Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 841302, member: 2585"] This is a ridiculous statement. You're too black and white. I'm not saying the intangibles are all that matters; obviously talent and skill is what makes you money in the NFL. But you can't write off all of this stuff that surrounds the player as immaterial. His work ethic matters. His drive to play the game matters. How his play on the field affects his teammates matter. How his behavior off the field is, matters. That's not Rudy - that's real life. Anybody who hires anybody looks at these things. Maybe he'd have been better off sitting out the year under a cloud of scrutiny? Maybe? Or what would have happened had he played 100%, became a leader and led the team to a couple of more wins? More $. Oh ... I go to work to do what I love and happened to get paid for it. [/QUOTE]
