Anyone catch the feature on him just now? "I must've broken too many mirrors when I was younger." He's said some other things that somewhat take responsibility for his actions, but he doesn't seem to get it. Regardless, I hope he gets his chance.

He did get picked up by the Dolphins today...he still is a complete jackass to me though.

Yes Marcus is a jackass. He is nothing like his older brother, who would never do anything wrong. It's too bad that Marcus did not follow Mike's great example.

I prefer to call him Ron.

Marcus has too much baggage to make it in the NFL. I think he will play in the AFL and do OK there.

I agree with Rickomatic. He's the next Lawrence Phillips. Amazing college talent. Huge potential. Too much baggage to be successful in the NFL.

The AFL, CFL or NFL Europe are more likely.

I don't. He's yet another example of a jerk who believes he has the right to play professional sports because he has the talent to do so.

It's a priviledge to play a professional sport, not a right.

My "hope" that he would get his chance was based solely on his talent as a football player. As a person he has a lot of growing up to do.

I understand what you're saying Tim. He is talented enough to play, but he refuses to accept responibility for his behavior. Throw in the huge amounts of money that is available for pro athletes and his behavior will only get worse.
