Micheal Sam had his first press conference since the announcement.
Rams took him on because the
Quote:
team's owners and coaching staff "[sees] good potential in people, and they're ready to win a championship."
He also said that while
Quote:
he has never been taunted on the field by other players because of his sexual orientation, he was ready to play tough if it did indeed happen.
Quote:
"When I do make it and when I put my pads on and somebody wants to say something to me, then you're going to see number 96 running down that field and making big plays with his team,"
he said.
Though Sam said he "can't really do anything about" the fact that Missouri workers could still be fired because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, he did talk about the story of a young boy tearfully coming out to his father after Sam was drafted. He said he felt honored by the story and said he is glad to help others feel comfortable with who they are. But he added,

Tebow was terrible. He couldn't throw, couldn't run, and was completely useless the first three quarters if the game. I think only 2 games did he complete half his passes. He got bailed out by his defense and playing in a weak division.
Whoa... hold on
His QB rating is 76 which though not great isn't terrible. He only fumbled 7 times in 35 games. In 2011 he started 11 games and went 7-4. The Jets never let him start a game. He completed 6 of the 8 passes when he was allowed to throw.
True his overall completion % is less than 50, but passing for 1729 yards, 12 TD's and only 6 interceptions, and rushing for 660, with 11 starts is not terrible. There are plenty of worse QBs playing

He isn't terrible. That's why even the Jaguars didn't even want him. He played in a weak division. Why do you think no one wants him?

Terrible? He took the donks to the playoffs. Yeah he couldn't do anyting but win. He is a football player........nowdays everybody wants the superstar. He just got it done. Then got run outta the league because he was a God lover. Sad.

The stats don't lie. He wasn't terrible.
I'd say it's more the media baggage he brings with him.
Look, nobody will tell you a college QB should be able to pilot a team in just 2 years. Very few are like Luck and Bradford. He basically had one season and got them into the playoffs, weak division or not, he beat the Steelers. All I'm saying is he could have been good, but was never given the chance to be.

It's okay to have the post game prayer circles, or openly praying when a man goes down... but they drew the line at the guy doing the kneel and pray and getting all the atheists and media heads in a froth.
I guess what I don't like is that he is already using the NFL as an agenda vehicle. During the draft he smears cake on his boyfriends face and breaks out into a disgusting make out session. This is militant behavior and just trying to rub everyone's nose in it. Expect more distractions as this guy chooses to put his sexuality ahead of the sport.

You can play or not. I don't care where anybody prays........go play football. You ran him out of dodge. I hope your happy.
