sounds like martin is a gigantic pussy

 

And that's the reaction I expect most folks to have.

 

A professional offensive lineman with 'emotional problems'?

 

The trenches are a nasty place, not for the faint of heart.

 

I'm wondering though, how many would look at this and blame his teammates for being a--holes to him.

Martin leaves Dolphins to deal with emotional issues

 

Source: Teammates bullied Martin

 

This is as odd a story as I've seen in a long time.

 

So what's your read?

 

Not as odd as the Te'o story. Not even close.

 

But, as to what I think about it? I think it's a horrible situation. I'm not sure whether Martin has some emotional issues, the team has gone beyond the boundaries of hazing (into bullying), or both. Either way, the Dolphins have not handled this situation well at all, starting with their coach and going on down.

 

I played organized sports at varying levels. I went to college. I know the types of things that are said when a few guys are together, much less 70+, but there is a limit. Everyone has boundaries. I think some of the players have pushed those boundaries, and it went too far. I think that the coaching staff needs to step in when enough is enough, along with the captains of the team.

 

Also, I'd really like to have Martin as a back-up... so...

I remember thinking "in the NFL" but apparently I didn't type it out :lol:

 

I'll give you that the Te'o story was weirder.

 

Whether or not I'd want Martin here is something I'd definitely have to think about.  Probably need more info as to what really happened.

If it's Incognito leading the charge, then your last question seems somewhat valid.

 

I'm also kind of interested if anything like this registered on any teams psychological profile of him during the draft process and also if it was a factor in his draft stock dropping from top 15 to 2nd round

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Icege · Posted

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
