2 overall #1 draft picks who just did not live up to their #1 billing. They should both be entering the prime of their careers. Instead Winston's red flags included a rape allegation and doing a Trump to an uber driver. Never mind the 30 interceptions. Newton seemed to be more of a fashion model than a serious qb. Then there's Michael Vick-don't get me started. I wouldn't have given either of these folks a 2nd chance much less a first. The owners are either intrigued by their abilities or scared to be called racists. The money they threw away on them was chump change.
Johnny Manziel
They are Hall of Famers compared to JaMarcus Russell.
Cam and Jamis were scum in college. I don’t know why they thought they would get anything different.
There are plenty of great black athletes that are great people too. It has little to do with being black, white, or whatever race.
It isn’t a “Black thing” It is a generational thing.
Art Schlicter
Athlete quarterbacks (big advantage in college) with ego issues.
The balance between athleticism, skill, and football insight was more towards the athletic side for both. Strong, great arms, mobile. But not completely coachable.
Belicheck should give Newton a chance. its between Newton and the Cincinnati redhead. One year prove it. The Dallas qb has no business holding out for more than Jones is offering. Russell Wilson is worth every penny.
Drafted by the Bawlmer Colts
Jones is an idiot, for paying Ezekiel Elliott so much when he still had two years left on his contract. Ask the Rams how that worked out with Todd Gurley, LOL.
Could be a suck thing.
“Doing a Trump to an Uber Driver”
What does that mean?
Ryan Leaf is doing quite well now actually......
>>There are plenty of great black athletes that are great people too.<<
Off the top of my head: Dak Preston, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordon, Shaqille O’Neil
I will bet we could come up with a list of 100 or more.
Maybe Vince Young could explain.
And "doing a Trump" means...?
meanwhile Teddy Bridgewater signed a huge contract with Carolina...a black QB replacing a black QB..
As for Prescott, he will be gone after next year. He has been given to many chances already.
