Gawd and the NFL are sick of your pretentious religious bullshit and sick of your kid.

He definitely grew up in a unique situation and maybe he hasn't handled things as well as some people expect him to or as well as they think they would have. Since I am not in his shoes, and have never been in a similar situation, I have no idea how I might handle all that.

My 2 1/2 cents:

Cent 1: Although I have only seen him a few times around Boulder, he always seemed to be kind and generous person with his time. He would engage people coming up to him, taking time to really listen to them and talk to them, not brushing anyone off. I am sure as a college student others probably saw him acting very differently at times as well. Goes with the college student territory, I know I was no saint in college.

Cent 2: His skills on the field are pretty incredible. His accuracy, low interception rates etc.. all while playing behind a weak offensive line have been incredible. Also he never criticized that line even though every press conference the reporters were trying to get him to do just that. Personally I hope he gets on to a team where he is respected, he respects the others and does super well, proving the haters wrong.

1/2 Cent: ... hopefully he meets with your approval in the future.

I can't imagine being Neon Dion's son. Much less playing for daddy's team. Loving the spotlight is probably in his genes. Good luck. You'll need some despite/because of your talent.

we can list a long line of people in the nfl that did this,

vince young
dwayne haskins
ryan leaf
ki-jana carter
rae carreuth
willis mcgahee
jamarcus russell
johnny football
deshaun watson
jeff george

just the name a few.

since the Bills won't draft him and I'm a Bills fan, someone else can have the cancer the nfl coaches seem to think he will be.
