Jameis Winston's own lawyer.. "He's not ready to be a pro off the field."

[LinvilleGorge]

When I was fighting a defrauding an innkeeper case I told my lawyer to tell them I was so gone on drugs that I was actually retarded or insane.

Lawyers will say whatever they need to in order to keep your ass out of jail.

 

So... you basically told him to just tell the truth?

Well you know what they say honesty is the best policy.

The lawyer also said he thinks no college player is ready to be a pro off the field.

Panthers united, don't worry about what people say about your posts who cares? It's a discussion

[Goondal]

Please oh please let the Bucs pass on him

The lawyer also said he thinks no college player is ready to be a pro off the field. 

Then he's an idiot and not worth a listen on any subject.

[Chaos]

Jesus people, all he did was rape and/our asexual assault several women. Cut the guy some slack, it's not like he allegedly boosted a laptop or some other unthinkable act.

Yes another thread by PanthersUnited, I felt this was newsworthy and affects the Panthers quite a bit and just came across this now after I posted my other thread. so cut me some slack. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000484680/article/jameis-winston-needs-to-grow-up-off-the-field-his-attorney-says

A few days ago we heard another woman come out with rape allegations, now his very own lawyer is saying he isn't ready to basically be the off the field player to make it in the NFL . Keep in mind this is his OWN lawyer saying this, that's huge. This isn't Nolan Naworcki or Mel Kiper Jr. It's his own freakin lawyer lol.

This is huge for us because either A. It could possibly cause the Bucs to go elsewhere in the draft or B. They draft him anyway and he becomes Justin Blackmon 2.0 at the QB position. Either way, great news for us

 

First time I've ever pied PanthersUnited. Good thread sir.

He's a rapist. I'm glad the lawyer isn't biting his tongue.

You witnessed it fam? Do tell?

There's also this:

 

 

Citing a league source "familiar with the inner workings of the Buccaneers," Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports Bucs co-owner Darcie Glazer Kassewitz "has raised some internal questions" about the community relations impact of selecting Florida State QB Jameis Winston.

Bucs GM Jason Licht and coach Lovie Smith seem sold on Winston, but Robinson reports they "won't have the final say." Kassewitz is the daughter of late Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer. Robinson calls Kassewitz "one of the voices in the Bucs' front office whose opinion could influence the pick," and someone who will be examining Winston's off-field history, which is known to be a bit checkered. Bleacher Report's Jason Cole has since corroborated Robinson's story. Apr 9 - 9:41 PM

And now I take it back since this is just a sensationalist thread. Worthy of a thread I suppose, but that quote is taken extremely out of context.

[LawCat]

This mostly proves his lawyer is an idiot. How this comment helps Jameis Winston in any way is beyond me.

[Moorgan]

The lawyer also said he thinks no college player is ready to be a pro off the field.

This. He clarified later saying no one is ready and that's why they have Rookie training programs and the like. He simply used Winston as an example. It wasn't specifically directed at him.

I did fam.
