I was checking out the topics on the realgm football section, & i've read about McFadden having 2 more kids on the way. Sounds like a Travis Henry wannabe. Or Shawn Kemp. Great player, but lots of people aren't liking what he's doing. Of course what's really important is that he gives a darn about his kids & wanna be in their lives. And the ATL has been having problems with the popular players lately.
I clicked on to the read part & most of the Falcon fans on there don't want McFadden because of this. Someone reported that he did some other stuff I never heard of until reading it. They'd rather have Jake Long or Matt Ryan. They'd be ok with Glen Dorsey. I wish the Dolphins would take Dorsey. But what do Falcon fans here think? 1 person actually called McFadden a thug cause he has kids out of wedlock :o . Weird cause the John Wayne glamourboy Tom Brady has an out of wedlock child & ain't nobody callin him a thug.
What's more important to Falcon fans here? A good player with great character issues? Or a great player who can sell out the stadium with questionable character? Out of the 1st round picks that can bring in more fans would be McFadden, not the other 5 players mentioned that's goin in the top 5.

I don't mind our football players being parents.

In today's society, having kids out of wedlock isn't a big deal. Now maybe 50 years ago it is but with so many people having sex and not waiting till their wedding day to lose their virginity, it isn't a surprise to have a kid out of wedlock. People on ajc.com are insane most of the time. McFadden is a very, very, very good player. We have a ton of picks in this draft coming up. If we trade Hall for the Giants first and a later pick, we would have 4 picks in the first 50 picks. I am against adding Ryan because he isn't doing naything at the combine, and imo, isn't that great of a qb. High int's with our wr's mean a crappy nfl qb.

I agree with McFadden, Long, or even Dorsey. We need pieces, and I think if we take Mcfadden in the first, we can get Flacco in the 2nd, plus an OL or two . Take Jake Long and you can probably have Felix Jones, Mendenhall, or another rb, plus another OL and qb. Take Dorsey, and you can get OL, rb, and a qb.
