How many of you thought that was even remotely possible on Draft Night?
I did. Never liked the pick. Thought his rise in draft stock was ridiculous.
That was before we all knew Bobby Massie would crap in his own bed this offseason, so it is even worse of a pick now, because it was done because Massie's irresponsibility.
Better yet, give me an example of an NFL head coach who has gone public with an embarrassing nickname for a 1st round draft pick?
He was not a 1st round pick but Bill Parcells called Terry Glenn, "her" in a press conference and it was all over the news.
There are no nicknames involved but Jay Gruden has lambasted RGIII in the press for a while.
Those are just off the top of my head.
This is a game for men, and DJ Humphries is acting like a child, IMO. His main problem right now is effort, which is inexcusable.
If Humphries lacks motivation because his coach said something about him in the press, he better man up, and quick. Because he is getting a hell of a lot more flack in the press about his play, and the fans will be worse than any head coach. Part of the job of being a multi-million dollar athlete. Deal with it, or go home.
There are 52 other players on the team that are looking for Humphries to help them out, and they are being let down by this player. Making matters worse, he is getting (to use modern day terms) 1st round player privilege where he is getting a roster spot and yet is not one of the best 53 players on the team right now.
Thank goodness Arians is staying his play is unacceptable, and saying things in the press, because the guy is going to cost the team two fold. One that he has yet to understand what he needs to do effort wise, and Two that he is using up a very important roster spot on this team.
Who cares about Humphries' feelings when he is obviously not caring too much about his effect on this team.
Plus, its football, I don't know why players or anyone thinks they should be treated with kid gloves. Respect is earned not given.
