Hero of the Underground: Jason Peter


Recommended Posts

For you Huddlers that read (which is probably 3% of you), has anyone read Jason Peters (Panthers 1st round pick in 1998) memoir Hero of the Underground: My Journey Down To Heroin & Back

 

Though I have not yet finished, so far the book is very riveting, explicit, and somewhat depressing. An interesting peek into the personal demons of a professional athlete (similar to the Chris Herren story of the Boston Celtics.) Bummer that Jason never panned out for us, but so far I have an odd, new-found respect for the man.

 

*It's the offseason, I thought now would be a good time to bring this up out of curiosity.

The odds are so incredibly small that one will have the genetics, luck, environment, and ambition to play in the NFL that youll excuse me while I fugging laugh at anyone that blows that shot.

Read the book

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
