I dont think he is a phony at all. I wouldnt say he acted like a boy scout. He is certainly not a thug. He is who he is. He is a kid still, and comes from a good family. He is sewing his wild oats. If every person who reads the bible and gets a divorce is a phony than he is one in 100 million.
Its funny the whole RG-3 thing. I never once questioned his character or anything in his personal life. I have questioned his qb play since 2013 openly on the WP several times. I still do. I think that IF he finishes the season as the Browns starter he will be one of the worst qb's in the league. I have never questioned his person though. He is a damn kid with millions of dollars who got divorced. He was put into a situation with a qb starved team and proclaimed the savior. Man - not an easy thing to handle in the way of interviews/ pressers/ tweets etc - in this day and age and in that city - wow. He doesn't really get in trouble. I dont think he is a diva. He isnt a jack ass like TO. He seems to me to be a pretty good person, with a straight head on his shoulders. Unfortunately he just couldn't cut it as an NFL QB.
Probably could be a world class track star or something if he had gone that route.

I just think Theismann was always respected by his teammates. Some may not have liked him but he was well respected. RG3 was not. JT would have never thrown a teammate under the bus like RG3 did. But JT sort of played the family man, he'd be on WAVA with Don and Mike talking milk and cookies with his kids, then be hitting his side piece. His wife Sherri actually got the cover of Washingtonian talking about how JT lost his priorities.

JT wasnt exactly as young as Griff when he said the wrong thing. Also wasn't nearly the live audience during JT's pressers as Griff had. Ive met and spoken to family members of JT. JT is one of my idols but Ill say this. JT aint half the man Griff is if we are going to go down the road of morals and character.

I don't know bout Alfmo, but it's tough to make the case of not needing him right now.

Just saw the highlights. That was the best I've seen Morris run since his rookie year. He just looked much quicker and was hitting the hole faster.

I wonder how some of us would have acted when we were in our 20's with millions of dollars and fame. I know it would not have been pretty if it was me. I'd be constantly in the news....lol

If they were smart, they stay single and pound everything in sight. Pull a Derek Jeter.

One of my friends said the EXACT same thing yesterday!

I want RG3 to do well in Cleveland. He was a young guy that just didn't have a lot of adversity (sports wise) until he got here. He basically made Baylor cool, so he was an idol there. The key to being a good QB or at least a well liked one is to take the blame and deflect the credit. That's leadership at the QB position. He just needs to remember that before every question he answers. AND drop all the stupid slogans and quotes, no one likes when you say pressure makes diamonds, that's so cheesy and comes off as sooo un-authentic.

Other note - its only pre season, but the Bills destroying the Fightin' Mara's was awesome.

All you need to do is look at the leading wr's, rb's or anything to see how off base and meaningless preseason stats are. Offenses and defenses both not fielding their starters entirely. The starters they are fielding are in no way giving it 100%. The plays being called on both sides are for a teams own internal purposes and have nothing to do with winning a game.

Preseason stats are completely meaningless.
