Denver was after him as well. Seems like a lot to pay a rotational guy but the Niners have money to spend.

he didn't but was recruited.

Anybody good is recruited at good schools. Some schools check academic credentials and character closely and some really don't care. Stanford would have had Winston change the image he presents. Winston did manage to score over 50% on the Wonderlic. A person can be intelligent but still make idiotic decisions. Winston isn't the type of person you present to children as an example at this point.

We had Stanford coach David Shaw on The Audible a few weeks back, and he spoke a little about Winston, his intelligence and how close he was to coming to Stanford. Ultimately, it wasn’t intelligence or ability that kept Winston from joining the Cardinal. It was simply proximity to his home in Alabama, which made FSU a better fit.

It’s understandable why people underestimate Winston’s intellect. He talks with a casual, country slang and has repeatedly made decisions — stealing from a grocery store, screaming an obscene and offensive joke in the FSU student union, on and on — that would make you think he’s an idiot. All of this leads to a 27 on the Wonderlic being a shock.

"They don’t know [how smart Winston is]," Shaw said on The Audible. "But again, that’s on Jameis. What are you presenting to people? You’re presenting something and they’re making judgments on it, and you can’t blame them because that’s what you’ve shown them. It’s on every individual. If you’re presenting something you don’t believe is who you really are, that’s not other peoples’ fault. That’s your fault. You need to be constantly putting out what you truly believe about yourself."

Shaw is completely right on that point, of course, which is why he wouldn’t be surprised at the reactions to Winston’s Wonderlic score. The player has created this perception. But this is also true: Winston’s ability to consume information, calculate it on the field and perform does not bring questions. Only his off-field decision-making does. He is plenty smart and talented enough to be a great NFL QB.

There have been players who could be great OBs but not a great example of how to behave. Johnny Manziel scored 5 points higher on the Wonderlic than Winston and you wouldn't send him to a school either.
 
Mangold got released by the Jets. I was wondering about this and if it would happen, give him a call Licht.

It's not even a big deal

He was giving a speech and trying to motivate the boys in the class

The story should be about him going to a school and reaching out to young kids to motivate them to be successful in life

Instead, now that he said girls should be "quiet, gentle, more silent", he's a 1950s misogynist, you literally can't make this shit up.

I'd agree if it wasn't for his history

Probably but I don't have a problem bringing in a top tackle to help develop a couple of young QBs for a year or two.

With Okung gone they have around $50M in cap space and the only FA they need to worry about signing is Vance Walker, maybe Kayvon Webster. Neither will come close to breaking the bank. They have a lot of money to throw around in the offseason and I'd be surprised if most of that isn't spent on the oline.

I believe it's pronounced O'poon
 
Quite the start to his free agency.
 
Quarter pound smh. Fucking Nate newton had hundreds of pounds. Step your game up Elam.
 
Wearing about as thin as his back ligaments.
 
Ravens: Matt is not in our plans for 2017.

Rofl.
 
Misunderstanding, I'm sure.
 
Bears won't tag Jeffery again so I'm sure he will draw a hefty contract.
Also looks like Browns won't tag Pryor.
