I don’t blame him. He was wasted this year.

I guess Brock should have sat down and played Solitaire, which is the equivalent of what the
others were doing. Maybe that's what bothered him. I like the spirit. Those guys were acting
like they were between reps at practice. Not a sign of "kicking and screaming." No wonder
they had their butts handed to them. They had done nothing but sit on them, anyway . . .

He should have found an iPad and tried to figure out why he couldn’t move the football.

Right. Just like tennis and golf. Do it himself.

I know some of you like to pile onto one player. But I saw 10 clowns out there.

Everyone except C.J. Anderson. But at least the clown at QB had some fighting spirit . . .

Like it or not, there is more on a quarterback’s shoulders than anyone else’s on the field. Fumbling a football and then going to the sideline and trying to “pump up” the team, or whatever idiotic thing he was trying to do is just useless (especially when it’s a quarterback who is not established and hasn’t earned the right to do dumb things like that, i.e. Tom Brady). Get your ass to a coach and an iPad and try to figure something out. Let someone else do the rah-rah crap.

Anyone see the NFL films video from the Turning Point show with Garrapolo? Damn, that’s a quarterback.

Been there. Done that. Osweiler did the right thing, IMO. A big part of a QB's job description
is to lead. He leads how he leads. Ironically, Siemian was criticized for not being more emotional.
I have more criticism toward those zombies on the bench who looked more like they were
watching something on TV. At least, Brock was doing something . . .

Well, I wasn’t someone who complained about Siemian “showing emotion.” I don’t want a quarterback who is screaming at his offensive line after he fumbled. It’s tone deaf and dumb.

P.S. Screaming isn’t leadership. It’s just screaming.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree, I guess. I personally liked what I saw out of Brock.
It was like he was the only one who cared.

We will, because there is no tangible way to tell how much someone cares about something by screaming on the sideline in a 2-second TV clip.

I live in Tucson, almost walking distance from where the University of Arizona sits. PAC-12 football.
Brock played 2 hours up the road at ASU. I've seen him for years. Trust me, he cares . . .

I wasn’t questioning whether or not he cares.

Top has made up his mind on this issue. Once that happens he digs in his heels and will argue until there's no one left to argue to/at/with. It's part of his charm. Also kind of annoying.
