If you're a high profile athlete and want a social media presence, hire a PR form to manage it and don't even have access to the login info. Don't even look at it. Just let the PR firm do its job.

 

could say the same for politicians or really any high profile person. world would be a much better place without everyone shouting to the world every thought they have.

Between this and not getting proper representation for his contract negotiations, Jackson seems to make a lot of really head scratcher moves off the field.  

 

Yeah, you're talking about a 9 figure contract with lots of complicated clauses, structuring, guaranteed money, incentives, possible outs, etc. Thinking you can handle that unless that's what you actually do for a living with ample experience is just nuts. Surely he's going to have at least a contract attorney look over any deal he negotiated before he puts ink to paper.

Agreed. If I was any type of public figure I'd have a firm managing my social media. Hell, I have a small business and pay someone to handle it. I don't even look at it.

I'd assume there are agents that are treating him like Nick Saban's treats his recruits. Free poo to get him to sign on. I can imagine firms like IMG are just throwing him free advice and services to navigate this whole thing in hopes that Lamar would hire them. There is no way he is truly doing this alone.

Jackson has been a "good" qb in his years so far.  Not great like a lot of people want to think by his highlight plays.  If you just look at his statistics against good teams and in the playoffs; they are very bad.   He has been a qb that feasts on bad teams mostly at this point in his career so far.

The guy won an MVP. Now the playoffs thing? Yeah, you got a point there. He's had some real stinkers in the playoffs.

And don't respond to a random fan that nobody's ever heard of.

    • I mean, he's a professional athlete.  What you think as a fan vs what he should think as a player are completely different.  Being bad doesn't mean you should lack confidence in yourself, and really that is true in all forms of life.  Do everything you want to do with confidence. Justin Fields sucks, but does he ever play like someone who doesn't believe in his own abilities?   Obviously you need more than confidence to be a high-level NFL player, and Bryce will never be that.  But he could still create 2-3 extra plays a game if he allowed himself to play more "free" like he did in the second half of last season.  The fact he refuses to use his legs to pick up yards nowadays hurts this team.  Simple things like that would go a long way for us, even if not for him.
    • I've always thought it odd that the QB is the only guy in the roster who carries a record. If a RB puts up 1200 yards but the team sucks then everyone still says the RB had a good year. If a QB puts up good numbers put the D is atrocious and the win loss record isn't great due to that then the narrative is that the QB can't win. Now that we're finding a way to win with suddenly dominant D and dominate running game people are trying to shift to this "Bryce is just a winner" narrative while he puts up bottom of the league numbers while near the top of the league in turnovers. It's just funny to watch.
