Is it because one is more talented than the other? Is it because one was a potential #1 draft pick prior to his incident and the other most thought was a bad choice to draft at all?
I am not just asking you, I am asking anyone who is now defending Mixon, but ready to throw Walton out of the NFL now.
You bring up a good point, but I think the focus is the trouble that has been caused as a member of he Bengals. What Mixon did was indeed several magnitudes worse BUT he hasn’t had any trouble since being drafted. Cincinnati gave him his shot and while no one knows for certain, I would assume they had him on a short leash if he messed up again.
Meanwhile, Walton has caused trouble as a member of the Bengals. That would be the main difference. For what it’s worth, I don’t think he should be cut over this. I think it’s a stupid incident by him but I certainly don’t think it is severe enough to warrant just dumping him. He isn’t a huge contributor so if he DOES get cut, it isn’t a big deal but I’d say put him on thin ice and keep him.
