Just an Idea - dealing with off the field issues

I think it would certainly promote organizations taking these sort of matters into their own hands (suspending without pay, clearly written stipulations in the contract) rather than the league always being the bad guy.

 

i think he is already doing that. at least i think i heard that on nfl network.

i think it's a bad idea. at this rate you might as well not even let guys who have a record enter the draft

 

I think anyone entering the NFL should be placed onto a probation period. The period will last two years in which any incidents result in a pyramid style punishment system. If they are able to make it through the two year period without making it to the top of the punishments, then they should be allowed to continue to play.

Also, any organization who takes a player with a past history then goes into a probation period as well. Anytime the player gets into trouble, the team is given a strike. After 3 strikes, the team is disqualified from the playoffs. After 5 strikes, the team is disqualified from their first and second round draft picks.

I think a system similar to this would really help mould players into better off-field people. Troubled players wouldnt be picked up which would lead to them attempting to stay out of trouble, etc.

What you guys think?

 

why start with the NFL, go back and start in college or high school..bad habits are hard to break esp. when you are not punished for them

 

Ewker is right, highschool and college athletes get away with so much more just because of what they can do on the field

 

depends on how the coach is in high school. i know my coach didnt put up with this kind of ****. we could play with a C, but we had to run a mile for every C everyday after practice until we got it up(unless you had some type of learning disability or something). anything under a C and chances are you were puking at least once a week.

 

so you weren't the star player eh )

 

only played a year. i tore tore up knee and my mom wouldnt let me play again :(

 

bummer on getting hurt..moms are good at doing that
