[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1070202, member: 17987"] I appreciate that he is really involved in mental health advocacy. His "Caleb Cares" foundation is big on anti-bullying and raising awareness/connecting youth to mental health resources. A lot of people clown on him for his painted nails but I thought the 988 (suicide/crisis hotline) on his nails was a nice gesture (he has done it before this week too). He has been doing stuff like that since high school too, so I respect that... the cynical part of me sometimes sees pros get involved in stuff like that *after* they're famous and it feels like they're just doing it for appearances or something. To do that *before* you're really well-known and keep it up makes it seem more sincere (to me, at least) I do think he is kind of cocky at times, and seems to generally be a bit "flashy." He is certainly more "fashion forward" than I would personally dress and I won't be painting my nails any time soon but I'm not bothered by much of that. At the end of the day I think he is just a talented kid (he is just 23 after all) who has a lot of fun playing football... who also happens to like posting on social media and being into fashion and whatnot but is also not just using his platform for himself. There was a lot of pre-draft chatter about "diva tendencies" or concerns about maturity and him being "too big for his britches" but in general I don't think there were any serious character concerns and since arriving in Chicago he's been a total class act for them...by all accounts he's a hard worker, he's a good leader, and he takes accountability for his own shortcomings. TBH, not wanting to make it into a big thing but I think most folks complaints with him stem from the fact that they don't jibe with his personality and think that he does things that aren't "traditionally masculine." He doesn't really fit the stereotypical image of "pro football player" that a lot of people have IMO But, like I said I have serious concerns about his ability to be a top NFL QB at this point...but from what I can tell from the outside he seems like a perfectly decent kid lol [/QUOTE]
