Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 609676">Yes, we like guys with good work ethic.When such guys come in with an undistinguished resume, enthusiasm can grow high because the ceiling is unknown.  But if the guy muffs an onside kick, then it's "don't let the door hit you in the a*s on the way out", regardless of how hard he works.  Or if such a guy gets hurt, and is out the door with an injury settlement, he's quickly forgotten.The general fan attitude in these matters, and I admit to sharing it, is simply "next man up" when it involves less than star players.  And with star players, the regret might linger for a while, but it's "next man up" eventually.The reason I share this attitude is I assume everybody that comes in should have a good work ethic.  It's a necessary trait, particularly with developmental players if they're to stick around.  So I don't really "award points" for work ethic; it's more a matter of subtracting points if it is not evident.</blockquote>
