Winston declaring for the NFL Draft

[Twigg4075]

Apparently the Publix had a thing going with some of the FSU players allowing them to just take food without paying.

I wouldn't doubt that in the slightest. These student athletes, especially big stars like Winston, are treated like kings by everyone around them. They can do no wrong. They are celebrities.

People wonder why people like Winston, Manziel, etc are fucking ego driven turds that do stupid shit like this constantly. It's because from the time they are in junior high they are told they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They do what they want when they want with no repercussions. ESPN runs stories on Manziel checking into rehab and questions how such a talented person can continually keep fucking up, yet ESPN nationally televises fucking SIGNING DAY with high school seniors. Outlets like ESPN are a huge part of the problem.

i disagree..........its not entirely the media although a big part of it.

i think the dumbest ones put themselves out there for the media. they love the attention, good and bad.
and to think that Social Media is a higher level every year, does not help their cause.

the smart ones actually become something, avoid the media, dont get arrested or do things to draw that negative attention.
just keeping yourself out of a potentially bad scenarios is showing maturity.


"somebody" isnt teaching these kids anything.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying every student athlete stud is an ego maniac like these guys. There are plenty of level headed guys that can be worshipped all their lives and handed things on a silver platter but still do all things right and not do the stupid shit like Winston has.

Oh hey jaws says that Winston has major flaws and should not be taken number 1. But unverified "NFL coaches" said he has the iq of Peyton manning!

I didn't follow college football all that much this season but I would take someone else other than Winston ir Mariota at this point. I don't trust Winston and Mariota is a project. Surely there has to be some lock out there on the Ol or DL?

So we not bumping this thread with his leaked wonderlic score? For shame.

Winston scored a respectable 27 (Mariota got a 33). Has anybody said he couldn't pass a test? He talks like a special needs student but was accepted to Stanford out of HS so he isn't book dumb. The issue is more how he acts off of the field and a perceived lack of discipline.

His football IQ has been questioned in this thread a few times. A 27 puts him in that Peyton Manning (28) range.

I've been busy most of the weekend, but I did see the anti-Winston idiots on my Facebook feed saying that Mariota has shot past Winston on many draft boards. Unless "many" equals Ron Jaworski, am I missing something?

Winston is a near lock for the 1st overall pick
