Mixon will apprentice under PAC Man

Mixon shares an agent with Jones and has talked to him once or twice.”He’s a good dude,” Mixon said. ”Coming over here, I’m sure he’ll show me around.”

Azubuike24;1850904 wrote:The point is the Bengals already have a shitty reputation and it will remain probably as long as Marvin Lewis, Mike Brown, Adam Jones and Vontaze Burfict remain part of the organization. The public won't ever let it down, even if they go years without having someone arrested. Therefore, why would you all of the sudden take a moral high ground and pass on Mixon when he's one of the best talents of the whole draft and you need a RB?

Laley23;1850908 wrote:We won't ever know if people let Cincys reputation go, because they won't LET THE ACTUAL PROBLEMS GO! Keeping all those guys, drafting Mixon, bad look.

If if they had parted ways, and not draft problems, who knows? Maybe people DO say nice job?

friendfromlowry;1850903 wrote:I think what S&L is calling you out on was originally worded odd by you. But I get your point. The Bengals are a moral dumpster fire with or without Mixon. I badly wanted them to cut Pacman instead of giving him his 20th second chance. Obviously no one in the organization cares about accountability or doing the right thing. Mike Brown is terrible.

I was really hoping after they blew the Pittsburgh playoff game due to those idiots that they would clean house and realize this culture hasn't won shit and it's what's keeping them from getting to the next level (AKA winning a damn playoff game). But they keep Marvin who doesn't hold any of the players accountable, and so Jones will always do what he does, Burfict will always be a player who gets a ton of personal fouls and does stupid shit (see the hit on the Ravens TE 2 years ago), and the Bengals will keep their ceiling as a 10-12 win team that doesn't have the discipline to win in the playoffs.

superman;1850926 wrote:Exactly. My only fear with cutting ties with Burfict is the Steelers picking him up and him crippling AJ with a cheap shot.
