    Shane Matthews. People (rivals) always used to say he sucked in the NFL, but dude collected a check for over a decade. Anyone who can do that does not suck.

    Nobody dreams of sitting on the sideline doing nothing, hopefully he gets a shot at being a starter, far far away from the Bucs, even if he flames out he'll still have a chance to be a backup, freaking Will Grier is still on an NFL roster.

    Until he got to Tampa Bay, started, and got treated like a tackling dummy 14 weekends a year.

    There can be. We read too many cautionary tales of former pro athletes that can't even make it one generation without losing it.

    He could go to the CFL like Warren Moon or Kerwin Bell, although it didn't work out very well for NC QB Chris Leak:

    this clip always cracks me up:

    Moon was able to pivot from the CFL to an NFL HOF career!

    Losing generational wealth is a different story. My cousin married a nfl player that got a first rd contract and a big second contract. They have it all still.

    I hope Kyle gets a legit shot to start in the NFL. He is an extremely hard worker - he came from no one to getting Heisman votes at UF - and a few plays away from beating Bama in the SEC Title game.

    Elway... the azz who ran Tebow out of town... for not being Andrew Luck. But Tebow had the last laugh... he won too many games, and they actually got to the playoffs even after Elway got rids of Denver's top two receivers right before the season started. :D:)

    That kind of NFL team and game sabotage should have been reason enough to fine the Denver ownership and GM - Elway.
