I have watched him play a lot and read on some sites that he's percieved wrong, his teammates like him a lot and he works really hard. I'm also not sure where people are getting the idea that he's such a jerk? It's not like he's gotten punched in the face like Jimmy Clausen or been acting like Matt Leinart.
Another message board I post on has a member who works with the team - fancy name for waterboy probably.
This was his exact quote about Mallett
"He's a dick. Cockiest, arrogant, rudest SOB I've ever met. But once you get to know him, he's awesome. He's smart, confident, and a born leader."
Now I know it says "once you get to know him" but that's still a concern in my book because one of the knocks on him has been that he's reserved from his own teammates and media.
It could be nothing but like I said, it does remind me of Leaf.
