Derrick Brooks to Buccaneers: Draft Jameis and I'll mentor him.

[Primetime21]

He comes from a traditional pro style offense and is a classic drop back passer..

He needs to play

Nah he needs to come sit on this bench behind Romo

There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a mentor. I don't know why people think that only players who have had hardships and setbacks in life need one. A mentor is someone who has experience that can help guide and motivate someone. We all need mentors.

Yes, but the narrative is the issue.

White people and c00ns feel better about themselves when they tell the world (through the media) that a young Black male needs mentoring.

nah he should get as far away from Fl. as possible...seems like an agenda to bring him down in that state

Why?All his trouble was silly stuff at FSU.It's not like he's been running with the wrong crowd or friends from old neighborhood pulling him down.He'd be just fine in Tampa Bay.Seems more like everyone else in the country is trying to bring him down not Fla.

They live by the theory that as soon as a black athlete or black man gets money he is going to wild out, get lazy, rape white women and commit crimes. So a black athlete no matter what the upbringing needs a mentor.

Tampa shouldn't draft him because his accuser lives there.

:huhhuh: Florida state prosecutors got a hard on for him and will never forget the allegations from his blonde caucasion accuser

I completely agree with you and it's going to continue until someone that everyone respects calls them out on this.

I agree and have had mentors and have mentored folks. My beef is the narrative is that black athletes always need mentors. Where as the media almost never says white dudes need mentors unless they are well known fukk ups. That is what I am talking about.

This is the admission from Jameis' own dad. The boy wasn't raised by a strong man.

Winston’s father, Antonor Winston, tells USA Today his son is supposed to have more security around him to make sure he is safe and able to stay out of trouble.

“He’s supposed to have somebody around him 24/7,” Antonor Winston told USA Today. “He a Heisman Trophy winner so (he’s) definitely not supposed to be by (himself).”

That isn't showing strong leadership from one who is supposed to be the leader in his house. I'll be damn if I send my son or daughters out into the world and say they need adult supervisors. That's the portrait of a weak man saying this.

The fact that he needs a mentor would be a cause for concern for me off the jump.

Got a feeling this gonna be another first round of QB's who don't live up to their billing.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Brooks ain't even say it himself tho

amazing this short post got overlooked

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

We all need mentors

Absolute Truth

He's not a weak man by any stretch. I would like to have heard the interview in its entirety, and the off the record stuff that was talked about, before I try to judge a man's character based on one statement
