Define known. I like to think myself as fairly knowledgable about FBS ball. Never heard of the guy. And I'm a baseball fanatic and never heard of him getting drafted by the Rangers. So what you're saying is, either the girl was a crazy sports aficionado or she meticulously planned this? Please....She'd have to dumb then to start the allegations now if A. She wanted money or B. Wanted to ruin his career.
And the reason it smells even worse is because Winston can't help but make headlines for being an idiot and brushing up against either the law or school policy or common sense behavior.
Athos, I don't know where you live but at a school like Florida or Florida State, if you pull the #1 QB prospect, they're going to be well known at that college to anyone that likes football. I don't know if that girl was a football fan or not. But if she was, odds are that she had heard his name before.
That all said, I'm not accusing her of wanting money or to ruin his career. I just dismissed money as a motivation at the time in my previous point so there's no argument here on that. I said she might have been number chasing(trust me, I've seen plenty of that). Was she? I don't know.
I completely agree. As fans we flip flop on draft picks all the time.
Remember how awesome everyone said it was if we were in a position to take Clowney? Well, some bad things come out about him, and all of the sudden nobody wants him. Alshon? Oh no...he's too lazy.
Now we are going through the same thing with Winston. I love his game, and he'd have to have a bad year ON THE FIELD for him to not be worthy of a top pick in my eyes. If we get him midway through the first, all the better.
Agreed. And ironically, I defended both those guys too. Guess I'm just the Rams Forum Defense Attorney of Scorned Athletes haha.
