If the Bengals start this season with Adam Jones and draft Mixon, I don't know how you can cheer for them.
You let Whit go, keep Adam, and scout Mixon? How can you actually ask people to cheer for a team like that? If I wanted to be an awful person cheering for a bunch of shitbags, I would have been a Steelers fan.
I agree with your post except the Mixon issue. First off, the guy possess great talent that could help any team in the league. Secondly, the Bengals are doing their due-diligence in seeing just who Mixon is character-wise in regards to past transgressions. The best way to do that is to meet with the young man face-to-face, and since he was not extended an invitation to the Combine, a personal meeting in Cincy was necessary (along with Pro-Day analysis). From that point on, the franchise can then make an educated decision on whether they want to draft him or not.
Yet, choosing not to scout him at all would be a disservice to the franchise, as the only information they would rely on would be second-hand accounts.
