Joe isn't quite a Burfict type player but they did take a chance on him because of his past actions.
I don't trust them to be able to pick RB talent anymore.
I get what you're saying about scheme and great blocking that open holes enough for pedestrian running backs, but I'm not holding my breath they can get it done.
So far they have whiffed on linemen.
It's laughable to think they'll ever spend on D or O-linemen in free agency.
I'd rather them spend money on Joe than waste it on Gio, Hart, Jerry, DreK, and the list goes on.
The other thing you're forgetting is this team NEEDS players with passion to win and the fire to motivate others.
I think Mixon is more valuable for this particular team than what you're giving him credit here.
The Bengals sadly have to do things differently, even if what you say is true about the rest of the league.
Pay to keep the talent unless they're injury prone and on the back-side of their career.
Agreed, they actually hit on a player, keep said player.
