For the many of you that may know of or perhaps never heard of the star studded quarterback Jameis Winston, he is a force to be reckoned with. Like many other great quarterbacks that have come through the college game of football, Jameis is different. For one, Jameis won the Heisman trophy in 2013. The winning of this trophy is not only a high accomplishment but in part, it sets his athletic abilities at a different level.
There is no doubt that Jameis is a gifted football player. No one can argue that fact. However, as one look throughout the history of Jameis's life, there are things that are bothersome and perhaps he is either unaware of them, or there is no one in his circle that is willing to challenge his actions. So, as you continue to read this article, think of it as an article in which you would like to share with our good friend Jameis Winston and hope that he is willing to read this.
Hello Jameis, my name is Christopher. I have been a fan of your talent for several years now, but lately, I'm rethinking the whole ideal of what it means to be a fan, especially a good fan. Although I'm a Georgia Bulldogs fan, I felt it necessary to share this important piece of information with you and others.
There are some things that are concerning me with your behavior. Perhaps some things that you could care less to know, or perhaps your humility has been denounced and you are willing to go at it on your own. I've seen so many other good players that followed this route and in the end, they come out the losers. Jameis, I want you to understand that you should never allow your actions to speak differently than what you say you heart truly is. I'm sure you would say, "I have a good heart" right? Well, many of us will say this, but the end results are found within the actions in which you display.
For example, you should never allow your talent to take you places in which your Character can not keep you. This is of the utmost importance. Why do I say this? The reason I say this is because your character is reflective on your school's organization. It is not about you Jameis. You are simply lending your talent and you musn't forget that your talent can be replaced at anytime. Having said that, this is your time to shine. If this is your time to shine, then you should allow this illumination to be with all humility and not ignorance.
When I read the article that brought about your 1 game suspension, I thought, really..., again Jameis? You see Jameis, the organization of football is larger than you could ever imagine. Even the financial contributors that pour in on an annual basis for both college and the NFL are larger than you could ever imagine. Why do I mention this? Well, because I would like for you to know that it's a team effort and one bad player can easily be replaced. When I think of the billions and I do mean billions of dollars in which financial donors give each year to sports, the question then becomes, ...do they really expect to see an outstanding football player act like a fool? Think about it Jameis. You have a talent that can easily become minimal with a "bad" hit or some unexplainable illness, why not use it to the best of your ability. If you decide not to act in good character, then its' ok. They will just replace you. You must remember, YOU NEED THEM, MORE THAN THEY NEED YOU. At this time, you are somewhat iconic in your own way, but this can easily be removed depending on your actions. You must understand this: When your talent is long gone, it will be your dignity and character that people will remember you by the most. You should never have the attitude of : "I don't care, or screw them" because the fans are the ones that have the ability to either accept you or deny you. In other words, it maybe your future and talent but negative characteristics can dissolve any and everything you may build during your college years in football or your NFL years to come. IF you don't believe me, think of the many great college players that have fallen by the waist side....Then ask yourself, why is it they failed?
