It seem terribly ironic and contradictory that in one breath he says he's here because he loves his teammates and would do anything for them...but then shuns celebrating with them in the biggest moment of the franchise's history...and their biggest moment as professional football players.
Q has been a story waiting to happen all year, starting with the bashing he did on the organization way back at the first mini-camp and then again at the end of training camp...
He's has a roller coaster year...performing at a Pro Bowl level when healthy...but looking very vulnerable a few games after he returned from his awful injury...dropping some passes, incurring some holding penalties and fumbling the ball a few times.
To make matters worse for him professionally, the player he wants to be paid as much as, Larry Fitzgerald, has had an All-World season and a record setting playoff performance...and has been the marquis player on the offense down the stretch...and, get this, is playing tough the way Boldin does.
The team has won games without Boldin, going something like 6-1...which doesn't exactly place a higher premium on Q's impact, even though we all know how amazing Q's impact is when he's right.
Q is not right here...
He was right to want to be on the field, sure...
But he was wrong to throw names at his coach...especially at such a crucial time in the game...
And he was wrong to bolt away from the celebration like a spoiled, petulant child.
The not wanting to detract excuse is lame...
As are the do anything for his teammates contradictions...
In the past year Q has publicly bashed the organization, the front office, the head coach, etc.
And even after the Bidwills stayed with him and his fiancee in NY and flew them back on their plane...he has never publicly thanked them nor has he changed his tune one iota from the start of the year...
Now he has "no comment" about wanting to be in Arizona next year in the aftermath of the organization's greatest moment...
Well, Q is only concerned about his own moment and his own feelings...
And if he has any conscience he should diffuse this whole debacle by publicly apologizing to Haley and the team, and by practicing every day with the intention of atoning for this unfortunate situation by putting in a monster performance in the Super Bowl.
If there's no apology...and he takes the week off from practice...his credibility and his character come once again into question...which were things about Q we used to be able to count on without question.
