Made it quickly this morning. Inspired by my lazy good for squat co-workers.

Text is a little tough to read. Maybe give it a 1pt outline in black? Love the idea though.
 
Just a hunch but your lazy co-workers would probably do their job if said job was getting paid millions to throw a football.

At your job, our you lazy? You're not making millions. No reason to lazy.

That's like saying all Nasa does is look at the stars at night.

Let me expand on that.

Comparing a kid who gets 10s of millions to play a children's game to your average American worker is like comparing apples to oranges as their jobs/lives/motivations and glorification are nothing alike.

The real caption should be:

Joe busted his ass for an average salary, and came through to help the company and provide for his family with no tv interviews, no performance bonus, no hot chicks, cool cars, endorsement deals, super bowl ring etc & while getting the job done he might have been sick, his kids may have been sick, tired, his wife may have been on his ass, etc.

What's your excuse for not doing your job?

But the Stafford pic is a lot cooler than Joe welding a piece of sheet metal. I get it.

Let me expand:

Stafford's should say "I get all the money, pussy and fame because I'm in the top 1% in the world at what I do for a living and still do it when I have an injured shoulder"

"Joe busted his ass while sick, having sick kids, having a bitchy wife and getting paid peanuts because if he doesn't weld that sheet of metal there are thousands that can do his job as good if not better than him and he is easily replaced."

I agree with you on both counts. Except for the fact that Joe's motivation is fear of being replaced. There are average Joes who put in an honest days work for an honest days pay with no and no need for plaudits. An employer would be crazy to get rid of them in this day and age as they are few and far between. IMHO these are the men and women we should hold as our standard bearers.

Another example: A marine did his job while being hit by an IED. Stafford did his while being payed 10M with a hurt little shoulder. I guess that marine can be replaced though right? Is that your sole motivation for doing your job?
 
Bottom line is if you have pride the job gets done regardless how much you make.

I agree. Obviously as a Lions fan I can appreciate Stafford and what he has done for the team and that play in particular stands out. AND I was at the game going nuts. I like the pic/sig/idea.

I didn't think my off the cuff argument would turn into an existential debate. I just think holding up a guy who makes millions for doing something most people do for fun isn't exactly my idea of a motivational tool for the lazy and entitled who think they deserve more for less. There are plenty who do much, much more for much, much less but they don't grace the cover of SI. That was my point.
