Re: Picking talent or character
I remember reading an article about how to pick a pro bowl player. It said that a high percentage of pro bowlers had a positive drug test in their past.Remember Sapp. Not many of players in the hall of fame were boy scouts. Lawrence Taylor was a train wreck off the field. Its time that the league gets in sync with society. I don't endorse smoking weed ,but to criminalize it and penalize it while selling beer and glamorizing it seems to me hypocritical. The league knows that a huge percentage of players smoke weed.

RG has had many issues so he isn't a one time screw up with weed but here is my concern - Discipline & timing. The lack thereof to quit in time for testing that he already knew that could impact his multi- million dollar contract. I think the mindset of the Saints front office is to draft productive/professional young men & not guys with questionable character issues, especially with their first pick in this years draft. |
