Jim Mora Tells His QB Josh Rosen To Stop Doing Dumb Stuff Like Wearing A "Fuck Trump" Hat Or Else He'll End Up Like Johnny Football
In my opinion, he [would have been] the best quarterback in the draft and he would have gone first. I know that is really a strong statement for a true freshman, but I’ve never — well, I shouldn’t say never because I’ve been around Peyton when he was that age — I can’t remember ever seeing anyone at his age with the arm talent, the intelligence, the decision-making, the drive, the passion and the ability that he has.
Unless he continues to work hard…unless he makes good decisions…unless he dedicates himself the way that guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning have then it’s a pipe dream.
And, I’ve asked him “Who do you want to be Johnny Manziel or Tom Brady? And, you need to make that decision right now and you need to start working in the direction that you want to work in. So, if you’re going to go out on Donald Trump’s golf course and wear a hat that says ‘F– Trump’, I said, ‘You’re heading towards Johnny Manziel.’
So, let’s head toward Peyton Manning. Let’s head towards Tom Brady. Let’s head towards Troy Aikman,” who spent an hour with him on Sunday, which was fantastic…talking to him about the responsibilities of being a quarterback.
…
Man, last thing in the world I ever want to see is big time college athletes getting their wings clipped. The funny social media stuff and off the field power moves are what turns a great player into a superstar, and more importantly, bloggable gold. If this were a few years ago I’d be dumping all over Jim Mora telling him to leave my boy Rosen alone.
But, we live in a Post-Manziel society, and you’d have to be flat out ignorant to not learn at least a little bit of a lesson there. Fly too close to the sun and you know what happens (Icarus, read a book). You end up strung out in a Coachella ball pit.

Sure, I’d say Rosen is pretty tame compared to the legend of Johnny Football. All we got is a Fuck Trump hat and a dorm room hot tub.
But it’s just a pure fact: Tom Brady never had a jacuzzi in his dorm room. Tom Brady never disparaged the name of Donald Trump. And now Tom Brady is the best quarterback of all time.
