Yeah, this all seems made up. The people who think our staff is any degree more malicious to the athletes than any other average staff are weird.
I don't think our staff is more malicious. I think our staff has a system and a history of handing situations a certain way, including making an example out of those with better natural talent that don't "work harder" than everyone else. They suck at and generally don't give a crap about recruiting. In turn, they work their players harder than most, which results in some under developed players and their bodies responding by turning into legit P5 players/bodies.
On the other hand, some player's bodies can't withstand that workload while maintaining their full health. A faction of our fans base, for some stupid reason, takes pride in other people's work ethic and label players like Barnes as divas and cancers. The coaches are doing what they think is in their best long term interest. This system seems detrimental to Barnes and his performance and getting on the field. If he thinks he has a shot at 1 year on an NFL roster and this system keeps getting him hurt, I wouldn't blame him at all for looking out for his best interest and leaving.
