    There is literally video of Simmons doing what he did. This is just hearsay at the moment. Yet, people are having vastly different reactions to the situation. I love Jeffery Simmons and I loved the pick, by the way. In no way trying to bash Simmons here.

    I get there is some PTSD from the Wilson saga but that’s not an excuse for hypocrisy. A lot of talk on here about people “not supporting any man who would hit a woman” but yet they do already with Simmons, technically. Probably gonna rile some people up but it’s the truth.

    I have been pretty mad with my wife at times over the years, but my plan has mostly been to fake my own death instead of hitting her.

    Until there is evidence or an arrest, I consider this a nothingburger.

    I totally forgot about what Simmons did and the video which is alot worse than Weaver...I think this will all amount to nothing...anyways he's innocent until proven guilty

    Yeah it’s easy to forget because he’s been great for us. But ESPN even showed the video on draft night instead of talking about the pick lol

    Hopefully the Weaver thing, first didn't happen and it blows over

    I'm anxious to see what the new look D does...still concerned about the WR position but trust the guys picked play well.
    If Evans plays well I hope we do extend him rather than lose another guy after declining the 5th year option..maybe they will move him around a bit

    Again, not going to defend the actions of Simmons. But the scenarios are not similar. You're talking about a difference of 6 years in age. That is an adult vs a kid. A scenario where one was defending his family in a fight and a scenario where a is guy punching/throwing a woman to the ground for throwing a drink in his face (allegedly).

    I'm all about due process and letting the truth come out. But if true, the outrage should be substantially higher on what he did, vs what Simmons did.

    I hear ya. If Weaver comes out and helps solve our pass rush problems I’m sure many on here will forget this ever happened.

    Only time will tell. I was excited about this pick so it’s definitely a bummer he’s already got some drama. But we’ve seen this go both ways in the past.

    WR is a concern, sure but we don’t throw the ball a lot and I think we can get away with not having a ton of big name guys.

    I remember a lot of people here coming out to say they would take Tyreke Hill if the Chiefs cut him

    I just remember saying I would not visit or watch or support the Titans if they did and quite a few took exception to that and thought I was nuts (assuming the accusations were true) Same for kid beater Peterson

    We dont know a lot of what happened here. His words to the cops about a man defending himself also makes it look a lot worse but in some situations, i could understand that mentality

    That doesn't mean that you Ray Rice a woman that comes after you but since everyone is playing what ifs, here's one.

    Outside arguing and she's is all in his face. He extends his arm to put distance between him and she trips. She falls down and gets a concussion

    Thats a much different situation than him going out, punching her in the face, and giving her a concusison.

    I would think that an athlete would be able to throw a hard enough punch, or even slap to leave a mark. From what I read, if accurate, police found no evidence of such a punch or slap


    His comments about "a man can defend himself" just looks horrible after an accusation like this

    I'm not defending or chastising him either way until we get more info.

    In most cases, there is no reason to hit a woman. In the cases where I, personally, would all boil down to circumstances

    In most cases, a man should be able to stop a woman but there's always those beasts. In high school, I knew a woman that id put my money on over a ton of the guys I knew.
