Would Newton be in the right to refuse to play?

[PhillyB]

um, no. this is a brainless suggestion and exhibits a lack of perspective and league precedent by quarterbacks under adversity.

[TheRumGone]

its a growl thread what else is new

[FuFuLamePoo]

Yes but if he leaves for a better team I would completely support him.

[Growl]

um, no. this is a brainless suggestion and exhibits a lack of perspective and league precedent by quarterbacks under adversity.

I have no doubt that he wouldnt. My question was, would he be justified.

And i absolutely believe he would.

It's just a game.

[Mr. Scot]

Oh sure. Quitting on your team is a sign of a truly great leader.

[PhillyB]

no it wouldn't and if you have any doubt as to whether it's justifiable or not then you shouldn't be taken seriously

 

hopefully you're just mad and your judgement is off

[Growl]

Oh sure. Quitting on your team is a sign of a truly great leader.

His team quit on him far, far before now.

This is football. A game. Not combat.

A man would be justified in putting his long term health above that of some petty arbitrary definition of leadership for something that is ultimately meaningless. His health, his family, his wellbeing all matter more to him than appeasing mr scot's definition of leadership.

or maybe this is a byron bell/personnel management people spite thread.

[tiger7_88]

Amazingly enough, compared to Nate Chandler, Bell played a helluva game.  

[tiger7_88]

And, no, Cam would not be "justified" to refuse to play.

 

He's paid to play.

 

He WANTS to play.

[tiger7_88]

i would respect cam more if he left. its year 4 and he has darrin reaves behind him and byron bbell protecting his life.

 

pretty sure he had more talent at auburn

 

 

Better paid talent too.

 

BOO-YAH!!!!

 

(Yes, I'm an Auburn fan, I just figured I might as well get that joke out of the way.  )

They'd definitely quit on him if he pulled a stupid 'take my ball and go home' move like that.

Yes it's a game; one played by adults, not first graders.

[iamhubby1]

This just proves that fans are too fuging emotional. JUSTIFIIED? WTF?

My team lost, they should quit. That would teach the FO.

Stupid thread, by an overly emotionally goofy poster.

[iamhubby1]

Oh, and I bet the other 1200 players in the NFL would back him for quitting on his team.
