Geno not showing up for Day2

[Kenny]

Maybe the harsh critisms on Geno were true?
Didnt get picked in the first round, now he's not showing up. Look's like Cam Newton pouting when things arent going his way.

Regardless of what you think about the EJ pick, Im glad we didnt go Geno.

Yup you are right -- for some reason he looks just like Cam.

Re: Geno not showing up for Day2

Yeah. They kept showing him pouting last night. Not carrying hilself too well. That can't be helping his draft status.

Be a man, show up, and hold your head up high.

I can't imagine how tough it must be for him to sit there and watch as the only other QB there goes off the board and he's been (and still is imo) the #1 QB in this draft. Don't blame him one bit for heading on home.

How is going home to surround yourself with friends and family not being a man exactly?

So we can all be self-righteous jackasses and judge a kid whose literally watching millions slip away from him? How about we act like adults and understand the situation and how much this is probably hurting him? That would be acting like a man imo.

Nor do I. I question attending such a cheesy presentation in the first place.

You want to lead a football team?

Start today.

If this is the way the kid handles adversity, I'm glad the Bills passed on him.

He is their as a representative of the NFL as well so he should stick it out IMO.

He brought his teammate who wasn't even invited to the draft with him to NYC so he could be there for himself and Tavon Austin. You're characterizing Geno leaving as lacking leadership is horribly misplaced and completely wrong. Why you feel like a kid should have to suffer on National TV for your entertainment is just odd.

Re: Geno not showing up for Day2

I don't blame him for wanting to go home. That had to be really tough last night. Agree with Historian though. If this is how he handles adversity I'm glad we passed. No matter how tough it is show back up today with your head up and see it through.

Come on now... he's still going to make millions over his career. And I know he's only a young man, but I'd hope he'd realize that he's still going to get paid a lot money to play a game.

This has nothing to do with enjoying him suffer, but a deeper look at how he handles adversity. What happens when things arent going his way in a position that's arguably the toughest in any sport?

I thought Suzy Kolber was going to cry for him last night.
