Most telling in that Atlanta game was that no assistant stepped up to challenge what was obviously a fucked strategy.
It showed me the collective failure of the entire group. Pollack, for stubbornly thinking his failed project could play. Linehan, for being incapable if making a scheme adjustment during the game, and Garrett most of all, for being incapable of demanding that his assistants make those changes.

For the amount of jawing Gregory's doing on Twitter, he better not have fucked up again.

But the point is, these types of fuck ups aren't supposed to result in suspensions any more. So isn't this a really easy decision?

If the PA actually gave a shit, they should be screaming to the hills that the league isn't living up to their end of the agreement.

I know I'm in the minority but I honestly don't care if Gregory ever plays football again. I've gotten used to not having him around.
Same. I don't think the league is out to get him. I think he's a bigger disaster behind the scenes than we know.

Griffen and Aldon Smith make him a non-factor anyway.

there seems to be alot of faith in Aldon Smith being his former self. We havent seen shit, I hesitate to think he's gonna unleash a reign of terror on opposing offensive tackles

I don't think we need him. But if he were able to come in and contribute, it would be a nice boost. He and the team should be afforded the opportunity to find out, considering the way league rules are now. If the league is dragging their feet and fucking him over because of only past failed marijuana tests, while reinstating others with the same and worse transgressions, something is definitely wrong.

I'm sure there were other conditions besides "don't flunk a drug test."

I don't think he'll be as good as he was at his peak, either.

But he can be quite a bit less than that and still be really damned good.

Same here, I'm just glad the team is now planning as if he isn't going to be around and treating him as a luxury, rather than banking on his presence as they've done in years past.

I'm guessing it has to do with McCarthy's influence, although the Quinn move last year was pretty inspired.

Shouldn't any conditions change or go away when the rules change?
Obviously they are still applying old rules for him. But it's kind of bullshit. Imagine if weed was fully legalized everywhere. But a guy was charged before the law changed. Would it make any sense to throw that guy in jail even though what he did is no longer a crime? Of course not. That's essentially what they are doing to Gregory right now.

Well, that should just about do it for his career.
