Well I could see if he was not having fun playing the game anymore like he said also he was saying there was some stuff going on with his family which I could see also being another reason for him having trouble playing the game, but it is good to see him sticking with the game.

That is not something you want to hear out of your franchise player and QB especially. If he can't even deal with the pressure of TC and being a playoff team's QB how is he supposed to handle the pressure to win the big game in the 4th quarter?

Yeah thats close to what I thought after reading that... Man who wants a QB that feels the pressure like that?

Well, he does a damn good job of disguising feeling the pressure. All those 4th Q comebacks. I dont care what you say. So long as you get the job done.

Did you mean to say "That is one funny kid"? Cause you butchered it.

Anyways, I don't see why this really all matters. He almost quit. He was depressed because he didn't like how it started out for him. You signed a 5-6 year contract to play in the NFL. You know what you were getting into when you decided you wanted to play football. Seems like someone just isn't getting enough attention with all the other great QBs in the AFC.

It would have sucked for the Titans if he would have retired, but hell, if that is going across his mind after a GREAT rookie season, wonder what'll happen when they finally realise "My God, he really doesn't have anyone to throw to."

For Madden people the best way to explain it is that he has a very low awareness.

I think he just realized that 6 on the Wonderlic wasn't going to open up many other job opportunities for him.
