Is lack of discipline a valid concern for this team?

I was fearful Dareus would turn out to be a third based on the two civil suits filed against him, but one was dismissed and there have been no other reported incidents since he arrived here, so I can't put him with the other two.

Ramsey's only "crime " is his outspokenness.  Until that turns into uncommon and disruptive insubordination,  I can't list him with Fowler  or Fournette,  either.

Of course the article begs the question of what constitutes a discipline issue in the first place.

Lawrence Taylor was known for drug use and constantly being late and skipping practices for golf.

John Riggins was known for often being drunk in the locker room and in meetings.  His teammate,  DE Dexter Manley, ran afoul of the league's substance abuse policy several times.

The Patriots employed Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of murder.

All three of those franchises went to Super Bowls with those guys on the rosters.

Did those teams have discipline problems?

Look who the coaches were of the teams you mention.  Bill Parcels, Joe Gibbs, and Bill Belichick
