He has talent. He whipped our asses with ease, not like that’s saying much. But you could see he had a ton of talent back then. Just not NFL high level talent, imo. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, a huge percentage of prime college athletes aren’t NFL high talent.
He’s not dumb. I can tell you that. He’s creating and taking advantage of issues, using them to his benefit, especially once he realized he doesn’t have what it takes to make money in the NFL. I personally find it sickening, but he found loopholes and weaknesses and exploited them to his benefit (imo). People do what they gotta do to make money.
Untalented “artists” make money all the time based on shallow fads (look at that silly ATM boy band or whatever they’re called). Talentless.
Look at the friggin’ Kardashian’s, not a solitary working brain cell in the family, but they craft a meaningless niche that some people gobble up and they make tons. “Influencers” … let’s get real, they’re taking advantage of weak minds.
Not blaming them, like I said, people do what they gotta do to make a living. I just have zero respect for their abilities or supposed talent and I sure as shit ain’t taking life advice, medical advice, any advice, from brainless morons that I have zero respect for. Not that my respect for them adds up to a hill of beans, I’m a nobody.
As long as there is ignorance and weak mindedness, which there will always be, there’s a way for people to capitalize.
