Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dustin" data-source="post: 4085" data-attributes="member: 133">Can you imagine the uproar the players would create in their own circles if half of that came true? A coach ruling with an iron fist used to be the norm - those were the days where players were forced to respect their coaches and do what they say or else they don't play. However these were also the days in which players played just to play - money changes people, and as soon as they found out they could get paid the way they are now, it's corrupted a lot of the sportsmanship of all pro (and some college for that matter) sports. The Patriot's model is nothing short of amazing. The way they have turned mediocre players into 'stars' is out of this world. At this point, however, you have to ask yourself; is it the players they keep getting, or is it the system and coaches? Personally, I think it is the latter.</blockquote>
