If he can't work with Daboll or QB coach Culley and there aren't any WR there for another week, he might be better off somewhere else, working with Jordan Palmer and some of our WR independently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalScotts Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 he's had to work hard even to get a look coming out of high school, going the JUCO route. Even after that not a lot of interest from college coaches who can't evaluate talent, much like Carsen Wentz. Working is just part of his personality- often thought of as not important by some. McDermott and Beane value it of course there has to be potential with it but so many qb's don't make it and in my opinion its lack of hard work, although some think they are working hard.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but EJ Manuel is, by all accounts, a very hard worker. "Making it" as an NFL QB is combination of many things -- talent, intelligence, mental fortitude, work ethic. Come up short in any one of those areas and you have a tough time.
