It is tough to understand, how tough it is to cope with
reality in sports. Especially in football. In the NFL players like Philip
Rivers, Jay Cutler, Tom Brady and the amazing, multi talented, running and
throwing quarterback Cam Newton are always treated differently than offensive
linemen, why? Well the answer is simple, as an offensive lineman the leading
role is not thrust upon you. You expect every quarterback to be a leader, a
leader like Peyton Manning. But that isn't always the case, sometimes players
like Ryan Leaf surface. Players that don't understand the game, players that
don't fit in and players that are just too juvenile. This is unfortunate, for
in the 21st century you are expected to act a certain way. Reality is twisted, or
well, it is to them. This reality doesn't fit with their normal life, or what
they expected it to be. Every quarterback must be a leader, or else he doesn't
belong as the 1st stringer. That is how the NFL works today. Look at Mark Sanchez,
does he belong? Because when you look at him, well, he doesn't call the shots.
Their center does. We will see what happens, in the coming weeks. Will he
thrive, or will he stumble? The same can be asked, when speaking of Tim Tebow
and especially, Blaine Gabbert!
Thank you very much,
