Why are some peoples panties in such a wad?
Lack of self-control.

The Packers aren't ignoring Colt's past, they're just giving him a chance to demonstrate he has moved beyond it.
His behavior patterns may be due to the patterns he's seen growing up and in college. His father left him....and then so did his father-figure coach Chip Kelly when left to coach the Eagles. That impacts a young man in so many ways and at a critical juncture in his life as he morphs into an adult
His behavior pattern was "allowed" because of his great talent....so the lessons he's learned are that he can't count on anyone, and that no matter what you do you'll always be able to play football because of great talent - his behaviors didn't seem to have consequences
Wish him well. If it all worked out gloriously, I could see him becoming the next Kuhn ( not mentally, yet ) in lining up in the backfield and being a threat to run, block, catch or pass pro. That's just looking at it from a purely physical and athletic point of view and what Kuhn offers is obviously much more cerebral
But I wouldn't mind having this beast as Rodgers personal protector IF he can make the leap. No more late hits on Aaron or they'll have to answer to Colt 45.

Because the Packers haven't had a ton of high draft picks, they have to look elsewhere to find the talent needed to be competitive. That means they have to take chances on people that have health or personal issues. The Patriots have done the same and I am not comparing Colt to Hernandez.

This kid is very talented, any team that needed a TE would have given him a chance. There's no team made up 100% of choir boys, there are jerks and thugs and immaturity on all 32 teams. You think Saint Belichick didn't know Aaron Hernandez had some kind of shady background? And he knew about Ryan Mallett's drug usage before the draft. Ozzie Newsome knew Rolando McClain's background when he signed him and also Bryant McKinnie's. Like the Colt Lyerla situation, it's a low risk/high reward situation. Some seem to think it makes GB look bad to sign him or GB will look bad if he screws up, but right now GB is the magnanimous team that gave him a 2nd chance and combined with the minimal investment, GB won't look bad no matter what happens.
can someone point out the UDFA who doesn't have red flags?
Coaches think they have a chance to fix his head. Coaches think they can fix the other guys hands, or feat, or attitude.
Wasn't even a pick used on the guy, can we get 4 pages when he is cut in pre-season.
There's no team made up 100% of choir boys
Disagree.

I suspect Bob has taken to tying his in a knot before getting dressed in the morning.
3 year deal with no bonus. Lyerla, 21, will make $420,000 for the 2014 season, $510,000 in 2015 and $600,000 in 2016 so long as he remains on the active roster.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THUG?'
If he's as gifted a receiver as they make him sound, roll the dice. Packer People don't put up with shenanigans. He'll fall into line or be out of a job. Hopefully he gets that. It sounds like he does.

Gun issue could be a man standing up for his principles - even at a huge cost.
Cocaine? That's another story.
I think you got it backwards: he is subject to random testing. He uses, he's gone. Easy as pie.
If he's a whack job, that's your different story.

Just to be clear, the context of my reply was someone offering why he may not be in favor of the guy being offered a chance.
It seems to me your context is the criteria for banishment from the league.
Apples and oranges though I appreciate there is some overlap.
I understood your context. The reason you offer him the second chance on the drugs is exactly because detection is available and reliable.
Unless you find it irredeemable that a college kid did blow. I don't. I don't care what he did, only what he does going forward.
Ahhhh, OK, Pistol.
I think we are in general agreement. My point about the cocaine was simply that that is the big wildcard. Not that I would not be in favor of giving such a person another opportunity, just that it would not shock me if some day he tests positive and that's all she wrote.
So many anomalies. Bullets, corpses, wacked out nut jobs; all anomalous for a mass murder.
Sorry, were we talking about cocaine?
Kind'a weird that Batman The Dark Man Rises references both Aurora and Sandy Hook.
Here's the Sandy Hook reference:

Sandy Hook is loaded with anomalies:
from your veteranstoday link
Jeff Rense and Alex Jones
In the meanwhile, the has been featured by prominent figures such as Jeff Rense and Alex Jones, among many other radio hosts, who have appreciated the importance of what he is attempting to do
Alex is a top notch whack job. My guess is so is Rense.

The Batman thing is what really swayed my opinion to your side.
I'm rooting for him to succeed and bring success to both the Green Bay Packers and more importantly himself. is that rong? cuz I'm still gonna do it.
This thread just became stupendous.
Spanish speaking Al Queda bats here to take American bat jobs and then blow those jobs up with tiny bat suicide bombs.
It's all so clear to me now.
If those bats get food stamps and citizenship-----I'm gonna be pissed.

Of course not. Hell, I'm going to root for the turd too. At least he has the excuse of being young and dumb unlike others who regurgitate conspiracy idiocy.

About 500 of them in one house, sounds about right.

Their housing subsidy just expired....
Those bats work harder than the bats born here. 'nuff said.
I heard El Batmano is only here because of his marriage-based green card.
Here's the real mastermind of the situation.
I miss Old Sarge and his macrobiotic diet stuff.
The one person that actually faked his death.

Classic symptom of anomalous overdose...poor bastard's full of anomalies.
Some dumb mother ****ers in the world.
