I think there is a difference between being confident and being cocky. As an older American (53) I don't care for it in any area of life. There is a difference. I think the younger crowd does not see the difference in cocky and confidence and therefore they approve of it. They like the rub it in your face mentality. I recall when Miami started doing it in the 90's and it led to the taunting and celebration rules that we have now. But carry on JFF and I wish him the best luck at the Browns. I am a chiefs fan so it wont affect me either way if he is successful with the browns as the two teams paths wont cross often. Maybe once every two years or in the playoffs.

Taunting has been going on in football for 40 years. Professional athletics is one job where being cocky is allowed imo. To each his own.

Yes - I prefer a quiet confidence like a Peyton Manning over an attention whore like Manzeil. I too am an older American but I can't remember a time when I would have liked a guy's antics similar to Manzeil. Doesn't matter now, though. He plays pro and I don't pay much attention to NFL.

I remember Miami getting shut down in a particular Sugar bowl with the national title on the line
