Thought of the Day: 10 years from now, will Mixon still be vilified?

His play on the field should also help his cause. He reminds me of Ladainian Tomlinson when I watch him play. If he can be anywhere close to performing like Tomlinson then he's a STAR. Multiple Pro Bowler with high impact Fantasy value once Hill leaves. If he does this, his reputation changes for the better automatically in the eyes of many NFL and Fantasy fans. He seems smart enough to get it and stay out of trouble, but at the very least the woman hitting incident will always be mentioned. Could easily be getting mentioned with Ezekiel, Le'veon & David Johnson within a few years as one of the Best backs in the NFL in my opinion. A Top 10 back to me seems likely with a good chance of cracking the Top 5 someday.

That's why I didn't even bring that part up in my original post.
How well or poor a person is at his or her job shouldn't determine whether they are a good person or bad person.
But yes, I agree that most national people will act like nothing ever happened if he's a star, yet bring it up constantly if he struggles on or off the field.
