[QUOTE="TheGridironGeek, post: 145264, member: 1898"] A story like this reminds me why I laugh when I hear "NFL (insert position) X is not a good player." Go to your local HS and watch an athletically superior kid light up the turf, nobody would point to him and say "he sucks." But the same player often struggles to make a D1 roster because the new level of size, speed and brains is such a giant leap. My personal Twilight Zone fantasy is a fat sportswriter saying "Josh Freeman sucks" in a bar, then having to play one-on-one vs. Josh Freeman in the parking lot while the customers watch. Followed by a Rod Serling monologue about what the word "suck" should mean. Society doesn't shame people in other professions for being great but not top-level great, like we don't laugh at distinguished inventors for not being Thomas Edison. Nice to see so many GT fans setting the Coliseum culture aside to hail a student-athlete who might never see the field. [/QUOTE]
