SCall13 said:Some people barely pay attention to posts before they respond to them. Ricky was OBVIOUSLY dedicated to the team for the two years he was here. He did, after all, break the record for most carries in a two year span. Seems like dedication to me. Bottom line is, he got tired of it. It's hard to blame him for getting tired of using his body as a human wrecking ball. And that is EXACTLY what would have happened had he stauyed with the team last year. Why would it have happened? BEcause of Dave Wannstedt. And if you don't think that he was a big factor in RW's decision in leaving, then you are seriously delusional.
I am not saying what Ricky did was the right thing all the way around. But if I were him and I had been used that way and didn't see any changes in the way things were going to be ran, then I would have had second (and third) thoughts about playing too. There were several reasons Ricky walked away from the game. And Wanny was a HUGE part of the reasoning.
Im delusional? Look in the mirror bub.
What you see as dedication I see as Ricky making sure he got his incentives. If Ricky just "got tired of it", why didn't he quit earlier? Why did he wait till he was on the verge of being suspended for a year? Why didnt Ricky agree to return to the drug testing program as soon as the guy that was overworking him quit?
Ricky makes up stories to avoid taking responsibility for his actions. What amazes me is that so many people are ready to unconditionally believe anything Ricky says, even after hearing all the contradictory BS he has been spewing for the past 9 or 10 months.
