He's a guy thats great at shutting off the world on the field, but his whole life has been about proving people wrong, and sooner or later with that attitude it catches up to you. You hit this point where you start making it 'me vs the world' and you lash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has 5 kids by 5 different women. Has issues I get all of that. My question is, did his issues cause him to be a character risk coming out of college? Usually when they are, they are in the scouting reports, and of the ones Ive seen, nothing really mentions his character. I just think its silly to compare Tomlin to Marvin Lewis in regards to drafting poor character guys. The drama has been largely caused by players who didnt have character red flags coming out. Martavis is the only character red flag COMING OUT that really backfired. Marvin Lewis drafted players with WELL DOCUMENTED character red flags all the time and it regularly backfired.

jebrick Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Marvin Lewis drafted low character/high talent guys high. 2nd and 3rd round. Even if they though Ab had some issues I have and had no problems spending a 6th round pick on him. I think his teammates knew there would be me issues. Clark's statement when they extended him in year 3. Clark knew that giving him money would lead to issues. Sanders said nearly the same thing.

I can see that, but he didn't become a real diva after his first contract. He actually got better and seemed pretty low key outside of celebrating on the field. His diva attitude didn't seem to take off until 2015 or so, and it's only gotten worse. I get there may have been some things off the field that happened before that... But I don't care about the players personal lives unless it's affecting how they play on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I felt his hard upbringing helped shape the quality person he appeared to be coming out of college. He wasnt a Saint but he had potential to develop under strong leadership. Something we havent had in a long time. This diva stuff doesnt make him a bad person but as a football player imo, it makes him an undesirable one. However some ppl follow talent more than character.
