Lamar is better, but he's also overrated.  Teams have keyed on his running ability and he can't win with his arm and he sucks at reading defenses.

I'm not saying I have any insider information or anything...  But the smack they talked about Kyler just seems so suspect.  He plays video games in his off time so they put that in the contract?  You don't think that all these 20 year olds are playing video games?

ehh... whatever.  I'm just saying that even with all the video game playing, the dude took a 3 win team to the playoffs in 3 years.  And even after that, they still decided to make him look like a schmuck.  You'd think you'd want to praise a guy like that...

They're not flippantly putting that in the contract unless it's interfering with their expectations of how their face of the franchise #1 pick QB should be divvying up his "free time" and perhaps also his level of focus during preparation throughout the week.  I'm presuming they expect he spend some of his "free time" toward improving his game and they clearly weren't seeing that. No one's saying he can't play video games ever, but for some, gaming is an addiction and it can definitely interfere with other aspects of a person's life and career.  Nothing motivates a change in behavior quite like money.
