I honestly don't care to be right or wrong, but my lord... you think this is a 1 hit thing? This is 10 years in the making and more with the organization and their accountability issues. Most of us have played sports and a lot of us have played at a high level, and I'm assuming you have in your life, too. You know what it's like to be in a room with accountability issues. It's toxic. It's beyond toxic. That locker room is a bigger issue than you think. When adversity is faced, they are the Bengals and everyone knows it.
From a Bengals standpoint: Get rid of Jones, as he walks into FA, and make a statement that you chose to move on due to the accountability issues. Even if it's not true. Then add a game to Burfect and talk about him being a leader who needs to get his head out of his ass for the betterment of the team. That makes your star player responsible and accountable going forward AND you set in motion a new era of Bengals football.
From a Burfect standpoint: The body of work doesn't need to be written to you in one article. It's been there for as long as he's been a high profile player. This isn't one hit. This isn't about two hits. This is a body of work since his high school days. This needs to be taken care of now for the safety of other players and for Burfect's standpoint.
I wasn't going to respond, since you flat out said you're not interested in having factual information, but figured I'd throw this out there anyway.
"This" is not 10 years in the making. The new era of bengals football you call for began after the death of Chris Henry, and came into full effect in the season following Carson Palmer's departure. A philosophical shift was a key condition for Marvin Lewis to agree to return as coach, and their track record of acquiring players via both free agency and the draft since that time is loaded with high character, low key, players and staggeringly few "character risks". Vontaze Burfict, and the recent actions of Pacman are the extreme outliers on a team led by guys like Andy Dalton, Andrew Whitworth, AJ Green, Leon Hall, Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Tyler Eifert, etc.
There are hardly any players left (if any) from the 05-06 era arrest-laden past of this team, nearly a decade ago. But at the end of the day, no one cares about the character reformation of a mediocre franchise so the reputation lives on.
Ironically, the quiet reserved nature of the new bengals core is one of the biggest reasons attention has never shifted away from the old reputation. There's nothing exciting or noteworthy about a bunch of quiet dudes who do a pretty good job. But everyone remembers when Pacman Jones and his boys shot up a strip joint way back when. "Pacman jones is a Bengal? Figures....who's Geno Atkins?"
The Bengals don't have a long standing accountability problem, at least in terms of player conduct. They currently have an isolated Vontaze Burfict problem and a Pacman Jones problem. The latter of which is likely done, as they've been preparing for his departure for a while. It's up to Marvin Lewis, and the leadership core I mentioned above, to reel in their most important and dynamic defensive player.
You are just saying that because it sounds like you are making a strong argument. In 2014 they were on a news article that had them at 42 total arrests on the team and landed #1 in arrests in the NFL.
