Trump owned the NJ Generals of the USFL. He wanted to buy the Bills, but the league that tolerated guys like Kraft and Snyder decided Grifter Don was too embarrassing.  

At least Trump would be smart enough to hire a competent GM to run his team.

Well I'm not an entitled asshoIe about it, which it sounds like he may be, but, yeah, I'm asking questions about the company and what it's plans are for future growth. What criteria are they judging my success on in 30, 60 or 90 days. What are my prospects for advancement within the company...

I want to know what my long term possibilities with the company are before I agree to take myself off the market for the next few years. 

And I'm not making a smidgen of the money he stands to make.

Wasn't Eli the one who said he wouldn't go to a team if they drafted him? So Archie worked out another deal? 

I could be misremembering that.

Fair enough. 

But asking what the company has in mind for you, if you're not an asshoIe about it, isn't necessarily a bad thing. 

I'm sure 99.9% of prospective rookies are just happy to get the nod and somebody who seems less than 100% appreciative of just getting a chance at the bigs would rub a lot of execs the wrong way. I'm not saying that is wrong. 

I'm just saying asking questions in an interview should be expected from somebody who knows (or thinks he does) what he's worth. 

Now if he came off as a total doosh and a potential problem, fock him.

Hopefully he's learned that lesson. If he's as talented as he thinks he is, he'll get a shot at competing for the starting job and possibly make up that money on the back end. 

If not, he'll prolly crash and burn.

You don't ever make up lost money in sports.  He's going to get a 5th round contract.  That time at that lower salary is lost money.  He can still make a lot of money if he's good but it will be a lot of money minus the difference between a 5th round and 1st round first contract.

I still can't blame a guy for trying to get what he thinks he's worth. Whether the  organization thinks he is or not. 

Deion should've councilled him better. Or maybe Deion knew he needed to be taken down a peg or 5.

True

And if he has a career ending injury early on, he'll never get a shot at a big contract. 

[nobody 2,673]

What's lost in all this is that I don't think he was ever considered a lock first round talent by execs.  He might have gone in the second based on talent.  The reason people thought he was a top 5 talent is because Deion told the media that, and then the media told the public that because they don't know shìt anyway.  And as typical, the masses are told something by the media and immediately adopt it as a core belief.

And that's the real difference between Eli and Shedeur.  Eli was considered an elite prospect, so teams were willing to deal with his demands.  You don't get that leeway when you rate to be a career backup.

I get what you're saying and don't disagree with it in normal life.  But sports is different.  You only have so much time to earn as much money as you can and you don't know how your skills are going to translate to the pros.  If I had the opportunity to play a pro sport I would absolutely do my best to get as much money up front as possible in case it didn't pan out.  Then if I wasn't happy with my situation I would find a way to get out of it.  There are plenty of ways to do that.  But if Shedeur turns out to be a bust he's going to make a couple million bucks and be out of the league in 3 years.  And Ryan leaf will be laughing at him.  Shedeur's brother could end up earning more money than him.  And I say all this as a guy who lives in Colorado and watched all of his games and enjoyed them and hopes he succeeds.

My original post on this topic was in response to HT's post quoted here. 

If Shedeur was asking "will I start?"

"Will I get a chance to compete for the starting job?"

"If not this season, then when?" 

 

Are those questions really out of bounds? I don't think so. 

Granted, he's not declaring what college he's going to attend and doesn't have a say in the matter but I still think they're legitimate questions. And, frankly, if I'm drafting a QB, I want him to have that kind of competitiveness. I'd rather he want to start than ride the bench. 

Now if he was just being a total doosh and demanding a signing bonus or something like that then he got what he deserved. 

But HT's post seemed to imply that asking questions shouldn't be tolerated at all.

Shedeur wasn't asking  those questions.  Multiple reports have him tanking interviews on purpose and coming off as entitled to the point that some owners directed their teams to remove him from their draft boards:

The narrative is so dumb

A black guy comes off as entitled and a kind of an ãsshole and says he doesn't care what people think and he's just going to be him.  That's great that you want to be your authentic self, but if your authentic self is an ahole, here's a thought.  Prepare for people to not like you.  

Then all the race grifters come out of the wood work and say if you don't like him your racist.  Like nah, people don't like him because he's a dōuchebag.  

And when the hell did it become racist to not like a singular person who has a polarizing personalty?

This is exactly what I mean when I say wokies are racist and don't understand how not to be racist.  Not liking a single black person who acts like an àss is not racist, but the wokies go along for fear they might get outed.

News flash:  We are allowed to not like individual people of any race.

I bet all the “racists” in this thread had no problem with Ward going #1. Or Williams and Daniels going 1 and 2 last year. 
As a Washington fan, there’s no other QB I’d rather have, but bc I think Sanders is a douche and his actions had consequences, I don’t like blacks?
