    I think the Doogs and media acting like the guy could walk on water while just glossing over his inaccuracy bugged me. It wasn't exactly Jake himself. I don't think he was cunning enough to play the PR game at 19-22 but if somehow he was actively touting himself, then he deserves some blame.

    Trust me, he wasn't the one touting himself.

    Jake is a good dude. He was also a pretty good college QB that had the misfortune of playing for coaches like Ty and Sark.

    He had no coach who knew what to do with him, how to use him or how to teach him. He did the best he could. Why hate on that kind of guy?

    Yeah this. I don't get it. Nobody is breaking any new ground here. Any debate about Locker as a player was over a long time ago. He had enough talent to get picked 8th in spite of being a pretty shitty QB. He had a predictably lackluster NFL career. He's not known for being particularly bright ("I can't see anything!"..."Jake, pull your helmet up it's covering your eyes").

    None of this shit is up for debate and it's all been beaten to death. Now he's done. Some want to compliment him because they're classy like that. Some don't give a fuck because they don't give a fuck (I'm in this category). I can understand either of those stances. I really can't understand the continuing need to bash him about things that were pretty well accepted long ago. He wasn't the savior. He's not a saint. He's not a genius. He's not a very good QB. Old news...
    Bashing him for being a pussy is what this bored does best.

    Yeah, that's true. It's something I agree wholeheartedly with too.
