Hero of the Underground: Jason Peter


Recommended Posts

For you Huddlers that read (which is probably 3% of you), has anyone read Jason Peters (Panthers 1st round pick in 1998) memoir Hero of the Underground: My Journey Down To Heroin & Back

 

Though I have not yet finished, so far the book is very riveting, explicit, and somewhat depressing. An interesting peek into the personal demons of a professional athlete (similar to the Chris Herren story of the Boston Celtics.) Bummer that Jason never panned out for us, but so far I have an odd, new-found respect for the man.

 

*It's the offseason, I thought now would be a good time to bring this up out of curiosity.

The odds are so incredibly small that one will have the genetics, luck, environment, and ambition to play in the NFL that youll excuse me while I fugging laugh at anyone that blows that shot.

Read the book

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
