Keep bringing in guys with character issues Bengals! It works!
As for Burfict...his issues were all on the field or in the lockerroom where he waited for a teammate and punched him.
2 of the guys on my list costed us a playoff game against the Steelers with personal fouls at the end of a game.
My point with listing the guys is Marvin has never had a roster devoid of guys with character issues. The Bengals specifically targeted those guys as they could be obtained cheaply.
My point went totally over your head.
You lumped Burfict in with only guys who have been known for off of the field issues. Has Burfict had off the field issues? No. You stretched the facts to try and make your point more valid. Way to jump ship to another argument though.
Joe Mixon - Slotted draft spot determines his price.
Vonteze Burfict (even though he isn't a criminal.) - Fell out of the draft and the Bengals got high end talent for a steal. You wanna complain about that?
Cedric Benson - Brought in mid-season after injuries. He played well enough in 08 to secure the starting role 09 and had a great season that ended with us sweeping the AFC North. Once again you wanna complain about that?
Adam Jones - Was great until the playoff game. Should have been arguably cut there. Should have been cut for sure after the incident during the off-season
Chris Henry - Obviously full of trouble hasn't played for the team in a decade nearly.
If you want to complain about cheap talent then go for it choir boy but every story hasn't been a disaster.
So let me get this straight Marvin didn't cause the playoff loss and Hill didn't cause the playoff loss? Only on Burfict and Jones.. Just wanted to get this straight when your story will change depending on your mood and what thread you are in.
