This kind of comment doesn't scare you a little? Reminds me of "The Boz".

Get ready for the Cam-brigade to sweep in stating that it's just a tweet (or claiming you have to have arrogance in the NFL)...

That said, it's not much, but is brought to peoples attention simply because of what has proceeded this.

Again, it really isn't anything, but if I were him I wouldn't be touching any social media, interacting through anyone other than his agent (oh wait, it's his dad...) and only doing very controlled media interactions

Well you can't really say he isn't entertaining to watch, and he is an Icon now at Auburn..how is he wrong?

[Mother Grabber]

An icon? Yeesh.

Scare me? I love that quote. God forbid the Panthers draft someone with personality.

[Jangler]

He wants to be bigger than the team? yeah, that won't go over well with the Panther FO. just sayin'

Scare me? I love that quote. God forbid the Panthers draft someone with personality.

How predictable.

Personally I don't care, but in this day in age, you ought to have the smarts to realize that you have to watch what you say. It doesn't matter what it is, you have to all times watch what you say and how you say it. He'll take his poo storm like a man...as he should. Still alot of time left to go.

I love how people always cry about how ESPN never pays us any attention, but then they always want to stay away from bringing anybody into the organization that would bring us the slightest bit of attention.

[Lumps]

Well, I hope he knows he gets paid to play football first and foremost. Does the comment itself scare me? not really. Does it bring his maturity into question, without a doubt. He has a lot to learn. Personally I was ok with the icon part, but entertainer? That is just a side effect of being great at football, same with being an icon and I do hope we don't pick someone just for attention, he isn't an icon or entertainer in the NFL.

Regardless, there's absolutely no context for this quote. You haters have no shame.

[Dpantherman]

Attention doesn't win games

[Captain Obvious]

meh.. really the comment just speaks to his maturity.. not the comment itself but the timing of it. Keep a low profile through the combine. He is still one of the guys we can draft.

Attention doesn't win games

You're right. You know what does? Players with confidence in their ability.
