Brandon Marshall needs to take this guy under his wing. Sounds like similar psychological issues. He needs medication and stringent therapy

Someone else’s headache. May be addition by subtraction for us in terms of team morale and chemistry. Just a shame and waste, kid has all the physical talent in the world.

Maybe that is part of his problem. At high school he was all world. Next level he is finding others can play at the same level and has trouble handling it.

We have seen it before.

yes, mental illness is real and we should empathize with those people.

But for people that don't do all they can to get help, whether it's therapy and/or medication, especially with today's medical advancements, they lose my sympathy real fast. I admit I have no idea whether that's the case with Gilbert.

Full disclosure: I've got mental illness in my family, so I know what I'm talking about. Help is available - but people have to want to get it. When they don't, it's infuriating to the others around them.

And when some of these people eschew help and meds it’s not always their fault. Frequently it’s part of their illness.

Nobody really knows what the issue is. Lots of speculation, internet facts.

From a football perspective he doesn't play for LSU. Non-Football if he has mental issues I hope he gets them addressed.

Zach Evans comes to mind


As a recruit, but he’s stayed out of trouble and the doghouse at TCU, so far. Have to give him credit for making some progress after his clown show on the trail.
