For me, it's not the dog thing, it's the choking thing.

Sure, the charges were dropped, but MAN how do you get into that situation in the first place if you weren't doing SOMETHING wrong?

Agreed, I'm certainly most outraged by the choking story. Any man that would do that to a pregnant woman is a punk, plain and simple. I don't even care how the confrontation/argument got started.....just walk away.

When I choke my dog, it's because she walked away. If I would have choked my dog sooner, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant.

A lot of people used that argument against Sean Taylor and still to this day call him a "thug" because of that ATV situation where charges were DROPPED.

If he stays healthy, he's the best returner (outside of Hester) in the league.

Depth for WR, a great returner...I can't hate this move but I still wonder where it came from.

Just so we're clear of who exactly you are deeming to be idiots: is it those who are waiting on a Big FA signing only, or is it anyone who is disappointed with this signing?

Since Hackett and Caldwell signed elsewhere, they needed to fill in some depth at WR. Simple as that. Anyone waiting on a big FA signing and being dissappointed with this.... you are an idiot.

I know you are new, but no need to call anyone an idiot.

Wow...Jerome drives a '97 Honda. Definitely a disappointment.

Maybe it's the whole idea that it was a woman. Sure, I really would like to know ALL the details about that incident and I definitely believe people need to be given a chance to reprove themselves, but as of now, the guy ranks about a 7-8 on the human excrement meter, below 10s like Pac-man.

If he gives us performance and a whole season without incident, then he drops to a 4-5 next year. It's one of those I could forgive, just not forget type of things.

It would be totally bittersweet for me if the guy who supposedly was choking his pregnant girlfriend is a key piece in our Super Bowl puzzle. What are we? Dallas?

I had hoped that the front office had learned their lesson after Lloyd. Not saying it's the same type of move, Mathis isn't going to cost us $10M in bonuses, but I just thought that after Gibbs 2.0 there would be more of a premium on character around Redskins Park. This move was disappointing to me.

Sad but true.
