Remember the draft with Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins, Talib, Flowers.....

There was some non sense out there that Talib had attitude issues or whatever.

I dont recall perfectly but it was something along those lines.

Anyway he ended up being the best of that bunch.

Hopefully same situation.

Talib was part of a notorious Gang in Dallas growing up and in the offseason. It’s why Garrett never wanted him back here. Probably a good idea.

The rapping is inconsequential to his success, it's a hobby like anything else so as long as it doesn't affect his profession, have at it. If he was was a guitar enthusiast we wouldn't even know about it. I don't know much about the suspension/exile from LSU, and that could potentially be the only thing that would concern me. But again, I don't know enough about it to say if it's a red flag or not.

I don’t know the full details either.


David Helman from cowboys.com went to LSU and talked to people there. And his sources told him that Joseph wasn’t really a problem and a lot of them didn’t want to see him go. And that Joseph is a good person.

Some of the intimations tells me that Joseph got in trouble for smoking weed and some failed tests because of it. But not really anything else.

if that’s really the case. It’s not so concerning now that weed doesn’t get you suspended in the NFL.

prior to that rule change. It would be a concern. But now it shouldn’t be a problem if he smokes weed.

He had issues with showing up for practice. He also shut it down last year for Kentucky, and his coaches advised him to opt out.

That could be true too. Doesn’t mean anything I posted isn’t also true.

we will see. An 18-19 year old being late or now
Showing up for some practices is something that is correctable though with some growth and maturity.

If a kid plays football because he's good at it, not because he loves it, and his passion is for music, I wouldn't be so optimistic that he will change his ways. Especially when he did the other before getting paid. As they say, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

You’re also making an assumption about his feelings and motivations without knowing him or having ever talked to him.

Ultimately we will find out one way or another.
