I do not accept as true with this particular article. Even so, I had searched in Yahoo and I’ve found out that you’re right and I was thinking in the wrong way. Continue publishing high quality content such as this.

This irritates me | Smart Football…

[...]Most of you know of Myron Rolle, the former FSU safety turned Rhodes Scholar who is now waiting to see where he will be drafted. As I’ve discussed previously, … Welcome to proof of the NFL adage: You want players to be smart, just not too smart…

I wonder if the Tampa Bay staffers ask any underclassmen who declare early for the NFL how they feel about deserting their teams.

====================================================================

You’ve made the most sensible statement anywhere on the internet regarding this issue; thank you so much. All blah, blah, blah about Wonderlicks and football IQs only irritate me further. Bottom line, point blank, you’d be a fool not to put this guy on your team. End of story. You have guys like Steve Young and Brad Culpepper who’ve gone to Law School, passed the BAR and opened their own practices while playing. John Elway owns everything that looks like a car dealership in Denver, and has for a long time. Myron Rolle wants to be a nuerosurgeon. Stop the presses. All of the afore mentioned pursuits required distractions outside of football (ever ran a multi-million dollar car dealership? good luck), but never such an issue with the pursuit itself. I think the problem is that most people in the NFL can’t even spell what Myron Rolle wants to be so they’re just scared.

[...] Brown of the website Smartfootball.com put it perfectly-NFL teams claim they want smart players with good character. Just not TOO smart. [...]

Pro sports – much like pro wrestling for years – is starting to look like he Mafia. The “business” is more important than anything – family, career, livelihood, health is second to all. Don’t forget Ben Roethlisberger being criticized by Hines Ward for sitting out with a concussion.

Reminds me a lot of John Cooper’s criticism of Robert Smith when he wanted to major pre-med instead of basket weaving.

Though I still don’t like the jab at PE teachers either, in the context of the article, it appears to me that the writer is trying to make a comparison between Rolle’s level of education and the level of education of his NFL interviewers.

Also….did anyone stop to think if Rolle is indeed committed to playing football? Perhaps it is a tremendously valid question. If Rolle applied for an internship at a hospital (or whatever) do you think they would ask him how committed he is to being a surgeon considering he’s out running around cones in Indianapolis? There would be hundreds of qualified aspiring young surgeons out there….most of whom are not toying with football…..and the same can be said for the players…most of them are not toying around with the idea of being a doctor. I think a strict line of questioning is valid here in any case.

To put it simply, the NFL is merely coldly looking out for their best interests. Rolle’s answer to Tampa’s question, or better yet the underlying tone of their question, was exactly what they wanted to hear. Outsiders may view that situation as cold but in reality that probably scored Rolle points with Tampa. The NFL is mostly an 8-8 league…a few QB’s make certain teams 12-4…..a couple bounces either way make you 10-6 or 6-10. 1 player can make a difference for these bounces and save your job, thus the very detailed, when not cold mentality when evaluating.

“M”, that whole middle section is an excerpt from a yahoo article (click on the link at the top). Chris wasn’t the one who made the reference about PE teachers, it was the author of that article. So don’t direct your anger at him
