Most athletes are dicks. Losing out on money and being passed over for other players is reason to be upset. He’s a competitor. Really dumb reason to sour on him.Jason wrote:Meh, Baker's a dick.

What do you mean "Losing out on money?" Yes, he lost out on money. The higher pick you are, the more money you make.Jason wrote:Losing out on money? He left Dallas with 8 figures more money in his bank account than he did when he walked in. Hell of a lot more than he was making in college, imo. More money than I'll see in like 20 lifetimes, tbh.
Poor Rosen.
He didn't lose anything, because he walked in with nothing. Be grateful you got drafted. All this tells me is he's not really in football for love of the game. You're guaranteed high-level coin when you're in the NFL. But he wants that smidgen more money when he's not even going to know what to do with the money he'd get if he got drafted 50 spots later. Red flag, for me. I am, however, eager to see how a rich Rosen plays as opposed to the college Rosen. I think he will fall short of expectations.Headhunter wrote:What do you mean "Losing out on money?" Yes, he lost out on money.

Poor Rosen.
The #10 pick last year Mahomes will make 16 million over 4 years. The #1 pick Garrett will make 30 million. So yeah, being passed over 9 times cost him half his potential earnings roughly.
Lmao, what a hilariously naive way to view things. He's smart enough to understand his value, as every person should.Jason wrote:He didn't lose anything, because he walked in with nothing.

No reason to whine. If you love the sport, you wouldn't give a shit what number you got drafted at.
College football and NFL football are entirely different things. The greatest quarterback in college history plays minor league baseball now.Headhunter wrote:Lmao, what a hilariously naive way to view things.

Be grateful, not greedy.
Would explain the greed.Tiggnutz wrote:Wasn't Rosen born wealthy?
Gotcha. So this is more of a class tension issue than anything. Explains why you mentioned his income relative to yours as if that mattered at all...Jason wrote:Would explain the greed.Tiggnutz wrote:Wasn't Rosen born wealthy?
Well off, not wealthy. How is that even relevant?Tiggnutz wrote:Wasn't Rosen born wealthy?
You're not going to the NFL. Your willingness to be undervalued and work for peanuts in a hypothetical scenario doesn't matter.Jason wrote:We don't know what he's worth yet. He's never taken an NFL snap his entire life, but he's still getting paid 8 figures.

He viewed himself as the best QB in the draft, as an alpha male competitor should. Maybe you want an "aw shucks" beta QB who is just happy to be there. I want someone who knows they're the best and expects to be valued as such.Jason wrote:Again, he left the NFL draft with 8 figures more than what he had when he walked in. He lost nothing.
$0 + $17 million = $17 million.
This $10 million dollar loss you speak of is unjustified and has no merit on anything.
Using 20/20 hindsight to make a point is stupid, so it would make no difference.Jason wrote:Will his whining be justified to you still if he performs like a Leaf or Russell?Headhunter wrote:You're not going to the NFL.
