Teams becoming more comfortable with Joe Mixon, than Dalvin Cook

[Mr. Scot]

As to the thread, as I recall one draft site said several GMs were concerned that one of the two had surrounded himself with a load of shady characters.

Not dead certain, but fairly sure it was Cook.

Yeah, it's for sure Cook.  Makes logical sense.

Seems like there's a new Mixon thread here every week lol 

[TheSpecialJuan]

Outrageous

[Clicheking]

Not sure why people are so angry and are arguing about players we will NEVER draft. Its like arguing about who's better in bed Beyonce or Kate Upton. None of us will ever know, so what's the point???

'Teams are more comfortable with Joe Mixon's off field than Dalvin Cook's" -@nfldraftscout on #NFLDraftLive right now

FSU starting running back Dalvin Cook has been suspended indefinitely after being charged with misdemeanor battery, making him the second Seminole to be charged in connection with striking  a woman in two weeks.

Cook was allegedly involved in an incident with a woman on June 23 outside of a Tallahassee bar, Clydes & Costellos, according to a heavily redacted incident report obtained by the Sentinel. The woman, according to a separate probable cause affidavit compiled by the Tallahassee Police Department, had bruises and abrasions after refusing to give her phone number or go home with an FSU football player.

A probable cause affidavit stated one unidentified man approached the woman for her phone number and spoke about taking her home with him. She declined, stating she had a boyfriend. The man and a group of friends identified as five to seven FSU football players, including Cook, began to get into a heated argument with her. She told investigators a person got too close to her and she pushed him away, prompting a man she later identified as Cook to punch her multiple times in the face

Dude, please stop. Every time a Mixon thread threatens to drop to the second page, you start a new one. WHY?

 

Are you convinced that with repetitive actions, you can change an outcome? Because we have this EXACT same argument in every Mixon thread. Nothing has changed. No new news has been brought to light. Yet you persist in bringing this guy up time and time again.

 

We get it. You love Mixon, and want him on this team. That's fine. Lots of folks like players and want them on this team. But they don't have to make a new thread every time his name is mentioned in an article, tweet, or blurb.

 

Over kill will not help you cause. As a matter of fact, all this over kill is probably putting people off to your cause. I know it has for me. My first thought when seeing yet another Mixon thread by you? "Oh great, here we go again."

 

Or. You can ignore this friendly tip, and continue on with your crusade.

 

PS. That said. Mixon is one of the top RBs in the draft. And as such, there will be teams spending the resources needed to vet his life all the way back to his birth. How he holds up during that process will determine his fate.

 

Me personally? If he passes all the tests, and I come away believing I can trust him. I might take him over McCaffery. And I really like me some Mac.

Man i dont know what this forum has against Cook but I cant find anything more than rumors about the kid. He was found not guilty in this case and this is the same rehash of information. 

Greg hardy was never found guilty either

[Cpt slay a ho]

Technically he wasn't found guilty....

@swoonychic13 did you know Mixon was a scumbag?  That's interesting to me.  

Why is he a scumbag? How are you basing this opinion? Do you know him? Or are you just assuming he is a scumbag because he defended himself?

Sorry, but in that situation, he wasn't the one being a scumbag. IMO.

I'm honestly not surprised a lot of teams feel better about Mixon than Cook. The issue with Mixon is that his incident was awful and it was captured on video. That's really damning. But, with Mixon that one incident does seem to be an out of character outlier. What he did was awful and many will find it unforgivable. He'll be off a lot of draft boards, almost certainly our own. He wouldn't be on my draft board. But, someone will give him a chance and you could make a compelling argument that he's earned it. It's not like he has a long laundry list of off-field issues.

Cook is the opposite. He's got the long laundry list. Past actions are the best predictor of future actions. Most of Mixon's past indicates he won't be an issue, aside from that one HUGE asterisk. Most of Cook's past indicates that he will be an issue. Guys with a history of frequent off-field issues usually only get worse when you infuse a lot of money into the equation.

It was a joke.  I know WE both know he's not a scumbag.  That's new information to me as well.

Actually, he's not off as many as you would expect.  He said as many as 15 teams have interviewed him.  That's still a little less than half the NFL.

Interviewed doesn't necessarily mean he's on the draft board.
