HardCoreBlue Posted September 14 Report Posted September 14 14 hours ago, Mr. Perfect said: They've looked fantastic beating bad-mediocre teams. Two against Calgary One against Saskatchewan, Hamilton and BC. Thing is it seems everyone (except Montreal but they’re in a world of hurt right now) is mediocre these days so hard to gauge anything, crapshoot at best on who is the front leader.

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 14 Report Posted September 14 The Lions could lose both of their qbs this off season. Adams is gone & that's a given but I don't think Rourke feels his NFL opportunities are finished. He could also leave again. Imagine that happening.

He shows his displeasure & disinterest all the time. He pouts on the sideline when things go bad & smirks when things are going well. He has talent but he has a ways to go to mature into a leader like Adams was until Campbell screwed him. TBURGESS and Booch 1 1

He certainly did look disinterested after being pulled. I get they are competitors but great team members put their personal feelings aside and step up on the sidelines to help their replacement as well as the other teammates in any way they can. There was absolutely no energy last night. That’s not solely on NR but he didn’t help matters. Noeller and SpeedFlex27 1 1

Whether it's an act or not, at least he doesn't pout or sneer like Sir Nathan Rourke does. Adams knows how to be a pro & I admire him for it. My son was a qb at Simon Fraser University. I can tell you that there were times he was very unhappy with some of the shitty coaching decisions he had to endure as a qb. But he still clapped & cheered for his brothers who were playing & trying hard to win even though his guts were torn out. He had to show he supported any decision his HC (& he had 3 of them in 3 years) made even if he didn't agree with it. That's what a good teammate & leader does.

TBURGESS Posted September 15 Report Posted September 15 I don't want any player to be OK with being pulled. I don't want any player to pretend that they support a coaching decision that they don't. A good leader is honest and committed not happy to be pulled and supportive of bad decisions.

You want a team of players playing for themselves? You can be pissed off and disagree with a coaches decision... while at the same time actually being a supportive team mate and understanding that the common goal is the most important thing. That's real leadership. wbbfan and BigBlueFanatic 2
TBURGESS Posted September 15 Report Posted September 15 What you're calling a leader, I call a yes man. Simply parroting your boss is called following. Leaders lead. Followers follow. Leaders aren't followers and followers aren't leaders. Players play for themselves and for the common goal. It's not one or the other.

There is also a time to disagree and commit so the whole team can move on. Should anyone be happy about being benched? No Should you pout and come of as whiny in front of the whole team? No Take it up with the coach behind closed doors. Don't let it spill over to affect any one else. And if ultimately you can't reconcile differences with management, you leave for a better situation as soon as you can. BigBlueFanatic, wbbfan, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5
