Judge Mike Weigand and I had a conversation one time about people that appeared in front of him in court.
He said Very few people (in this case: NFL players) are really "Bad Guys"....There are exceptions (in the case of the NFL like Lawrence Phillips or Rae Carruth.)
More people can be categorized in esoteric legal terminology ....Fuckups. They are not really bad, they just can't get their act together to do things right. (I would say John P. Manziel fits in this category. Josh Gordon as well.)
Other people are good that just had like one bad thing happen to them and are not likely to be back in court. (a number of people with 1st time DUIs fit here).
In Campbell's case, he is really none of these. He wasn't a bad guy, and wasn't a fuckup, and...perhaps other than signing with the Browns, didn't do anything bad or have a bad thing happen to him.
In his case....he just wasn't that good.
he wasn't that good because he played for a piece of shit football team....me thinks he would have played well for many other teams...although i still think he would not have won a championship for those better teams...he just was not good enough...
