far as we know, to guess it happens more would be assuming.

Matt39 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Let me get this straight, because nobody was hurt or killed, you are justifying Edwards' decision to drive drunk?

I'm not going to go ripping through all of your posts. But, like other fans of this team (and I go back way before you were probably born), I have spent literally thousands of dollars on this team through the years. And yes, I will get pissed off when any player, especially in this era making millions, puts his selfish being before the team and the fans. And yes, I will applaud his a$$ for making plays in contribution to making this team win. That is my right as a fan...and it's also my right to blast him for this immature BS he just pulled.

But lots of posters, not necessarily including you, have been dismissing his actions because "everyone has done it" or because there are worse people out there. Its that premise I disagree with. You seem to be insinuating that I don't like Edwards as a player and think we should cut him immediately. Nothing could be further from the truth.

He shouldnt have done it. It was wrong, scary, dangerous, and stupid. However, according to the NFL, the place where Braylon Edwards works, he should only be fined. According to the law and records, he only made this mistake once. Does that deserve us throwing this guy to the wolves? Some of you think yes and thats fine you can have your opinion. All I'm saying is up until this point he was well behaved here, a great teammate, and a huge part of our team. He makes our team better and would help us win in Miami. And 90% of you will be standing up cheering this guy with a beer in your hand Sunday if they decided to let him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
