Except Brady, and that was more because it was incongruent with what we've seen from him... and Ben when he was raping people every other weekend.
So....you agree.

No one said Cam was a me-first guy. They were saying he let his emotions get the best of him and was acting childish in media interviews.

No one has ever said RGIII was a me-first guy. Ever. Not even now.

He's just playing like $3it...

I think his problem is 3 fold. I think he came back too soon from his knee injury, he's suffering from a sophomore slump and teams have defended the zone read better this year, and I think he isn't putting in the time this year.
Yes, because the 2013 Falcons deserve to be compared to the 2013 Chiefs.

RG3's problems are the following:

1. Came back too soon from the knee injury.
2. His offensive coordinator is a ****ing idiot that doesn't deserve the job he has.

His knee injury delayed him transitioning into a pro style offense after his first year.

No. Ben was a rapist. That has nothing to do with football. Brady is an all time great struggling for one of the first times ever in a long career. It's not the same.

Are you actually reading what is being written about him? Christ, being selfish is the main area of talk. He rushed back because he wanted to keep his job from the guy who is 'allegedly' better than him, he wants his bad plays not talked about, he blames everyone for everything, and he doesn't give credit to his team. That's pretty much all they've been talking about. Him being a self important 'all about me' asshole.

If it was just about him playing poorly, that would be different. It's not. The negative coverage is on a level rarely seen by any player, including the ones you listed.

RG3 is black? He looks more brownish to me. Not sure what the big deal is. Must be my TV.

Whitlock did.

“RGIII, talented, a good person, ego out of control,” Whitlock told Lavar and Dukes on 106.7 The Fan Thursday.
Google "RG3 ego." It has it's own twitter handle. And "ego" is just one version of saying he's "me-first."

Either way. I'm tired of hearing about RG3 period. He won't last taking hits, and the 'skins were idiots for trading a draft away for any one player.

I just enjoy watching Shanahan shit the bed. The reason behind it is immaterial.

When a black QB struggles it can't just be a young QB struggling. The media always assassinates their character. I'd call it a coincidence however when the criteria of a young, well hyped black QB struggles is met, the narrative is always the same. The difference is that in Carolina the head coach wasn't the one feeding the narrative to the media.
This. Thread stater is a known pos.

It's kind of funny that Kaepernick has mostly avoided this type of scrutiny although he's actually half black himself. I wonder if he looked more "black" would he experience something similar?

It's about maturity level. That's on and off the field.

Ben wasn't just accused of a sexual assault (and rumors of more than one) but his dumb ass was riding around on a motorcycle with no helmet, constantly having pics of him taken acting like a college drunk, and poor decision making.

When you win people forget about all that.

You didn't hear any of that before the draft or last year. There was a long line of media waiting to suck him off.

This must all be this year.

Which coincides with him sucking.

Which is my point...
