...just saw this comment on a Facebook thread by a FB friend in the memorabilia business:
Flowers showed up for a signing plowing quarter pounders then asked me if I had a wet cloth because he got ketchup all over his shirt. You can't make this shit up. As soon as I saw that I knew he was going to be a major bust |
Yeah, I know, "cool story bro"....but just one more little anecdote to support the fact that he doesnt have what it takes, physically or mentally, to make it in the NFL.
Oh indeed.
I think it's interesting
Work ethic/desire are not his problem.
Such a loser. Will probably be locked up by 18.
The OP offered a silly anecdote but in the context of other information we've gathered, it furthers the narrative that Flowers is sloppy.

The 10K isn't as far off as you think, J.J. Watt has been known to eat upwards of 12K in a day, but you are 100% correct it shouldn't come from fast food and it jives with other patterns we've seen with Flowers.

There's a narrative that Flowers is sloppy?
I'd love more info on this please.

10k calories? That may be overstating it but for arguments sake, sure. With that, I'm willing to wager that the Giants training staff is not advising Ereck to get his daily value through quarter pounders and french fries.

I still have to believe that body composition is taken into account. Athletes such as JJ Watt, JPP, Jake Long, and even Brock Lesnar seem to carry 300lbs rather easily and in a more compact manner (I believe muscle is 3x denser than fat). Flowers may be an "aircraft carrier" but you have tackles like Joe Thomas that may be dwarfed in sheer size but make up for this in strength, athleticism, and technique. Even our very own Chad Wheeler is built in a more lean manner.
Again, the anecdote offer by the OP along with the fast food delivery that he cited (which may have been a troll fabrication) simply provide a bit more evidence to the mosaic that is implicating Flowers as someone who is a bit sloppy with managing his career. Whether it be these stories, or pushing reporters, or offering inaudible responses to questions rife with double-negatives....it doesn't reflect well.
In particular when the guy in question came into camp in the best shape he's been in while he's here.
Then again, fake news isn't exactly tricking smart people.
This guy eats 12,500 calories of terrible food a day btw:
