Per Underhill Winston deal could count against comp picks

Your avatar of a son and dad (you?) wearing #9. Not sure I'd want my son sporting a #2 in the future. It may be a hard nosed business for the owners but it is a sport for the fans and character counts. In my reading JW has never accepted any responsibility. He says what his agent coaches him to say but I have never seen any actual contrition. I'm not fond of entitled celebrity. His interview was effective but he stumbled when he tried to do humbled.

The Uber driver's complaint was very believable and if you read it the part about his verbal altercation with strangers swearing and yelling racial epithets is almost as disturbing as thinking he can maul an uber driver because he is an NFL QB.

Until he takes ownership of his past I''m not in a forgiving mood. As someone else pointed out He is No Teddy. I'd have no problem putting a #5 of my son.

I only have a few NFL players on my list of "great guys" with Drew. When men are that good, it stands out and should be appreciated.
That being said... in most cases, I don't combine on-field and off-field for the players I like or dis-like. Football is separate for me. I know that not everyone feels this way. Heck, we go to Angola's prison rodeo now and then and cheer for rapist and murderers. Now, when a players off-field behavior actually effects a team? THAT I'm strongly against. But to tell the truth, I judge football players by football as much as possible. What happens on Sunday is why I watch the game. I don't look for these guys to be role models for me or my kids. Some, like Drew are so great that they trump that.

As far as the jersey... yeah, that's me and my youngest. And no, I imagine we'll never wear a Winston Jersey. But truthfully? I'm not a jersey guy. We'll probably still be wearing those toilet bowl lid jersey 20 years from now. lol. Well, that's not true. I've shrunk 45 lbs in the past year so I'll prolly have to get a new one. If I buy one this year, it'll be #9. If I buy one next year? who knows. Won't be Winston. I'm not THAT forgiving.

But I get and totally respect your opinion.
