You are worn out, losing by 7 with 2 min and are coming back to the huddle...

[Mackdaddydean]

Who do you think would be more likely to get in your face and motivate you to go back out and make a play ? I'm just curious with all the talk of Campbell's Valium-like demeanor and the masses crying out for Colt.

EDIT: I've changed the thread title to more accurately suit the situation for leadership. Instead of a dropped ball it'd be more of a team togetherness situation.

[CRobi21]

I've never met either of them. How am I supposed to know?

[SkipJackSkin]

Do we really have to talk about this?

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Neither...it's my responsibility to catch the damn ball and to motivate myself to hold onto it next time.

[gjshipp]

Remember they were saying this about Eli last year, winning makes your demeanor the right one, losing makes it the wrong one....personally I think it is irrelevant but none of us are with the team on the field during games or during the week in practice. Demeanor doesn't matter if you win..

[McD5]

Have you ever heard one player tell the media that JC's excitement is infectious?

Or that he lifts the entire team?

[footballhenry]

First off I can't vote in good conscience because I don't know Colt's demeanor. That said, I still don't have any evidence to get excited about JC's demeanor either. I hardly ever see him fired up, or just having a great time on the field (ala Brett Favre; but beleive me I know MOST QB's can't capture that type of spirit when they play)

[authentic]

i expect the QB to spit in my face and talk about my mother.

[Mackdaddydean]

So you wouldn't want a leader to help you along the way then?

[CRobi21]

If I needed "motivation" to catch a ball, I probably wouldn't be on the field in the first place.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

So you wouldn't want a leader to help you along the way then?

A leader to help me catch the damn thing? Hell no.

I play football a few times a week, and not for a luxurious living. My motivation to not **** up comes out of pride in myself and a desire to help my team win. I hold myself accountable for my actions and don't need anyone to motivate me to bust my ass every play.

I agree with this post 100%. You do not drop the ball, period. And if you do drop the ball, you shouldn't need some input from outside to motivate you.

Tangent: Uh, that avatar - looks like somebody is cheating.

It's not cheating if the rules are "broken" to begin with

[zeroburrito]

leadership means absolutely nothing. players need to motivate themselves or get another job.

[CRobi21]

I decided to go with JC.

I mean.

For Colt to motivate me in the huddle would mean he'd have to be on the field and actually playing.

OHHHHHHHH!

[modazfuk]

First off, Brennan would not do some kind of Mike Ditka in your face if his receiver dropped a catchable pass. If he were to say something, he would put the incompletion on himself. Bad pass or whatever.

Of course the receiver knows otherwise and subsequently will try harder next time.

[PCS]

Neither. I'm too busy looking for that damn football so I can kick it.

Yeah you're right encouragement or an ass chewing never helped anyone.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Point me to where I said that.

All I'm saying is you posed a question about catching the ball. No one can motivate you to hold on to it...that's all on you.

*And as for me and playing sports all of my life, neither encouragement or an ass chewing ever did much for me. It was on me to go out and play hard and execute. I was either going to of my choosing or not.

[redskins4life234]

I don't think I would care. I think i'd just be wondering who is going to the clubbin that night with me, and talk about how excited I am to be getting my paycheck.

[tiger187126]

how about a proven NFL winner?

that's who i would want motivating me, but honestly this thread is moot.

chastising someone is not a positive thing and i seriously doubt a rookie with no experience is going to chew out guys with 5 years in the league

[[[ghost]]]

Having neither met neither one of them, I can honestly say I have no ****ing idea.

And anyone who answers that question without knowing either one of them is a fool.

[ohioskinsfan]

Can we stop already with the JC CB discussions?

1) It is the receivers job to catch the ball.

2) Who said the QB is the only one who can step up and be the leader?

HTTR

STBonecrusher great answer.

You are so hardcore man. Hard. Core.
