[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1002879, member: 7261"] Interesting conversation and a good one on "Red Flags". What is a bigger Red Flag for a team? A mechanical or physical issue that may effect a players abilities or a character flaw, legal issue, etc.? Hard to find choir boys that graduated summa *** laude and won the Heisman, while volunteering weekly at the local homeless shelter. So how does a team classify and weight character flaws? Is a weak passing arm a bigger red flag for a QB, than him being suspended for 1 game due to undisclosed disciplinary actions? How about a guy that gets into a fight on the field VS a guy that gets into one off the field? Obviously, everyone and every team, probably views things differently. They add up all the red flags, weight them on seriousness, frequency, ability to correct etc. and then add it into their player evaluation. I recall when Joe Mixon was coming out of Oklahoma (2017) and he got into some off the field issues and suddenly his character was a huge red flag for many. The Bengals still rolled the dice on him and took him in the 2nd round (#48). At the time, I wouldn't have touched him with a 10 foot pole. Seems to have worked out for the Bengals, well up until now, Mixon is back in some hot water having to do with a shooting near his home, his gun supposedly being the one used, by his sisters boyfriend. Anyway, Red Flags....they definitely mean something, just what they mean though, varies from person to person, team to team. [/QUOTE]
