Re: Stevo threw the clawn under the bus

Wow. Threw him under the bus? Comparing him to Julius Peppers and saying he has explosiveness that no other player has. Saying that he led his HS team to state title and that his college team won 33 games in 3 years and that offenses always had 2-3 players with their eyes on blocking him. That is throwing him uner the bus. Saying that he will make a good pro, that is throwing him under the bus?
He did say he has room to get stronger and that his work ethic was ok, not like Lattimore's or Melvin Ingram's but ok. That he was going to be a great pro, that is throwing him uner the bus?
So when Dabo said Nuke wasn't ready for the NFL that was??? I tell you, that was much worse than anything Spurrier said about Clowney.

And no one's work ethic is better than Lattimores. At least none that have ever worn a Carolina jersey.

"He was OK," Spurrier said on NFL Network, the implication being that Clowney didn't exactly wear out the alarm clock or tax the hinges on the weight-room door. "It wasn’t like Marcus Lattimore, you know, every player is a little different. His work habits are pretty good, they’re not quite like Lattimore, a Stephon Gilmore, Melvin Ingram, some of those guys"

There may not be any Coots or formaCoots who have better work ethic than Lattimore , but all of them have better knees.

to get off the stuff you inhaling and to get off our site.
What Steve said in so many words that the clawn is great talent but a slacker and lacks motivation. To me and as an NFL scout, I'll have serious considerations to select him.

Pay no attention to the scratch fed Coot masters. They are trying to figure out how to cut the laptop on and talking confuses them.

I predict a "bust"
Feb 20, 2014, 10:59 AM

on the Ryan Leaf scale. He will not change his poor attitudes and lazy , predilection for slackness. This guy is going to get paid a ton up front , then get dominated by huge athletic o-linemen that back down from no one and he will fold and give up . His "injury bug " will surface first ...then the same lame ### excuses they fronted him with the entire season passed...he hurt -he toe sore-he gettin five-tupple-teamed , his car ain't fast enough to the Dead Roach... Mark it down , Jadav-a-Clown will be out of the league in 4 yrs and broke before 2020.

I'm not sure that's throwing the player under the bus. I know Spurrier isn't popular here (I like him a lot depsite him being our rival's coach), but no one can deny he isn't a candid guy. He answers questions honestly for the most part.
What he said is no different than what NFL people and media people have been saying all along. Extremely talented player, questionable work ethic. It's going to be interesting to see if he can push it to the next level mentally, but we'll see.
I could see him being an all-time great Defensive End if he gets his act together. But if he doesn't, I could see him being similar to Albert Haynesworth in the sense that he'll be a dominant, next-level player until he gets a giant paycheck and then decides to take it easy.

So do you think it is ok for the coach to point out his
Feb 20, 2014, 11:22 AM
|

weakness?
What you said I agree with you that he is a great talent and his motivation will take him as far as he wants to go. However, give me a break and a coach should not publicly be questioning his work ethics. It is like going to an interview for a job, would you say anything negative about yourself? So why his coach would even "HINT" about negativity with his star player?

I think it's fine in this situation because it's something already knew about and was questioning. He said he has OK work ethic...he wasn't saying anything that bad. He was asked to evaluate Clowney and he did that.
If he had come out and said "welp, Jadaveon likes to smoke pot and often skips team meetings", then I'd definitely raise an eyebrow and wonder if that's something the coach should be saying for his star player...but this is just repeating public info.

Probably will be a bust, but the important thing
Feb 20, 2014, 2:02 PM

in Spurrier's statement is that "when the ball is snapped he’s got something no one else has." When it comes to the draft (not whether or not he will actually pan out in the NFL) this is what's important. They draft on potential, thinking they can fix his work ethic. He has the potential to be as good as anyone if he works hard. Although I don't think that will happen.

someone for the better or worse in their job. He could go big finally doing what he likes, is good at, and get paid for. He could slack off if his work habits don't improve and cruise.
The other side is he finds it a lot harder in the pros as most rookies do. The linemen aren't 21/22 years old now, they're much bigger and stronger. He may get frustrated and not find it as fun. Or he could take it as a challenge and improve a lot since he sees he can't just use raw talent alone.
Or he finds he has lot of help on his line and he's almost never double teamed, and blows by everyone.
What Spurrier said was all true, it's just strange the coach didn't try to help his star player somewhat. Coaches usually want their athletes to succeed, as it's a reflection on their coaching. SOS couldn't pump up Clowney's work ethic...why? Spoiled from Lattimore and co.? Didn't care since he produced enough during games? Only he knows
