i think a lot of his has to with how much attention you're pulling onto yourself, and how much of that you're being perceived as taking away from the rest of the team, and moreso when you have a title where you should have some level of humility....... but then when sh*t hits the fan you're unwilling to take on criticism and take responsibility for your own actions.

rivalries aside, Wilson is a good example last year, he came out right after the game and basically said (paraphrasing) "i threw the ball, don't blame Carroll"

If Manziel did it, the response would be far, far worse!! So, good job that is not a likely scenario then?

I have to be honest, in a sport that is mainly black guys, I find it hard to believe that this is a race issue. Yeah, our receivers are black, our defensive backfield is black, our running backs are black, half of the Oline and most of the D line is black and we did once have a white linebacker. But damn, we have to have a white qb!

The race of the players is irrelevant. Did Rodgers every get called "boy" by Romanowski for doing his celebration? Where there articles written how Tom Brady is an embarrassment to his father for not marrying the father of his kid? Did Peyton get heat for walking off the field before the super bowl was over against the Saints? Despite the big egos of most star players, how many have had their own thread here?

Peyton was criticized for walking off the field. Just google it, there are still articles out there about it.

Where is the criticism for Cam not marrying his baby momma?

Who cares what Romanowski says? lol


And lots of threads have been started about palyers in here. Most notably Sherman's giant ego has been discussed quite a bit. Pretty sure 4-5 threads down there is one about Manziel

There were plenty of articles regarding Cam not marrying the mother of his child, just google it.
The talk on Maziel aren't about his ego, the are questions about his off the field actions and lack of on field success.
