Many people have difficulty writing. It comes somewhat easy to me, as my Mom ruled with an iron fist! She made me read out loud to her, and checked all my writing. I hated it at the time, but she did me a great service. I can read and write and comprehend very goodly!🤣

As I get older, I do find that words don't come to me nearly as quickly as they used to, sometimes I can't find the word at all. That is VERY frustrating. To have an idea, and then not be able to verbalize it.
Do any of you have that problem as you age? (I hope I'm not alone on this)

I wish I agreed with you. If I did, I would be so much farther along in life than I am now. I'm glad you feel this way, though. I genuinely am. I hope to get there someday myself.

Maybe that helps me write well when I choose to? Thinking more about this as I read others saying it's not so easy to write, I recall many times in school where I was able to write an "essay" out of my ass on a moments notice.

I also like telling stories and trying to verbialize things in an information manner to others.


Okay, maybe writing isn't as easy as I (hours ago) previously thought. I just really believe after reading the amount of Players entries before that they are individually written. I have no doubt whatsoever that someone is coming to their aide for some spelling or grammar or flow. But upon reading them you can really tell you're getting a personal glance into their mind. I like that.

As someone that mostly technically writes for a living (emphasis on scientific technical writing only), it is very clear that most people do not write well. Not even close. Even college educated scientists, and especially engineers. It's shocking to me. Our educational system is failing to prepare students for a career in technical writing. A good writer will generally be able to find success almost anywhere, be it engineering, grants, legal, or anything else, really. Every business has to communicate effectively, and often in writing.

Public speaking is another area where most struggle to rise above average. Many are horrible.

To add to this post, usually those that write well are also successful in generating revenue for their organization, be it grants, government contracts, private sector projects, etc. There's always room for employees that generate revenue, and generating revenue usually involves writing, to some extent.

I'd be curious to get Adams' take on Rodgers' skills at the cornerback position:
