We're talking about probabilities. Anyone can die in a traffic accident. He raised that possibility by leaps and bounds. I am well aware it didn't end up in a fatality, and I don't think he shouldn't be punished as if it did or almost did. But I also think it's absurd to ignore what happened.

If you drive drunk and no one dies, is it totally fine that you just drove drunk? Because kids will be kids and no one suffered the consequences even if you were pulled over by the police?

And if the drunk driver caused an accident, he better not leave the scene. Because leaving the scene is more egregious than driving drunk and causing the accident in the first place apparently.

Wouldn’t his insurance company cover or deal with these suits?

None of this was fine, and most on here are very clear on that. He ****ed up, bad, period... He got lucky it wasn't worse. He was probably high when he crashed as well, totally unacceptable. He is paying a price with a hit to his pocket book and his reputation. If he wouldn't have left, he probably was looking at 1-2 games like Echols, but as I said in the other thread, he will probably get 3, maybe 4 because the league will view him leaving as a DUI. He was an idiot and it was a poor decision by a young man that either A) won't happen again, or B) he is a knuckle dragger and will continue this path and be cut at the next **** up. I'm hoping it's the former and he redeems himself and his character.

I completely agree. But he also could’ve easily killed someone with his actions. And it’s not any sort of stretch. We can admit that and still think he’s a Chief for multiple seasons going forward and can very, very, very easily redeem himself. That’s it.

We don’t need to sugarcoat the rest of it with excuses.

Honestly. Him paying out 7 figures might benefit us. He needs to play outstanding to get paid by someone.

You are a smart guy yet for some reason you keep comparing what could have happened in the absolute worst case to what actually did happen like they are similar.

The reality is we all live lives where outcomes mostly don’t come close to worst case scenario and we don’t spend all our time acting like it almost did.

You ever run a red light or stop sign? Sure you have. Your dumb inattentive ass could have killed someone! But you didn’t. You didn’t come close I’m sure.

It’s not sugar coating it’s reality. We don’t get judged on what “could “ have happened under different circumstances.

Lol, nice to see some Chiefs fans are so happy to shit on and gloat about one of their own players’ problems. Nice fan base. Maybe if you really feel that way you should go find another team to ‘support’ in your own shit-ass fashion, bitches.
