Smart people picked me earlier though as they knew my true skills and could oversee my obesity. I was a defensive specialist in dodgeball (good where everyone was obsessed with offense) and no one covered me in the endzone in football, so I made for an easy target for a TD.

Expand Perhaps when they got into shotgun it wasn’t going to be a run, but they lined up under center more than shotgun and they were middle of the pack throwing from under center. Gotta be able to do it in the nfl

He is being motivated in a way which will hurt him long term. He demonstrates a lack of self-confidence, not just in his playing ability, but overall, which will only further hurt him in his interactions with others and his career. But he is young. Maybe he will change, but usually those traits are deeply engrained from abuse and dysfunction at an early age and cannot be changed. He may have a personality disorder. I feel his angers overflows, and that is unhealthy and will be his eventual undoing. 1

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 This also means he's going to have a list of teams that passed on him in the draft. I can see this guy just killing the Jets every season.

Doc Brown Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 On 3/31/2018 at 2:27 PM, RiotAct said: just like Trump. I like it! Expand That was my first thought and he ended up steamrolling through the competition to become president whether you like him or not despite hardly anybody giving him a chance. Playing with a chip on your shoulder has made many successful NFL quarterbacks. Drew Brees and Russel Wilson were too short. Tom Brady had one of the worst combines in for a QB ever and wasn't picked until the 6th round despite a solid career at Michigan. Aaron Rodgers had to painfully wait in the green room as he kept sliding down the draft and then had to sit behind Brett Favre for a few years. There's countless examples and I'm sure many of them mentioned took a mental note of people who doubted them (scouts, pundits, coaches, GM's, etc.). Mayfield could also be a headcase so I think he's a risky pick, but could turn out to be a great QB. 1
