sarcasm.......
saying being arrogant will keep you from success in pro sports seems so ridiculous to even mention that. Some of the greatest players in pro sports were also as arrogant as any person you will ever meet.
I should of expanded more then.
A lot of sports players are arrogant, but Leaf IMO had that arrogance/stubbornness that he didn't need to adapt or listen to anyone. And, IMO the QB spot is the #1 hardest spot to play in the NFL.
Deion for example was arrogant, a showboater and admitted to not be a willing tackler for a business decision. But, outside of that he was a shutdown corner who played at a generational level. Became a mercenary, but I don't recall teammates hating him or him lashing out on guys. Any arrogance he had he backed it up with his play. Same with a guy like T.O. Ultimate diva, but when he played, he was an elite receiver who was worth any headaches most of his career.
San Diego quickly learned that Ryan wasn't good enough for any of his BS.
Leaf, lashed out at reporters and teammates. He had a great arm, but that was it. He wasn't willing to humble himself and take the lumps in becoming a successful QB in the NFL. Just having an arm won't cut it, unlike in HS or CFB.
That's why I don't think even going in round 2 or later would of saved him.
