[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 670193"] As I said, I find the complaints semi-similar. I don't particularly find them justified nor sufficiently articulated to connect the dots fully. These players had not played anywhere else to know if their complaints about "brain washing" or unvarnished assessments are especially out of the ordinary. What the two comments have in common are the fact that the organization and the QB adhere to the process regardless of a players occasional mistakes (everybody makes them) or their limitations. What Driver may have been saying is that with his skills having meaningfully eroded as a marginal player in his last few seasons, Rodgers was still holding him to the standards and expectations of his former Pro Bowl self. One could judge this in a couple of ways. On one particular throw, perhaps the QB could be more accommodating to current realities, if not on the field than in the meeting room. On the other hand, if in exposing the diminishment of talent in an unvarnished assessment of the current state of play accelerates the transition to a younger player, the approach might sound harsh on a personal level in putting dedication to the process over personality. It would be hard to believe Driver would have been so sensitive to criticism when he was playing at a Pro Bowl level. Recall that Driver wanted to play another year (or years); he might have thought Rodgers failure to accommodate diminished skills (but good enough in Drivers' mind) contributed to his "premature" retirement. In any case, putting process over personality seems to be the nub of both complaints. I side with the QB. [/QUOTE]
