However, I'm also smart enough to know that a guy like Mixon could have been had in likely the 3rd or 4th round this year. His past legal issues are a sore point with the general public in relation to the NFL, in the current state of affairs. Personally, I didn't think that he was THAT great at Oklahoma. He was part of running back by committee, and got the bulk of his numbers in games where he matched up better than his counterpart.In your mind maybe, not in the masterminds that run the Bengals though. It's going to be a long, long season. It looks like the team has come full circle and they're back to being a very bad team again. Mike totally ignored the offensive trenches and you just can't win consistently without push.
Frankly, I wasn't comfortable with the team selecting him, by virtue of his past legal issues. I thought that the team could have selected just as a dynamic back in a later round. (take a look at Kareem Hunt, for example) But, since the team did indeed select him, I'm obligated by fanhood to forgive and forget about his past transgressions. (especially since I'm a fan and the team also includes guys like Adam Jones, did include Rey Maualuga, and likely a few other womanizers) However, slapping a ho that picks the fight with you, and stalking someone into an establishment and proceeding to punch her out, are two entirely different things in my mind..
