Bottom line is, hurt ego is hurt ego and can motivate anybody to excel at a high level. I'm not saying that's going to happen here, but I suspect there's a decent chance.Seahawk Sailor":34xkc27v said:That may be, but his attitude doesn't say "I'll show you what a 5th round pick is for underestimating me!" like Sherman. It says "I'm entitled to be picked first because that was the hype."
I'd feel more comfortable thinking the guy would succeed if we'd have drafted him. Here at least, I know Pete'll either stamp that attitude right out of him and get him believing in true competition, or cut his ass loose. In Cleveland? He'll be heralded as the "franchise savior" immediately, thrust into a position where he's the assumed, anointed starter, with high expectations thrust on him from the beginning. That doesn't exactly scream "motivated to compete and excel." It says, "Well, here I am. Johnny Goddamned Football. Half the draft pick they said I was. In Cleve Land."

He is Ryan Leaf (mini) version 2.0. I feel bad for Browns fans in advance. I was hoping that Jerry Jones would have NOT listened to his advisors and taken him. Would have loved to see that S show in Dallas. 8)GLOCKHAWK":13bgzwtx said:I honesly have no idea why this "this goofy ass tool" thinks he is gonna be a successful NFL quarterback?
