		<description>Bradley, You really need to stop looking at yourself in the mirror and jumping on the New York media bandwagon all the time so they&#039;ll think you are one of the guys.....Plain and simple Stafford did not ever have an offensive line in front of him the whole time he was at Georgia that could give him the proper amount of time to be able showcase all his abilities. What do you know that NFL scouts don&#039;t about NFL talent?....nothing. Sanchez...is a good QB ....but in the short number of games he played in college he was far from a super star....If he was so good he would have been starting a long time ago.....You show absolutely no class by taking pot shots at Stafford now as he is leaving Athens knowing you will never have to be in his presence again. You had plenty of opportunities to tell him what you thought of him while he was at Georgia. How come you didn&#039;t tell him to his face before ....what a coward! We readers have come to expect this kind of reporting from you ...that&#039;s why nobody will ever take you seriously!</description>

		<description>Given a veteran, healthy O-line, Stafford would have been a hero.  He had to throw quickly, it makes a big difference.</description>

		<description>Diffident: Heistant in acting or speaking through lack of self-confidence.

And the picture dictionary better illustrates the definition of  &#039;diffident&#039; with a sequence of Stafford photos showing some of his drives, hesitations, constant moments lack of self-confidence and bad throws: 

busted face v. Kentucky three years ago; 1 and done v. Bama two years ago; UF two years ago; Auburn two years ago; Hawaii two years ago; LSU this year; Kentucky this year; Tech this year; Michigan State this year.

We could have won three the Divisional, SEC and BCS championships if only our QB hadn&#039;t been so hesitant in acting and speaking, including all of those audibles he mumbled, if he had manned up and shown some self-confidence so his receivers wouldn&#039;t drop his passes, his pass blocking and run blocking techniques were better, his defense could tackle and wouldn&#039;t get a personal foul every other play. And most of all, if he is so good, where was his special teams play? How come he couldn&#039;t kick it into the end zone and why did he kick it out of bounds all the time? Each and every one of his teammates was not hesitant and all were brimming with self-confidence and played smart all the time, not just some of the time. 

Also why couldn&#039;t this Stafford guy look over the sidelines to get signals from coaches before each and every play like all the other non-diffident, or is it indiffident, QB&#039;s did? What a loser. We could have done so much better without him. So what if he&#039;s the number one pick. How come they don&#039;t know what we know?</description>

		<description>Tim Tebow is so much better at leading than Matt Stafford that the NFL gave Stafford $41.7mil guaranteed, and told Tebow to keep enjoying those alumni kickbacks, free meals and risking injury playing for THE CROCODILES another year.RIGHHHHHHT!?!?!?!!!</description>

		<description>&quot;and i dont get why ppl are always saying he wasnt a leader.&quot;

Because they can&#039;t come up with any legitimate reasons. So they grasp at the one nobody can prove either way. The only way you could ever possibly know if Stafford was a leader is if you were in the locker room and huddle with him. Since nobody who makes this idiotic assessment was, they&#039;re just grasping at straws.</description>

		<description>and i dont get why ppl are always saying he wasnt a leader. there are different ways to lead. he doesnt have to yell and get in everyones face to be a leader does he? look at it this way; no one talked about his leadership problems after we won the sugar bowl. if the defense didnt lose us 2 games this year and we won another bcs bowl game, would ppl talk about his lack of leadership skills? just curious.</description>
