Quote:He probably did need the money.  So?  Maybe that will help to slap him back into reality.  We don't know, nor should we care what his financial situation is.  None of our business.  My hope is that he figures this thing out and turns it around.

 

Let's remember that he's a very young guy who had some significant demons to deal with.  He's made his mistakes.  How he responds to this is what matters at this point.  There have been guys with far bigger problems who managed to turn things around.  There's nothing to indicate he couldn't do the same thing. Most of his issues are tied to a lack of maturity.  Hopefully he's done some growing up over the past year and a half. 

I'm with you. His financial business is his, I was just responding to a quote. I'm not down on him as a person. Hopefully he does get it back together all I'm saying is that he is in "prove it"mode with me. He has a long history of this type of behavior dating back before he was drafted. He had no issue with putting millions on the line so to me he seems to not really understand the gravity of the situation. He is an adult and will do what he feels he should. I see this as another situation of wasted talent but hopefully I'm wrong. It just really bothers me when I see these guys blessed with this type of talent and throw away there ability to go in history and make millions just because they can't stay away from weed or alcohol for a few years. 

 

He has shown me he feels drugs are more important than a career in the NFL with his actions. I don't say that to be down on him its just what he has shown me. He doesn't even seem like a butthead from interviews. Seems to be a really likable guy. His priority just seems to be the sauce and the wacky tabacky. Nothing wrong with that if thats what he chooses. As a fan of the jaguars though, I choose to not hold out hope for him to come back to the team.
