    Theres that too. The on field stuff we all witnessed, no one needed the media to tell us he quit on plays. No one had to tell us about his tantrums on the sideline. His sulking. We all saw those things.

    I’m sure there is a point here but damn if I can figure it out

    But I do admire your enthusiasm :thumbs_up:

    Regarding Pickens my disdain is based on FACTS not media opinion

    I go to the games I watched his lack of effort and poor behavior he was detrimental to the team and needed to go

    FACT

    I hope this puts the foolishness to rest

    It doesn't matter if its a lie, not checking sources, etc. And other media echos it.

    You blindly trust. I do not.

    Let's not get off topic with your feelings. This subject is about the media.

    I'm kinda worried about this year...Ramsey and and DK have been both known to have their outbursts.

    You bring those two guys in and you let Minkah go...Maybe the team is better athletically, but is your locker room better?

    Ramsey's issues are not related on field. Off the field though are a seperate set of circumstances. From what I know from his Jacksonville days, Doug Marrone and David Caldwell were not big fans of Ramsey; more so the former as he wanted Ramsey to act and behave in, what Ramsey called a "certain way" via a Podcast with Ryan Clark. Whatever that means I haven't the foggiest. I do know that Ramsey did force himself out of Jacksonville for Tony Khan (son of Shahid) not only cosigned Doug Marrones concerns but also attempted to blackmail Ramsey via threatening to not pay him when his contract was up in Duval. When that story broke during the early stages of the 2019 Season, I knew the writing was on the wall.


    As for his time in LA, there wasn't too many issues sans his most notable one in his confrontation against Taylor Rapp in 2021 I believe. Rapp must have made a wrong call or did something wrong on a play. Ramsey didn't like it and attempted to sucker punch him. Beyond that dust up, not much else there.


    His time in Miami almost mirrors that of his time in Jacksonville; Vic Fangios short tenure there being a major highlight. He and Ramsey were on arguably worse terms than Ramsey and Marrone were if some of the reports about the conflicts between the two are to be believed. Fangio decided to leave and Mike McDaniel, someone who doesn't seem to possess leadership qualities as a Head Coach, allowed Ramsey and others to run wild. He and Tyreek Hill often shared headlines but McDaniels lack of leadership and structure are what did him in during his time in Miami.



    Mike Tomlin is a lot of things but lacking Charisma and Leadership are not either of them. He has dealt with malcontents before; one in AB who was much worse. In addition, players like Cameron Heyward, Darius Slay and Patrick Queen are on the Defense so perhaps Ramsey won't be nearly as loose regarding his antics as he was in Miami. Time will tell though.

    Quitting on plays is not passion. It’s a loser selfish me first mentality. Sad that needs to be explained to you.
