no it wasn't. i can honestly say i've never heard anyone call guys like watkins or dareus bad players. if anything, it was more their attitudes that got them shipped out.
let's not also forget that just because someone is on a team doing well, it's not necessarily because of them. i think the pats would still be in the superbowl if guys like hogan, gilmore, and gillislee weren't on the team. not saying they are bad players, but threads like this can be so over blown.
