Cmon man dont do me like that.Do I want him to be a bad parent? No,but it will be extremely hard to be both.You have to put the time in in the film room to be great,you cant just be a great athlete.We all know he needs it.
Heres an example
NFL playoffs -- Tom Brady through the eyes of his backups

This is the part that speaks volumes:
Back in those days, Brady was unmarried, with no kids or obligations. And he spent all of his time on football. Miller used to laugh at the fact that Brady didn't know much about politics or just about anything else going on in the world outside the football offices back then. He didn't have time. His impromptu quarterback meetings over breakfast on game days were like lightning rounds on quiz shows. He'd have his backups run him through a fire drill of questions and possible scenarios.

Anyone who's played behind Brady has inevitably watched more game film than he cares to mention. Some of them can't understand how Brady and Belichick could sit there, for three hours straight, never taking their eyes off the film.

That was when Brady was 26,unmarried and no kids.Griff has not been putting the time in the filmroom as it is,having a kid is not going to help that situation,thats all Im saying.We have to hope he can overcome it.

^^ Please remember that was back when IMO they where studying play call signals. More time had to put in if you're going to cheat.

FFS. The Patriots understand film prep. Wish we did. Butler intercepted Wilson last Super Bowl because he SAW IT BEFORE ON FILM.

A work/life balance is something everyone deals with, besides its not like these guys watch film 24/7. He'll manage.

Redskins mailbag, Part 1: Could RG III's daughter help his focus? - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

Keim: I think having a baby has, or should have, a positive impact on anyone's career. I know it did on mine. But I've never worried about Griffin's focus; he's a lot more focused than most -- not only in the NFL, but for his age period. Say what you want about him -- and I've certainly pointed out his struggles -- but he is a focused, hard-working, determined player. Ultimately, it gives him a chance to still be successful. If he has a good year, I would not look back and say his baby was somehow the reason. (But you know it will be a storyline should he play well). Maybe his new daughter gives him a different peace of mind or maybe it provides him more perspective; life is different when you go from the center of attention to having a child who now occupies that role. That's true for anyone. But I think he's capable of improving, with or without a newborn. As for social media, that's another bug of mine. When he was at his high point in terms of tweeting it was perhaps three a day. Not sure why the rest of the world can tweet or use social media but he can't. I've never understood it. Maybe people don't like what he says on there -- and I guess it reminds fans of his failures, but it in no way has impacted his performance. During the season? I'd recommend players staying off there because Twitter is not always a kind place for athletes in-season -- I know there are people who spread lies even about what I've written or said and express hatred for having a differing opinion, let alone the classless nonsense that is directed at players. But in the offseason? Have at it; live your life.

That Punditized bastard......Keim. WTF does he know
.....nice

[30gut]

And here I thought actually having a QB coach would help.

[SmootSmack]

Sigh...

[Meks]

I'm sure all sorts of great players and qbs have kids lol....
New Slogan;
The off-season: the struggle is real

[Hog1]

The keim article was a cool slant. He may well be right as having kids definitely changed me......for the better
One can only imagine how I was....before

Red that DJax , Trent and Jordan reed didn't show up @ otas... Voluntary, yes, but reed .... I'd like it if he'd be there, who knows hes prolly hurt. The other 2 I'm not that concerned with but I hope they have decent personal reason and aren't just being lazy

hearing from a co worker that Jordan Reed has a sore knee. Unbelievable. It starts again with this guy...

Really cant get my brain around never addressing the TE position

Paul stepped up nicely last year. I'm sure he'll get another chance. Too early to be fretting over injuries anyway.

It's voluntary, good enough reason for me
