Essentially, these guys believe there is zero negative impacts when players of this ilk act as they do. The issue with these dorks is they believe in binary quantitative evidence. In other words, they look at yards and catches and that, and only that, is a measure of the value of a player. They can be self-destructive off the field, destroy the lockerroom, and undermine the coach but none of that will impact the team or their own play because.... numbers. I am continually fascinated by the WGR55 people when I get a chance to listen. They seems to always focus on data and numbers, incorrectly in most cases, yet fail miserably in understanding that in all professions, and hockey and football are not immune, back co-workers can often have a deleterious impact on the organization. For some reason, they believe sports are immune. As soon as someone comes up with an analytical measure that quantifies the impact of these losers on a team, then maybe they'll believe in it. Let's maybe add some context here. You can't tell me that in cases where someone has to make a tough block or play to support a catch and run by Brown that less effort might be put into it because he's not someone a millionaire is going to stick his neck out for. That would impact, for example, yards after a catch in this on instance. That is a direct impact on the game due to bad behavior and I bet my next paycheck on it that it happens. The reason is, guys say they work harder for guys they love, who are committed to the team. So the inverse is true. In the end, I railed against these kinds of players before and am a major supported of McD and Beane and the way they are shaping this team. Emotional maturity, team-first, football IQ, hard working, and smart. You can teach and coach up the emotionally intelligent and smart players, you can't with the Browns and Dareuses of the world... the perpetually late, inattentive, divas who put themselves above the team. So I will thoroughly enjoy his lackluster season (he gave up on a much better QB) as much as I'll enjoy watching the Cowboys suck. That is not even close to what they argue. What they argue is culture with out talent and strategy is not going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Is this guy really a piece of crap? I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because that Pittsburgh team seemed so toxic the past few seasons, but he’s REALLY starting to act more and more like a prima donna.

BuffAlone Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Sounds to me like he should''ve had a better helmet years ago. He lives in his own swelled head. Glad we didn't land that clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will likely burn all the money, hold out and when the Raiders try to get the money back he will say he is broke with debiters getting first claim on any money.

blacklabel Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Dude literally wants to do whatever he wants and basically have the team thank him for it. I'm pretty sure he'd love to skip every practice and meeting and just show up for games on Sundays. Complaining about the helmet is real amateur hour stuff. He has to know he comes off looking like a jackass, but whatever, in his mind he can do anything he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
