You aren't buying the "red flag BS" anymore? Guess who you have a ton in common with? Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato. You are in good company.
Believe it or not, leadership accounts for more than you can imagine. Teddy Bruschi comes to mind.

I think you & Angry are portaying this as either/or. Sure, the kid has some bad history but he may be smart & mature enough that he'll be able to deal w/it. At the same time, I certainly agree that team can't & won't just ignore this stuff.
For the right price, it's worth the risk. I always look back at Warren Sapp as the classic case of teams overeacting, he fell back out of the top 10 due to reports of a positve drug test. We passed on Sapp & got M. Westbrook instead. How'd that turn out?
