Regardless, he has the benefit of a spotless record prior to this incident and having millions of dollars has never stopped someone from making a bad decision. I'd be willing to bet he never makes the same mistake again. And I'm expecting him to make a huge contribution to our championship run this season.

Fair enough. I will never look at him the same.

That is, of course, your choice. I have come to embrace what a very special man once said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her", or him in this case.

Leaked videos aren't the tell all. We'll get to know more as we get closer to the court date, if it even gets that far.

Let's get the full story after the trial when all the facts are out in public. Nonetheless, I believe that Kamara was justified in punching the dude a couple of times. I probably would have hit him a couple of more times to ensure that he got my message but I would stop short of curb stomping him. It's hard to believe that someone could piss of mild mannered AK that much.

Re: Trade kamara

Mostly it doesn’t matter if he is mother theresa or the son of sam. He is an aging running back with declining stats and injuries behind an aging and injured oline. Every once in a blue moon you get an adrian peterson or emmitt smith but for every one of them there are a dozen runners with short careers. In general, your not looking for maturity in a running back, your looking for youth, and if you think a running back has a couple good years left, what you want is an exit strategy if you overestimated by a couple years.

It matters to me. Hence my post about not looking at him the same way. I like pulling for individuals of hi moral fiber. Maybe that’s lost in today’s society

Then you are pulling for one individual in history, my friend. We all have done things that we regret. I'd be willing to bet that some here have done worse than young Alvin in their lives. What's lost in society is recognizing the fact that we as humans do wrong and need to be striving to overcome those transgressions.

Oh, I've done worse but it was not caught on tape. Thank god! I was a bad boy.

They didn't even have tape way back then. Just black & white silent film with piano accompaniment.

If we were to cut Kamara it would cost us more money than we save to part ways with him now. Then we would need to find another RB which would cost us even more money. I believe we need to hold on to him this season and then look at his contract next year when it's cheaper to trade or cut him. Personally, I hope he finishes out his contract with New Orleans while playing well.

AK could surprise some folks and have a good season when he returns from his suspension. If Carmichael feels good about the offense then he might be more aggressive and get the ball to AK in space with some clever play calling. Fingers crossed!
