Wilson worth keeping even though he ain't even Drake London.
Mims is a bust and Elijah not worth shit either. [Reply]
If he had the leadership qualities needed for the position then he would be given another year. Clearly he doesn't and they have lost the locker room after he took no blame. [Reply]

But you only have a short period of time to really establish yourself as a legit player in the NFL.
Baker Mayfield? More like RGIII. RGIII was a garbage quarterback that blamed his teammates and compared himself to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in post-game interviews. He was a weirdo. I see a lot of that in Zach Wilson. [Reply]

The common thread being that these guys came from lots and lots of money. Because their attitudes seem to be pretty similar. [Reply]

Money's got nothing to do with it. This sounds familiar:
“A lot of the receivers did not like Robert Griffin. The offensive line had a problem with Robert, because they were considered for a year-and-a-half or two years a terrible offensive line that couldn’t protect a quarterback. A lot of that isn’t true. A lot of that was Robert. A lot of the sacks were put on Robert. Want to believe it or not, they were, okay? Football-wise, they were: it was Robert. Robert never took [responsibility] for that,” [Reply]

If Jets don't know to use him trade him to someone who does.
They can have White or Flacco fire immediately to the outlet and go from there. [Reply]

Sounds like a very similar story. What’s the common thread between the two?
There’s an interesting study that suggests kids with a lot of wealth have higher degrees of narcissism and individualism. Largely because they don’t have to depend on others for much of anything. Probably even worse when you are basically handed a starting nfl job without really having to scrap for it. Neither of these guys seem like bad dudes. But they clearly are individualistic especially in their lack of awareness for having genuine accountability. [Reply]
