disgusted and pissed
Does his refusal to participate in anything piss anyone off (the latest is no workouts for teams)?
I mean Florio is all over hating the combine, etc. because film should be enough,so this guy should be his test case. If a guy chooses not to do x, y, or z as far as that stuff goes, I don't want to hear one OUNCE of whining if their draft stock falls or teams tell him he is off their boards or whatever due to it. Your choice, your consequence. I mean, we already suspect that some guys in contract years ease off to preserve themselves. Is there any doubt he'd do the same?
I think he is going overboard with the amount of things he is refusing to take part in (those affect just him, I get the mentality and see the "why" of it though I do not agree with it), but the one that actually bothers me to the core is not playing in the bowl game with his team. That tells me he is an unsuitable teammate, period. I do not care WTF his reasoning is. He'd be off my board.
Phil Savage said on NFL Live today that he was talking to a 10 year veteran player about this whole Bartleby the Scrivener act ("I prefer not to")McCaffrey has going and the player told Savage, "You can't selectively compete. You have to compete every single day when you get to the NFL". If some teams/GMs are old school like that, he may see his draft status suffer, and hence, his wallet, the one thing he is trying to protect.
