For whatever you think of Harper...

[MV%doe]

harper has been a main stay in the weight room since the day he signed his deal. nice first impression. 

[BerryLoMein]

Anyone would be excited to play for the future Superbowl champs.

[CelibatePimp]

 That's my safety?

[cardiackat88.]

He's a hell of a lot more muscular than I remember him being in NO

[Billy Love]

If he knocks out Jimmy Graham, I'll cheer for him.

If he ruptures the spleen of Drew Brees I'll buy his jersey

[mc52beast]

Still not cool with that late hit on Smith.

 

Will you be ok when he does it to him while wearing a Ravens uniform?

[KSpan]

Will you be ok when he does it to him while wearing a Ravens uniform?

Won't be cool with him doing it to anyone in any uniform - it's a jackass move that has no place in the game.

[Cary Kollins]

Will you be ok when he does it to him while wearing a Ravens uniform?

Fug yes.

I'll still think Harper is a punk b*tch though.

Edit: oh no not cool with a cheap shot. The Panthers are better than that

[WOW!!]

I just think he sucks as a player. Not even talking about his drity late hits. He's slow takes bad angles and can't cover my 6 year old.

But not necessarily above it, if it's done to them first.

 

We've seen that situation played out before.

 

 

[Rise of The Hive]

I still think Captain when I see 41.

 

I thought that was who was in the picture!

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

It seems to me, he's trying to make amends. Never know who you might play for in the NFL.

 

I'm looking forward to him back there. He's that thumper (if not more than Mitchell) we need in the backfield. He'll be fine playing behind our front 7, and I imagine, gaining a few fans in the process.

People overplay the late hit on Smith thing.  If you've ever played sports, you know that type of stuff happens all the time and it's not personal.  It's pretty easy to get caught up in the moment when you're playing aggressively and angry.  That hit was never going to hurt someone.

The size of the hit has no bearing on the act. Bush play. Welcome aboard. We don't play that game. Mkay?

 

 

yea but you forget that we play Smitty in Baltimore sometime next season. i dont want to see the two of them get in a fight with Smitty on another team.

Not to be a smart azz or nothing. But, I would think if any fight broke out between them. Smitty will be the instigator. Harper is too smart for one, and will probably be told all week to have fun, but keep your head.

 

 

I don't know why I try to explain these kind of things to concrete linear thinkers like you but here goes.  You didn't use my example you totally took it out of context.  For example using the rape and murder scenario which I already stated was using extreme examples were generally consistent given they were both capital crimes not speeding which isn't even a misdemeanor. Obviously rape while heinous is not as heinous as murder thus justifying one by saying it is not bad as the other is faulty logic.  In your example of speeding, you could have compared speeding to eluding the police by taking them on a high chase to avoid being arrested.  Both involve speeding but one is not as bad or as dangerous as the other.  So you would not justify speeding by saying for example at least I was going on a high speed chase to avoid whatever. That was the point.

 

Secondly equating an act like speeding which sometimes may be intentional but other times could be related to not paying attention to your surroundings or in one case for me was rushing to the hospital to evaluate a suicidal patient, with an intentional act designed to hurt someone albeit at any level again makes no sense. In order to make a comparison you have to have equivalent acts with one being more serious than the other and both sharing a thread of comparison which your whole argument lacked.  

 

And no I am not comparing speeding to rape or murder and I not comparing intentionally pushing or hitting someone from behind with rape or murder. That is why I am saying you are linear and concrete.  You can't abstract from one situation to another.  But don;t feel alone I suspect I will get a few replies as well talking about how they are not the same as if I thought they were.

 

For those of you who are literal try this one.  His response was like justifying Harper's behavior by saying at least it wasn't as bad as the head stomp that Suh did as if that makes it alright.  Both were intentional and dirty just one was worse than the other.  One does not justify the other.  I hope that was concrete enough for those who haven;t reached formal operational stage thinking yet.

Yeah.

[SauceBoss]

He's just kissing ass b/c no one else wanted him. Maybe he can be like Mitchell and prove me wrong.
