1. What’s your one-word reaction to the JPJ arrest?

2. 1 word …Damn!

3. 1 word Disheartening

4. Fontenot picked a low-character guy. Every other GM had passed him up. He went against Arthur's "character policy." Arthur ain't dumb..

5. He made a terrible decision with someone he has no long lasting ties (marriage, kids). It’s no worth it.

6. Hope Mr. Pearce gets the help he needs and gets his life together. The consequences of these poor decisions are likely to severely impact his playing career, or even curtail it completely. As disappointing as this is to Falcon fans and the Falcon team/staff, it’s more important he address his personal demons. Otherwise, he’s going to have a very rocky road ahead of him. Thankfully, it appears neither Ms Jackson nor any of the police officers were injured. As bad as this is, it could have been so much worse.

7. I always said his off field conduct would be a big risk. Grateful for his play but man…this is bad.

8. Someday, the Falcons will – finally – realize that character matters. Find out who you're giving millions of dollars to.

9. As someone that’s been involved in law enforcement for 30 years. I caution people to reserve judgement. Jackson did not file a Restraining Order against Pierce so it’s her word against his. She can say whatever she wants but if she felt he was stalking her and was in fear she should have filed a restraining order. This is he said she said . He didn’t physically assault her . So in my opinion this case is not going anywhere. Had he physically assaulted her it would be different. He said she said . She said he did something he can say he didn’t..

10. If all the charges stick the amount of time served depends on if his charges are served concurrently or consecutively. For those amount of charges the amount of time served can be drastically different.

11. The falcons need to prepare for life without JPJ. He’s serving some time in some way.

12. Definitely more to the story Moose

13. I hate to think we lost a first rounder and not even be able to utilize him in the future.

14. Rickea Jackson is fine ass hell but damn JP just go find another. WNBA player we need him after that QB this season

15. I don’t wanna be negative. But remember Vick. He went to prison. We were without a QB for a year I believe. We got Matt Ryan. Hate Ryan all you want but he did bring us good things. Not saying this may happen but what if history repeats itself. Ryan became the best QB in falcons history. We get a pass rusher that then becomes the best pass rusher in falcons history

16. He’s so done for

17. Yes

18. Im preparing for the worst

19. Yea

20. Due to the timing of this, I believe there’s more to this story than what will be reported on. He’s being initiated or shown that he needs to comply or else his career will be in jeopardy.

21. My guess is he just ends up with a 6-10 game suspension on top of whatever time he may miss while in jail or prison. And that might not even kick in until the 2027 season because this whole thing could take over a year. The NFL usually waits until all the legal stuff is dealt with before they levy a punishment on the players. He'd probably have to get a multi-year prison sentence to end his career. I'm not saying that's what should happen. That's just my prediction of what will probably happen. I mean look at Jalen Carter. He illegally raced his car on public roads in a race that killed 3 people. If Carter doesn't race that day all 3 of those people would still be alive. So Pearce could've killed somebody while Carter's illegal actions did kill several people. Then, almost immediately after those deaths, Carter was still drafted as a top 10 pick. What did he end up getting? 1 or 2 game suspension maybe? If the NFL thinks 3 people losing their lives is only worth a game or 2 what's it worth when nobody loses their life? I think Pearce will still get a bigger suspension but I doubt it ends his entire NFL career. The big question is what will Arthur Blank do? Will he keep him on the team and take all the backlash he will get for doing that? Or will he release him like he did with Michael Vick just to watch him get picked up for free by another team like the Eagles and then go on to have a great career there like Vick did? So to me the 2 biggest questions are how much jail time he will get and how the Falcons as a team will react. I doubt the NFL suspends him for anything longer than 1 season. 1 thing the NFL might do though is void all the guarantees in his contract. As a 1st round pick his entire contract is guaranteed. So if the Falcons can get out of those guarantees it could make them more inclined to release him so they can save that money. This is definitely one of the dumbest and downright craziest things I've ever seen an active NFL player ever do though. Aaron Hernandez and Chris Henry might be the only 2 I've seen do crazier. Jalen Carter and Henry Ruggs were worse because they killed people but more than anything I thought they were just being stupid and irresponsible and that their wrecks were definitely accidental. What Aaron Hernandez, Chris Henry and now James Pearce did clearly looks intentional. I can only imagine a downright crazy person intentionally doing what Pearce did.

22. Smh big trouble

23. Disappointment

24. 20,500 bond for 5 felonies, high profile. Bonding to another state with money to flee doesn't sound right if it's as bad as the media is portraying.

25. 2026/2027 season is already falling apart

26. I never believe a woman until I have hard facts.

27. Of course we have to make arrest charges graphics the day after the Super Bowl. Stay strong moose

28. Bro nobody story matches. It’s bullcrap. On one hand the Miami police department telling their local news Pierce and Jackson both came to the precinct to argue their points when Pierce ran out and hopped in her Lambo and took off then ATL news talking about the police say they were called and intercepted the incident as it unfolded. This case bullcrap with 35 different timelines already.

29. He probably get probation ! Read the room 20000 dollar bond in Miami !! This guy is exaggerating the situation

30. Bad news he did this in FL good news its n Miami Dade county. If these allegations are true he should do 8-10 years in prison these actions are unacceptable and any average joe in society would go to prison. He should never play in the NFL again.
    What will probably happen is he will get a sweetheart deal pleading, to only misdemeanors, get 1 year of probation and the NFL will give him a 10 game suspension.
    NFL loves to virtue signal but when the rubber hits the road, getting butts in seats and making money sweeps accountability under the rug.

31. I DONT CARE if he had doubled Myles Garret sack record, i don’t want him on my team… bury him under the jail

32. Put the suspension behind. He is looking at some serious prison time. I remain optimistic but it doesnt look good.

33. Draft Golday.. need the versatility now

34. FFS

35. Crazy how so many people seem to be so devastated for a fucking criminal. Who knows what else he was able to get away with by virtue of being a gifted athlete. At this point, lets have NFL games played inside prisons.

36. Here we are thinking we won the draft selection of JPJ in the first round and missing out on not having a first round draft pick this coming draft…..now after the season is over, we may be screwed 😢

37. Not his fault dinner was late.

38. Resign Ellis and put him on the edge this year if its needed.

39. Michael Vick saga with a new name.

40. Not justifying what happen. But he won’t be facing jail time. It’s all a matter of will Atlanta release him or not

41. NFL should grow a set and ban him period!.

42. Could be looking at serious jail time

43. Why give this idiot the time of day. He ruined himself. The end

44. 5 min mark about Atl falcons 'vetting' him. must not have
    looked into his relationships, the Vetting person needs improvement
