Face Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah, you obviously haven't been around here long enough. Exacty. Remember how it started off with VY, Pac, and Britt? Bunch of little things that "weren't a big deal". And the acts themselves aren't a big deal, it's who did it. If it was somebody like Michael Roos or Jason McCourty, you know, somebody with some equity & a track record of responsibility, Id have a much easier time writing it off as a one time "no big deal". DGB? Not as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post abenjami Posted October 6, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 What's funny is no one is really making a big deal of this. Some are just pointing out this small incident could be an unfortunate sign of bigger things to come. The only posters who are "flying off the handle" are the homers sprinting to defend the guy and make up excuses for him. woolfolksunclesuncle, VanCityTitan, OILERMAN, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only posters who are "flying off the handle" are the homers sprinting to defend the guy and make up excuses for him. I was all for drafting DGB, I felt he was worth the risk, he's a specimen & his 2 TD's showed what he is capable of. You just don't find this kind of guy in the 2nd rd. That said, he apparently doesn't know the playbook yet & he's already been arrested. Yes, it's a minor arrest. But still, it's a constant with this guy. Meanwhile, there's a bunch of very good, solid 2nd rd defensive players that are starting every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

volntitan Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's amazing that this thread is now 3 pages long...over an unpaid speeding ticket. Jd8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd8 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wow is a big deal really being made out of a speeding ticket? He was young and dumb in college and probably forgot. I am sure being drafted into the NFL and the lifestyle that brings a speeding ticket could have easily slipped his mind. As far as that is how Britt started. Seriously? So anyone who forgets to pay a ticket we can already assume 7 arrests will follow shortly after? That is fucking crazy. Lol Let the young guy actually do something wrong that hurts the team before you lose your shit over nothing. I've heard nothing but positives about DGB and until he proves otherwise he is doing a damn good job staying clean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he will be arrested several times on criminal charges becUse he forgot to pay a ticket is making a big deal out of something. Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our history concerning dumb WR's seems to be what is driving this concern the most and while I understand that, for the regular every day person, an unpaid ticket is not a big deal.

japan Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I think we knew when we drafted the guy that he wasn't the sharpest tool... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah, you obviously haven't been around here long enough. Been around where? I've been a fan of the team for 20 years. What does a player from the past have to do with DGB? Again, maybe it's a sign of impending doom like you seem to assume, or maybe it's a one-time fuck up. Personally I choose to say away from the ledge until further notice. But feel free to whip yourself into hysterics. zOMG an unpaid parking ticket!!12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you read his posts again and tell me he is taking this in stride. Alcibiades 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The over reaction is because we've seen this same scenario play out negatively before. Hopefully this was just a brainfart for DGB and not a sign of things to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Using Kenny Britt as reason to panic isn't exactly effective either to me. His run ins with the law, while numerous, were pretty tame in comparison to the league and really the general male population in the U.S. criminal justice system. Kenny's problem wasn't his run ins with the law; his problems were getting severely injured and then forgetting how to catch a football better than most 5th graders. If DGB's on the field play matches our expectations of him, a Kenny Britt-like criminal history is kind of a steal IMO. Did Kenny ever even serve any jail time? I don't remember that happening.

titanfan24 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lord ham ercy........ Y'all are coming unglued over an unpaid speeding ticket for a 21 year old.........I mean it is a little sign of immaturity, but 21......... I remember kids not being able to walk at graduation in college until they paid some forgotten parking tickets on campus. This is filed under the no big deal at all file. But this is the same board that had Justin Hunter sentenced to 15 at San Quentin a few months back when we know he's not some aggressive figure (to his detriment).
