Clowney would have stayed in College if paid

#9

Quote:He didn't play very well last season and is expecting to get paid.

 

The truly great ones are motivated by the love of the game not the love of money.

 

Once he gets paid and the money is in his pocket, what's his motivation to put in the time and effort needed to play at the top of his abilities?

 

I can see this guy getting a bunch of money and deciding he can now afford to spend his time pursuing his actual interests. Too many red flags on this guy for my tastes. 
 

This has been my #1 question about Clowney, and I've stated it a few times here. He'll likely have a good career, mirroring that of Peppers or Mario Williams. But given the culture and what Bradley preaches (competition, getting better every day), then I'm not sure Clowney will be a fit if what we're hearing about him is true.

 

They'll need to do their due diligence on him big time and see if he's a guy who's going to get paid, get complacent, then turn it on again when its time for his next contract.
