I don’t think your franchise QB looking to cash a big paycheck responding to respectful criticism with a homophobic insult is a very good look. 

How is 'eat a dick' a homophobic insult? Pretty big reach, but clever framing by certain parties wanting to drive his value down.

I don't know that the framing of it as this or that really matters that much.

That he chose to respond to a random no-name fan in such an angry manner for all the world to see is the really stupid part.

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.

Lamar is looking for a fully guaranteed contract like Watson got. If it's truly fully guaranteed there's not a lot more to it than total $ and years on the deal. Others have negotiated their own contracts in the past. I completely agree he should have some help from contract lawyer(s) and/or an agent but I also kinda get not wanting to give the agent their 5% or whatever the going rate is.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
