How damn stupid does someone have to be to text something like that any time, much less at times like this. Hope the Bills send him back to Warner Robins to sell cars, or something.

I'm surprised he was even drafted. He sucked.

Now, he had quite a few wins at Georgia because his team was stacked with 5 star recruits, especially on the OL that gave him all day to throw... but when his team lined up against another with comparable men in the trenches and secondary... he really sucked.

That aside, and in keeping with his "elite white people" bullshit, there was always something fishy to me about how he won the starting job over an obviously much more talented Justin Fields.

What gives?

and replace Fields when he was hurt or having problems (can’t remember the circumstances), but these players need to be vetted for stuff beyond just football. I suspect Kirby Smart is a bit of an “elite” good ole boy.

Fields was definitely a better quarterback.

"While it was poor, my heart is not"

It came out of your tiny brain onto the pages of Twitter. Those words are what is in your "heart".

You are just worried that you didn't get the reaction you thought you would and that there may be some well deserved consequences.

I hope he gets cut and does not get picked up again.

He's been a nice enough guy while in Athens, but this is a career ender.

Sorry dude. Them's the breaks. Bye.

If you think these things, probably not a good idea to drink and tweet.

It wasn't just an unfortunate choice of words. He's a racist and makes incendiary remarks and then talks about coming together?
