Luka Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 He goes down this route and he'll fail. Keeping a list means he puts way too much thought into it. And it's easy to do in college where you're successful and everybody at school loves you, the list is probably short. Wait until he goes to a struggling NFL team and is expected to make magic happen and he doesn't the first year or maybe even the second year. Then what?

Bobby Hooks Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I love this. He obviously has a lot of confidence that he’s going to be good and be able to throw it in their faces. Who cares what drives him to be great. As long as he’s driven to be great. Man I hope we get this kid.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Yeah I don't like it. Sounds like a bullied emo teenager. Not a fan of this type of thought process and I find it very self-centred, woe is me type stuff. It really is putting yourself before the team, and if people can't see that, I'm not sure what to say. Then when he wins a game he will grab his crotch. The guy is trashy. Not a fan. Good player, but I really dislike the person. There are going to be haters everywhere. You just have to brush your shoulders off. Motivation needs to come from within. And yes I know Tom Brady blah blah, then you have Ryan Leaf too. Previous examples mean little.

How about instead of comparing him to a guy who is our team's mortal enemy and a guy who would have likely moved the Bills out of Buffalo the minute he craved attention in the form of headlines, we compare him to one of our own guys who used a chip on his shoulder to good effect. Thurman Thomas said that teams that passed on him on draft day would pay, and as we all know that meant every team -- and he made good on that promise.

Oh yeah, I don’t really give a sh*t either, it just makes me wonder where this kid’s head is at. By all accounts he’s an accomplished QB from a big time program almost assured to go in the first round. (As opposed to Brady who was a doughy backup with zero expectations.) And so he chooses to focus on the “haters” to get motivated? That’s kind of weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are shrewd enough to use that type of thing as an advantage, and some just get consumed by it. If they draft Mayfield, I hope they have a very long interview with him and are very secure in their analysis of his character. That issue will make or break him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 That motivation got him from being a walk-on at Texas Tech to being an almost-consensus top-10 pick in the draft. Whatever makes him tick, it's clearly working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Josh Allen sent e-mails to many college programs and never garnered any interest. Both he and Mayfield are the fellas with an edge and chip on their shoulders. Marry that to talent, and you can get good results. I like them both and think either would fit well with McD, though Allen will need more time to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
