Be honest, He's a good football player because he has honed his skills and a pretty good athlete. if he was really fighting the man he would have gone back to ASU and honored his commitment there.
He quit the school he committed to. He quit the mission he committed to.

Not enough data points to make a conclusion that he's a quitter and unloyal.

Is this now a discussion about how well the expectation/pressure works? It worked on me.

You have to get used to Waters. He created this great site primarily because the intellect level on CB couldn't seperate the intelligent things he says from all the bull shit.

Gee, what horse crap. Someone gets into a situation and finds out it isn't right for them but because some Ute fans will call him a quitter, he ought to stick around.

You sound like the same folks who cried over Olson leaving. So if some guy gets a job and finds out he can do better elsewhere, he should stick around so no one will call him a quitter.

Some of the stupidest rival smack I have ever heard. Proof is that Waters jumped on the bandwagon.

How is that any different than a kid seeing he is going to be bannished to being a back up.

You quit, I back you up in your decision. I quit, but went crawling back. I admire and respect you more for being a quitter.

The problem you're droning on about a kid who decided a mission wasn't for him speaks volumes about you.

You fit the title of Zoot perfectly.

One thread about what another poster said is droning on?

I disagree with GN assumption that because he Max Hall quit on his mission he is better qb.
