Quote:Oh yeah, the competition Clowney faced is absolutely better than the MAC, no question.

 

I guess for me (and I understand the opposing viewpoint), if I have to choose between a guy who I know will play every down relentlessly and play between at a possibly All-Pro level, and a guy who has out-of this world talent but questionable work ethic, I'm taking the first guy.

 

It's like this. If you could have a triple every hit, vs a home run one time and a strike out the next, who would you take? I would take the first guy because if a transcendent talent is to be the foundation of a defense, he needs to be consistent first.

The problem I have about this perceived knock against Clowney is what exactly is he lacking in work ethic. All I have heard is he doesn't work as hard few other big name players that college had when it comes to practice......


How does that translate to bad or no work ethic?????


I haven't heard he is lazy, I haven't heard he has problems in practice (i.e. Not showing up, or showing up late), I haven't heard he doesn't take the time to look at film.


All we have really heard is that he doesn't "work as hard as Latimore"......so because he doesn't work as hard as a couple of players now he has horrible work ethic???? It makes no sense.
