When it comes to bad teammate or cancer.....guess T.O. performance in the SB for Philly, signing a waiver to play, and ballin'.....is simply going to be dismissed completely, discarded, dismissed, overlooked, or simply thrown away. On the other hand, a trip to Cabo by our "leadership" (and publicized by the media) gets excuses or downplay before a "big" game. C'mon Posters! Anybody else would be marveled about. Jack Youngblood got praised and commended.
As for McNabb......Shanahan replaced him mid-stream with Rex Grossman! due to locker room/playbook issues and made him the 3rd string QB. The Eagles traded him within the division.
As for JWitt......retired AFTER the draft.....comes back to wreck Jarwin's development with open and welcoming arms. No questions. Gruden didn't do that in Vegas to Waller (and I'm not comparing Jarwin to Waller or Waller to Witt). On the other hand, JJ parted ways with Dez (not disputing), but AFTER the market is dry. Hmmm!
As for the 'Boys.....playin' with emotion or being truthful will get you out of here. Might explain some of times we see the team come out flat in games, only to wake up too late or too far behind. (Maybe stale JGarrett/MM pre-game speeches, and no accountability). Not always performance based, it seems you have to be liked and a fan favorite, then you can "milk" a few more years on this team. When Dez got crucified against Detroit because Megatron was having a HOF game, that should have been Brandon Carr going to the staff about getting help with Megatron, instead of being left on an island, ALL game. Media and this board spun it on Dez about Megatron's performance instead of team failing to make adjustments and allowing the Lions to come back, upset them and take milk from a baby. That game showed me we were pretenders, not contenders. We've certainly seen some coaches leave us befuddled. We all know Zeke, Jaylon, and DLaw will be out of here soon, that's coming. And it will probably be a good thing for each of them.
My take.....we all got 'em. The beauty of the board.
