The only player with real character concerns as far as I'm concerned is Greg Hardy, and even that is debatable. I don't think we really know the full story of what happened, and the circumstances surrounding them. I think we draw our own conclusions based on a pattern we see, and maybe some antics and personality traits.

I don't think Gregory has concerns people think he has. I don't think Collins has any concerns we should be worried about, unless something changes in regards to this case. I don't think Dez Bryant has concerns at this point either.

Joseph Randle may be another story, but I'm not too worried about him either. I think this team will be fine.

Most of these guys except Hardy and Collins can be chalked up to immaturity and probably less than ideal home life. I am not saying forget any of it happened but handle them case by case with all the information at hand

Collins is very mature for someone his age. He is a victim of circumstance and nothing more.

In terms of players you most have to worry about from that standpoint:

1) Hardy - In a class by himself. Not a fan of the signing because he's the only one who seems to not care what anyone else says he's going to do his own thing based off the incident with the law and the tweets last weekend/Monday.

2) Randle - Throws Dez under the bus to a cop while detained. Then has some weird stuff in Wichita not too long after. He doesn't get much notoriety because of his role but he's second most concern.

3) Gregory - Don't think he's a bad person at all. Just think he's immature. Needs to separate himself from bad influences much like Dez.

4) Dez - Not worried about him like coming into the league. Just worry that this contract is going to have him saying things he and the team will regret.

5) McClain - Always something surrounding him. Not a bad guy but seems to always be involved with something.

Rest of guys like Scandrick and Law have been rumored to be able to cause problems if things get extreme but I wouldn't worry about them. Again outside of Hardy who I think with Gregory and Lawrence is expendable, no one is a nightmare. Give Randle one more tiny incident and he'll probably be cut anyway.

I live close enough to the Eagles market so after they signed Michael Vick i don't have to worry about too many people talking about character concerns.

Tell grandma to apply for a RB position on this team, even she can get 1800 yards behind that line.

At least we didn't have a player that murdered someone and is going to jail and who cheated during the playoffs.

There is no basis to reasonably believe that this team's roster has more character concerns than any other roster in the league.

Its a good test of football IQ, if someone says otherwise.

Kinda like when people tell me Romo is not a good QB, or a "choker," or some other unwarranted label--it tells me all I need to know about their football knowledge, or lack thereof.

I bet if you take the entire roster and count great character guys vs "bad character" guys, Dallas will be better than almost any other team.

This is nonsense

There's only 3-4 that have any sort of question marks.....and even that isn't so cut and dry.
We keep 63.
