Quite honestly, whenever I watch him play it just seems that he isn’t really “trying that hard.” I know, and understand that disconnect in my own mind, so I chalked it up to him being so good that he just makes it look easy for a chump like me.
However, then I would see another play where he didn’t “tuck the ball.” (Seattle) Then I would think it again.
This rumor isn’t that surprising to me. He has all of the talent in the world, but it just seems like he doesn’t work very far beyond that talent. Which is rather sad...
Just imagine his performance if he worked like a Jerry Rice or Walter Payton...
The great ones make it look effortless.
