I've never followed pro football really, but it's funny you say that because anytime I have ever seen him on TV, there's just something there that... I dunno... I've probably only seen him say something maybe a 1/2 dozen times over the years, but yeah, something about him has always rubbed me the wrong way. I seriously hope you don't take anything I post in Stoney's thread seriously. In all honesty, that's why I love to post in it so much... to shut him up and let him know he's far from being who he purports himself to be. Somebody's gotta do it.
Good traders make ONLY good trades. And what's that? They are trades which meet THEIR criteria for "favorable enough" probability of win and r/r... and trade with stops.
Bradshaw is a goofball and lots of folks find him annoying but dont diminish his skill as a QB.Those Steelers teams of the late 70's didn't win 2 Super Bowls with smoke and mirrors,they were absolutely loaded with All-Stars on both offense and defense. Bradshaw,Swan,Harris,Blieir,Blount,Green,Lambert,et al. As a Cowboys fan I hated the Steelers because they were so good.
I don't think attitude is correlated with trading success. I've known a*hole guys who were successful in trading. Pretentious guys bragging all the time about their wins and showing no respect for anything. I know nice guy who can't make any money out of it. Very humble guys who work very hard and try to learn from their mistakes. The same can apply to many different activity. Bottom line, it's not just about attitude and behavior, good or bad. Otherwise, trading would be easy.
QBs need be surrounded by talent. Last Broncos SB win had Manning (when he could still complete a pass) and 5 quality recievers.... defense couldn't cover them all at once. Brady and Patriots same in their dominant period.
Of course they do.Aikman couldn't have had success without Emmitt,Irvin,Moose Johnson,Larry Allen,Charles Haley,et al.
I believe excellent trading success can grow an awful attitude. When I use to manually trade, I was an complete asshole, screaming at screens, employees or brokers on floor to get me better prices or I wanted to take last nickel of newbies. After trading, no one ever saw me as aggressive, more of quiet egghead LOL.
