He apparently was arrested for "mouthing off".
I'll wait and see before I permanently condemn Pacman.

The proposed Haden trade and our draft needs going into next year got me to thinking- whoever is responsible for the Bengals defensive drafting the last three years (ahem, Marvin) needs to be replaced:
2011 third round: Dontay Moch
2011 fifth round: Robert Sands
2012 first round: Dre Kirkpatrick
2012 second round: Devon Still
2012 third round: Brandon Thompson
2012 fifth round: Shaun Prater
2013 second round: Margus Hunt
2013 third round: Shawn Williams
2013 fourth round: Sean Porter (who?!)
I'm not advocating giving up on anyone from 2013 too soon, but jesus, we have gotten literally ZERO production out of NINE guys who were drafted in the top 5 rounds the last THREE years. We haven't gotten ANYTHING. Not even good practices! It is even more amazing we have as good of a defense as we do - more credit to Zimmer. There is no one I am omitting here that was drafted in the top 5 rounds in the last 3 years to play defense, this is the list. What. the. hell?!
Go BLUE!!!
I won't. Where there is smoke, there is fire. It's not like it's the same police officer that keeps arresting him over and over again. When you're already in that much hot water and have that much on the line, keep your mouth shut. Completely shut. Don't be out past 2am. Don't be at bars (at least during the season). Don't be out driving around with people who are intoxicated. It's really not that hard.
I commend him for his play yesterday. I condemn him for his lifestyle choices, especially at this point. Trade for Haden and release this bum.
Go BLUE!!!
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
I'm not waiting for anything. He's had seven previous arrests and still can't keep his mouth shut when a police officer is present? He also allegedly wouldn't agree to a breathalyzer (again, not a first). This garbage never should have been in a Bengals uniform to begin with.
Yeah I'm not going to condemn a guy for living his life. Going to a bar doesn't make you an instant criminal.
And btw, Pacman wasn't "arrested", he received a citation. I.e., he got a ticket.
At least he didn't take a champagne bottle to the skull from a stripper ala Jacoby Jones.
It ain't a party until someone gets hit with a bottle of Ace of Spades.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I would wait till the facts are out. Disorderly Conduct, along with Obstructing Official Business, is a charge commonly abused by police to give them an excuse to arrest someone. I've had clients get arrested for DOC or OOB for silly stuff such as telling someone they have a constitutional right not to talk to police or videotaping police and refusing to shut off the camera. Some officers use those charges as an excuse to arrest someone for doing something they don't like, even if it's perfectly legal. My guess is that, unless he did something likee pick a fight with someone, it will get dismissed or plead out for fines and costs. If they arrested him for "mouthing off," there may be a first amendment issue. You're allowed to tell the police off, as long as it's within certain bounds (no threats or attempts to incite others).
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

He's got to "have a good year" and I think your definition is a good one. If he continues to throw throw picks, fumble and overthrow open WRs then his critics have a case. I'm not expecting him to be Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. Only Alex Smith. Look at what Smith has done this year. Three games: no INTs, no fumbles. That's the definition of a game manager if I've ever seen one. Simply put: Dalton is not Alex Smith yet. But he'd better get there this year because he has a lot more to work with than Smith does at KC

Moch, Kirkpatrick, Prater and Porter have all had injury problems. It's a little early to give up on Hunt and Williams. Hunt was drafted with the expectation that he wouldn't contribute much this year. Still and Thompson are stuck behind elite DTs. Most analysts would say that the Bengals have been one of the best drafting teams over the last few years.
