One thing I'm hoping is that once Jimmy gets paid and signed to all these endorsement deals, is that his head don't get all swollen. I remember believing Kap was like the most humble person ever, but once he got that money and fame, he turned into some other person I'm still trying to figure out.
You never know what will happen but Jimmy has sat behind Tom Brady and even though he now doesn't have to follow Tom I think that "Brady's heir" in a way will stay with him. Is he just a guy looking to cash in then change his personality? I don't see it happening. I think he learned a great deal from Tom including how to keep a pretty level head despite all the talk. Honestly is there a bigger name in the NFL than Brady right now? Handsome QB, supermodel wife, most SB wins, tons of records...and yet he's still out there busting his ass and working hard at 40 years old.
I don't want to trash Kap but honestly I think partly because he was adopted and didn't really know his biological parents he always had a need to fit in and change based on different situations. I'm not just talking about the protest. He was one way in college, seemed pretty easy going as a rookie but soon as he was given the starting job he kind of took on a different persona similar to Harbaugh where he was very brief with the media. Then when he got his current gf he changed his personality for her as well(or at least due to her)
Can Jimmy meet some girl and get lazy? I guess but I don't see it happening and honestly it's a risk you HAVE to take. You can say this for any young QB getting a big deal.
And let's be real...looking the way Jimmy does it's not like he wasn't swimming in p***y if he wanted it more than football. A large contract won't give him that much more than he already has now...if anything it could let him concentrate on being a better QB and teammate when he doesn't have to worry about his family's finances.
