Quote:I remember the red flags with Blackmon before the draft from prior alcohol related incidents in college and people willing to defend the guy saying "Oh it happened so long ago, he's been clean since", "He was just being a college kid", "Who cares about his past issues look he's helping some sick kid in the hospital!" etc etc.


A pattern is a pattern and you'd be a fool to willfully ignore it.

 

Blackmon's red flags was very minor (was the DUI when he wasn't even driving, but they had open containers and that is enough to qualify in OK).

 

Michael Floyd had worse red flags than JB, and most during draft time viewed Floyd as a bigger risk.

 

Floyd, it appears, has been able to turn things around in his life while JB's gotten arrest after arrest ever since.
