Wow you got that from what. I raise my kids to be the best they can be. One is National Honors and headed to college and the other two are honoroll and solid football players. I don't judge people especially when I don't know all the details. I blame society for how people are quick to judge others as if their shot doesn't stink. We can think the Internet for some of it. Sites like volatile where you can hide behind a keyboard and type random remarks without anyone knowing who you are. Yes that is a societal problem.
OMG he was involved in a b.b. Gun fight and drink soda at the fountain at Burger King from a water cup.
Being sober more than you aren't and having your priorities in order helps a lot too. Running aside, brains aside a lot of guys washup and out in the nfl.If the criteria for NFL success at QB is to be like Cam; Kap would have already won the SB and Harbaugh would still be the 49'ers HC. It's the brain. You can have the best arm and physical talents around, but if you cannot process what you see and make the correct read in less than 2 seconds, 3 if your O-line is good, you will not be able find the passing lane, set your feet and make the correct throw. Period. That's why the best are the best year after year. This mobile QB stuff is not new. D's in the NFL are too smart, fast and physical for that style QB to sustain long term success.
Winston runs less than those guys. But he does not read D's quickly. He has a long way to go for the NFL. They can dumb it down and hope he improves like they tried with Tebow. But it will look like what you saw with Oregon for awhile.
Notice how Butch handled the AJ thing versus how Jimbo handled the Winston thing? AJ was arguably just as important to the Vols as Winston was to FSU.
Winston is not VY. People fell in love with VY running ability but he couldn't pass with consistent accuracy. He also didn't work hard and study. Winston is a true prostyle pocket passer.
Winston is going to be really good NFL QB as long as he stays out of trouble.
I hate his guts but he is a stud.
If I'm an NFL GM I'd probably choose another position if possible but if I'm desparate for a QB then I'm taking Winston all day over Mariota and dealing with the devil
Spot on, friend. That's why I said what I said when informed of what happened. Butch handled this 100% the right way. Could not have been handled better.
Actually AJ allegedly bought alcohol for minors this season, resulting in the police being called to his apartment and making a few arrest.
I will probably completely stop watching NFL football if the Titans take him. I will not cheer for that piece of crap but I ain't gonna switch to a new team either.
Don't force my hand Titans!
You know another thing? This may show a difference in fan bases too. I don't recall any criticism of Butch for doing it the way he did. Everyone wanted AJ back if he was innocent but most understood that Butch had to error on the side of caution. It may very well have cost the Vols a game too. Now look at this guy and other FSU fans making excuses for everything he's done. I think in the long run that may bite ole Jumbo in the backside sometime.
You may be correct but I don't remember AJ being charged with buying alcohol for minors. I do remember that minors were at the apartment in possession of alcohol. A few Sheriff's office officers made a big deal out of nothing in that incident IMO.
