Jason Campbells response to Portis

As soon as the season ended, there were players questioning leadership. I think that's evidence enough that there was a lack of leadership.

Or perhaps it's just affirmation that the team was disappointed in the results of the season.

I still don't get some things that are just denied by some on here. There's a pink elephant right in the middle of the room, and some people are still ignoring and denying that there's anything even there.

Now that pink elephant is saying, "I'm here and I'm a pink elephant" - and there's still doubt and denial that the pink elephant is in the room.

So all of this backstabbing and lack of leadership is a lesser problem to you.

I think you and a lot of people on here are downplaying too much the importance in leadership. That's the biggest difference in Gibbs and Zorn.. Peyton Manning and Jason Campbell..

It's a problem sure, but ask yourself this. What good is leadership when you simply don't have the talent? Specifically on the offensive line. What amount of leadership was going to fix what was one of the worst lines in the entire league?

Great points, Ruhskins, leadership is not exclusively vocal activity.

Yeah, I really get tired of hearing people say player X doesn't get up in anyone's face, doesn't bitch anyone out, etc. Sorry but that's not leadership.

I can't help but recall a statement by Thiesmann (I think?) at the beginning of the season... he had brought up that there was some bad stuff brewing in the locker room. Clearly he knew what he was talking about.

I think those complaints had more to do with lack of leadership from the head coach. Zorn was nothing more than a figure head.

No there have been players complaining that there were a lack of leaders from the players themselves.

what players?

So I guess we should assume all this chatter is directed towards JC only?
