I'm very surprised by Gregory in all honesty. Leading up to the draft I figured he was just a big dummy. I've now completely turned around on that line of thinking. He speaks so eloquently and sounds like an intelligent young man. Yes, he made some dumb decisions, but he seems like a smart kid with a decision making problem.

It's for this reason that I really believe that Gregory doesn't have any major moral shortcomings and isn't a "bad" person at all, he was really self-medicating to get relief from his mental illness. I'm in no way condoning marijuana use as a tool for coping with bipolar disorder, but it's not like he's some unintelligent thug who doesn't care about his career. We don't know how much he is suffering inside that brain of his

I can certainly see why some would get the impression that he's just dumb and doesn't know when to stop smoking, but when you learn more about him and really consider his situation, you realize that this really isn't the case. I just hope that he's able to get the help he needs here in order to realize his potential. Because if Gregory's issues aren't properly addressed, it won't matter how talented he is if he can't cope with the real world without turning to drugs.

So while Gregory still has "issues", at least his are the kind that can be treated with therapy and such. You can't fix dirtbag and stupid.

I agree with you about Gregory, but I actually think that his issues might be more difficult to handle than they would have been if he was just stupid. Either way, though, he's worth the risk given his natural ability.
