What did Willis do wrong

the real question is after all that Gerald has been through due to his own doing, why is he continuing to bleep up after he just had a redemption type season? stop blaming agents and handlers and others and start looking at the person who's in charge of his own life.

I’m not blaming the agent, yea I know that post sounded like it.... was (clumsily) making a point about experienced vs rookie agents.

Willis ultimately failed himself, and he’ll have to deal w the consequences.

thats true, but i just think willis was bleeped the moment his past was going to get investigated. he failed drug tests at miami, he messed up at UF multiple times, and then messed up post senior year

i think he def would've gotten picked if he even played the bowl game and did the rest the same. that would've been a great test to see if he dominated against a good WISC OL

I agree with that... We can bring that back to the agent too. Maybe Pete advised his client to skip the bowl and combine. Maybe Pete insisted he attend and play, but GW ignored him. Would a more experienced agent have forced his player to attend?

I’m not suggesting Pete gave bad advice. Or did anything wrong. But I am wondering if a more experienced agent would’ve allowed his client to go down the path GW did.

But at the end of the day, your initial point holds true.... Willis Fvcked himself.

People around here think you can **** around for three years, put in one good year, and all will be forgiven.

Redemption stories make everyone feel warm and fuzzy, and they make for good headlines, but no smart person is going to gamble their cold, hard cash on a redemption story.

It will be the same for N’Kosi Perry.

Once you have a reputation for not being dependable, that sticks with you. People might forgive and forget with their words....but never with their wallets.

It’s why nobody hires ex-cons and former drug addicts. Everyone will congratulate you and praise you for turning your life around, but nobody is going to risk money on you as long as you live.

Once you’ve been caught ******* up, you’re branded for life. That’s simply how the world works.
