Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3084455, member: 2458"] professional football is an "all-in" mentality and the realization you don't have that (for maybe the first time in your life") can sneak up on you in a single day. The alternative was to spend the year on IR deciding and chewing up cap space, apparently? If the guy doesn’t have it physically or mentally anymore, then he doesn’t have it. If a guy loses his passion for the game and/or his physical prowess but stays on, he's a bum who steals a check and should retire. But if he decides to walk away when one or both those things goes, he's a quitter. [/QUOTE]
