i know. we have a ton of zoners here who have ran into players and told us who they were and what they said.

But really, most players are smart enough not to badmouth their teams to fans. The power of the internet is strong.

This.

Totally this. The players are going to say what they want you to hear. I don't think they'll be talking their locker room business to random fans. Only players amongst themselves will really know how they feel.

I was surprised with how honest he was, but it just goes to show that sometimes you can get these players true feelings.

His new contacts and his new visor isn't gonna help him at all either.

Braylon was on the team in 2011 when Kap was drafted, so yes Alex was the starting qb but Kap was the backup. Im a Kap fan, I was actually a lot bigger Kap fan in 2014 when I talked to Braylon so I was a little bummed he said that. If you don't want to believe me, that's fine but I have no reason to make that up.
The point of that story was that yes athletes can be honest with fans at times, just depends on what mood they are in.

THe point of the story was Braylon saying Kap sucks and we can never win with him when Kap didn't sniff the field yet and didn't even play a game so how or why would Braylon even know or say something like that?

In all honesty, Kap did more in the NFL than Braylon did.....and that's looking at a QB without any extra weighting than a non QB (in this context, JJ Watt is better than most NFL QBs).

A decent WR, but look at those #s. It's not like he had Roddy White or Chad Johnson numbers....

Is he willing to stick his neck out for Mark Sanchez?

Thanks to Edwards, he found a way to get his a$$ kicked off a WR starved playoff bound football team? Ever ask him how that happened?

Practica

He said it in 2014 when I spoke to him. He's just like any of us who watches football and forms an opinion, except his opinion is based off of playing with him 1 year and watching him for 3 years. Like I said, I'm a big Kap fan and I still have a signed Kap jersey in my living room. I have no reason to make this up, whether you want to believe me or not.

My bro textd me last year that he saw Jonathan Martin shopping at Whole Foods pushing around a shopping cart with one hand and eating a pizza with the other. He said a lot of the Filipino workers were asking him who he was and he just gave them a confused look and brushed them off.
