But I hear he only had one personal foul since then? One can argue he's not even dirty anymore. He's not a problem for this team. Mixon got in trouble one time, 3 years ago and aside from an argument with a meter maid (who hasn't had one? Those guys are rude as hell) he hasn't seen any off the field trouble. If that video of him hitting that woman never came out, he would have been a top 15 pick. Mixon is not a problem with this team. These guys aren't "thugs".
Pacman is the only real loser on this team. He's a huge repeat offender, might as well say he's a yearly offender. There is no good reason to keep that punk around. I believe it would still send a huge message if we cut his ass, even now. The headlines would be everywhere. There would no doubt be a topic discussion along the likes of "have the Bengals changed their ways?"
But again, even if we keep Pacman around, if we win consistently in the postseason all will be forgotten.
I know Burfict isn't a thug. I know he is nothing like PAC Man off the field. It's about other fans perceptions of Burfict and even Mixon. Every time there is an article about PAC man doing something stupid Burficts name gets brought up in the comment section. It's not fair for him it's just how he is perceived. Shazier and DeCastro play just as dirty but nobody assumes they are out at night causing havoc. I think people just assume Burfict is just because he's a Bengal.
