What has Jefferson done to be so annoying?
Not signing yet?
It's not even OTAs yet...
What exactly has JJ done to be considered a diva?
Honestly asking?
To me he has just gone out and performed and bitched very little... lots of guys would have shut it down last year... he came back when management might have been smarter to shut him down.
Guy is young.
Guy wants to win.
Guy produces.
That's a guy I want.
(yeah, he is going to be super expensive... I'm ok with that on a rookie QB contract.... in 3 years nothing is working... yeah, trade him)
ymmv
The last page, the 30 before etc have quotes and opinions for why JJ is 'to be considered a diva'.
You'll just have to read for yourself than have it regurgitated.
Or wait until he opens his mouth next time.
That's just my opinion.
One quote that I've seen:
Jefferson posted lyrics from a Drake song on Instagram: "The money speakin' for itself, I call it fortune-tell."
That makes him a diva?
Lol, ok...
Sure, if you look hard enough maybe he’s commented on deforestation in the Amazon … you can use that to counter his ‘I deserve to be paid more than any other wr in history’ type quotes.
Unfortunately for me, I’ve been reading through a lot of his comments, not picking and choosing. Like some of us.
You specifically mentioned there was a quote on the previous page.
That's the quote on the previous page.
If you think contract impasse makes him a diva... that's cool, your entitled.
I haven't seen JJ
- throw teammates under the bus
- bitch/fight with coaches
- bitch about management
- complain about not getting enough balls
- take personal foul penalties during the game
- kick corp sponsers off the bus
- get arrested
- embarrass the franchise off the field
- quit on the team
I think there are lots of fans raw from Kurt stealing money from the franchise for 6 years.
If you don't want the franchise to pay him... that's fair.
But JJ has played his ass off for this team so far...
No where near diva yet, IMO.
(hell, I may eat my words if negotiations go south and JJ forces his way out... but I can only judge him by what he has done so far)
The quote you mentioned ties in perfectly with the rest of his 'break the bank' public comments.
You can deny that but it does. Although some of his other comments in the last few months have been much more obnoxious.
I get it. You have no problem with it.
You itemized a list of your qualifications for diva, as long as he stays clear of those things, pay him whatever, it doesn't matter.
That is a completely different angle than I am arguing. I haven't accused him of any of the things on your list.
IMO the self-importance and the market value that he talks about ... goes way beyond his actual importance to the franchise. He's a WR not a QB.
That is only 50% of the burr under my chaps. It also bothers me that KAM seems hell bent on doing whatever it takes to sign him. I would put a limit on that.
To each their own.
