How many of them showed up on day 1 of training camp, honored their contract and did it without complaining. MOST OF THEM!! :bananen_smilies046:

I recall Priest Holmes saying on National TV(a Monday Night game) that he was as happy as anyone alive right now because he got paid.

Camp holdouts sure aren’t the way to start out on the right foot. I understand that guys want to get paid, there are just different ways to go about it.
Camp holdouts are part of the business. Just like disgruntled players and off-field distractions (whether that be run-ins with the law, family emergencies, etc.).
All this stuff happens and always will. The good players are the ones who can still produce no matter how chaotic things may be. The good teams have these players on their rosters. What doesn’t kill you…

Priest showed up to work every day of his contract negotiations.
Of course they all want to get paid. That’s not the real question. he question is “How many players break the agreement that they signed to try and get it?”
And he answer is “plenty”. But that displays what many feel is poor character.

I understand and agree partially with what your saying but if your going to go this route, you need to include coaches and owners as well because MOST all of them want to renegotiate MOST deals before they have ran their course. Does this still question their character? If so, LJ should NOT be thrown under the bus for this! Attitude, maybe. Wanting to get paid, definitley not!

Wanting to get paid, definitley not!You are the one who brought up the thread about getting paid. I know people want to renegotiate, but that is no reason to not show up at work. That is where the question of character is.

That is where the question of character is.Once again, I think your missing my point. YOU and some others have been bashing LJ for this very thing you speak of correct? My statement about your bias is again shown here. You are the almighty optimist yet you continue to bash a player on the team and you so often get on others for doing the same. Coaches, owners and players alike all act like this! I think Brady Quinn was a ROOKIE and held out. Not a word about him from you. Now I understand you couldn’t care less about the Browns but fair is fair. I never hear you bashing any other players, coaches or owners for doing the same exact thing and many times are far more vocal! Like I said, you want to bash his attitude great but to beat him up all day and say nothing of any other player in the league is just hypocritical. Also, I believe you were the one who so emphatically posted that LJ only wanted to get “PAID”!

Also, I believe you were the one who so emphatically posted that LJ only wanted to get “PAID”!You claim to read posts. If you did you would see that I respect the talent that LJ has as a RB. Unfortunately I do not think he brings it all to the table. He is an average receiver, a poor blocker. He throws his helmet on the field when things don’t go his way. He has whined and complained since day 1. (Yes, when he was behind Priest Holmes) Do you honestly think that LJ had a team attitude? That is the only thing that I have ever gotten on LJ for. Yes, I think it sucks that Brady Quinn held out as well as Bowe, LJ and any other player that holds out. It was actually quite refreshing to hear Dorsey say that he did not care about the difference between 50 and 60 million, he just wanted to get out to camp and play. I guess that kind of attitude from a player is too much to ask in todays NFL. I have shown no bias whatsoever. Anything that I have posted about LJ is in a thread regarding LJ. That is what it is there for, to discuss LJ. Not Brady Quinn. So as much as I am the “almighty optimist” (<--is that supposed to be an insult? cause I don't think that is at all what we were talking about) I have not ever "bashed" LJ. Everything I have ever said about him is true. Find me a post where I am bashing him and not talking the truth.

I guess you only read certain threads??
