Would Newton be in the right to refuse to play?

As long as Byron Bell continues to start?

Obviously he wouldn't, but it makes me wonder. We routinely hear every offseason off players riding off into the sunset in the midst of their prime because they have to think of their future. Our very own Jordan Gross did it this past year. It makes me wonder if a player would be in the right do such a thing given what Cam is facing this season. The front office failed him horribly, and I don't know that I have ever seen a player as outmatched by the opposition as Byron Bell is on a weekly basis.

Again, I don't think that he would-but I've reached a point where I feel sorry for him as a man and can't help but wonder if he'd be in the right to look out for his long term health. Byron Bell had no business being appointed the guy, and it was apparent to everyone but the front office who were enamored with Bell's get rowdy chants and aw shucks blue collar attitude-but those things don't win football games.

So my only question is, do you feel he'd be justified?

I had always thought the idea of him leaving was ridiculous.

But Im starting to believe its possible. Our team is more concerned with handing out freebies to good ole boys like Byron Bell than with going after what really matters- talent.

Its hard to believe the ultra competitve Cam wouldnt have a problem with that.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
