I'd say it looks pretty "openly entitled" to respond to being drafted lower than you hoped like it's a death in the family, but that's me.

That's after the fact though even if true.

The truth is I don't agree with that statement for this reason. Most experts pretty much nail the general area where people are drafted ... especially the bigger names.  It was a huge deal Rodgers slid to 24th but a guy who was expected to be picked on day two is not allowed to be disappointed in falling to the 7th round? His agent, like all agents, had been speaking with GMs prior to the draft to gauge interest. That seems pretty extreme to me. There were people saying Sanders would slide before the draft but everyone blew them off as haters. he didn't have a n agent so no one had inside information that agents do. That doesn't mean he would slide like he did, but it does show he had red flags going into the draft that many were ignoring.

How did the Elections go? Did your candidates win?

While I am not a professional detective, I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night and I guessing that the anti-Trump candidate won,  and that Downunder Dolphan supported the anti-Trump candidate.

UPDATE

The Ravens have released Tucker in what they call a "football decision"

I'm not sure why you felt the need to add this into your argument. I get that it's a part of your job that you probably spend a fair amount of time doing, but it didn't help your argument at all, in fact it sounded ridiculous.
This is a little better and yet I can't help but think this is exactly what my 16 year old son was doing stocking shelves for Target. I have no doubt this is indeed hard work, but I never once asked my son if he was ok after coming home from a hard day at work.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what you do and I'm sure there's a good bit of anxiety associated with running your own business, but honestly these things above seem like the easiest things you do. My daughter works in retail too and never complains about these things it's always about trying to find and train good workers, working with customers who can be rude and entitled, etc. These are mentally taxing and I'll never belittle the work that retailers do and yet I still think that the lowest working class in our society are still some of the hardest working people I've ever met.

No offense to you, but I don't think you are giving others the credit they deserve. Poor does not equate with lazy. If you think it does you have some serious soul searching to do. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I own two liquor stores.   One in Orange City, FL and one in Deland, FL.   I'm constantly shuttling back and forth between each one trying to take care of business.   I never equated being poor to being lazy.   The issue between Spider and I is what constitutes "hard work"?   To me, it's putting everything you have into whatever you do, regardless of how physical or mentally demanding it is.

No one here probably cares but "the real pope" says he is the reason the pope was killed. Abdullah Hashem claims to be the successor of Jesus Christ, Simon Peter, Muhammed, Mahdi, and the true and only legitimate pope. Oh ... and he says he is NOT the antiChrist.

I'm not sure how anyone would see the difference in reactions from Sanders being drafted and Ewers being drafted and think Ewers is the one excited and motivated to come to the NFL and work.  Ewers has the demeanor of someone whose dog was just put down.

Obviously different people respond to news differently, but if we're judging on limited intel, I would see no reason to consider Ewers "more coachable."

Well .... one openly acts entitled so history says that person is likely a struggle to coach. I loved Deion Sanders (I'm also FSU and a Braves fan) so I'm all about personality but he is one of the best ever. His son hasn't ever accomplished anything but acts like he has his daddy's talent. He's not even close.  Reports of his interviews with teams like New York just confirm it. 

I haven't seen anything from Ewers to say he's uncoachable. In fact quite the opposite ...  I watched him on John Gruden's QB show and he took to being tested and coached pretty well.

It is part and parcel of the wealth-worshipping mindset, where those who have more money are more deserving because they are better people (harder working, etc).
