Best article on the Guice situation I’ve read

Great article. It sounds like a mountain of picky shite some of which were just flat out lies.

People are making a big deal over this because there have been these sudden questions on his character and behavior and also, do you really think there are seven running backs better than Guice? People are questioning his sexuality, calling his Mom a prostitute, saying he has sexual assault cases pending, fighting with Eagles personnel, etc.

All these rumors were BS and Mayock/Rapaport were feeding into them all night. It’s a weird situation and thus a big deal.

Out of all the muck that was his draft plunge, it basically sounds like his lack of maturity scared off most teams. They hand these kids big checks and we’re clearly concerned how he would handle himself.

Poor representation, which isn’t talked about relative to Guice other than his firing his prior agent, likely played a part in this as well.

At the end of the day, Guice has to own some of as well.

What maturity issues was described he plays video games which 90% of people do whether it’s on a phone or game console. You can’t label that as immature that’s today’s society and social media is the same way. 45 has 2 million tweets and he’s in charge of the United States

The media is akin to the National Inquirer today. Any rumor, real or false becomes fact in the mind of public opinion.

Definitely some shady shite going on, Mayfield (who I like) definitely had more character issues than Guice and that propelled him to #1 in the draft. I don't buy the BS story on Guice and if he did get into an altercation with Philly staff then it was probably warranted. Guice don't seem like the instigating type and never displayed that type behavior so if he got a bad rap for defending himself then so be it and good for him, I wouldn't let anyone push me around either no matter who they are.

I’m a Guice fan. Big time . But all this ignores the FACT that there have been very SPECIFIC unsubstantiated rumors about his behavior on campus floating around for over a year . I know this because people on campus shared them with me at the time and since then. Something may or may not have occurred but my guess is that the standard NFL investigations heard these same rumors . And it doesn’t matter if they are true or not, if somebody is just undermining him to harm him even, if it makes itself into team prospect reports, he was bound to sink in the draft . The NFL will run with a rumor because their first priority is to protect themselves. They aren’t going to necessarily track down the truth of a thing , they are just going to factor in the possibility that it Could be true when they draft.

Regardless, Guice gets to prove now that he’s a beast and if he lives right he can achieve every dream he ever had and we can pull for him and hope he succeeds.

They mentioned this last night in the draft and said it could cause issues for him and the team that drafts him....whatever that means.

See now that’s a bridge too far because that implies some kind of impending criminal charges. And there has been ZERO reports or legitimate speculation on that and he has continued to be at the center of the program. There has been no attempt by LSU to distance themselves from him. And that’s the first thing schools do when the behavior of a player embarrasses them.
