But I have to reference other players and even other sports here -- getting in a different system around different players with different coaches can, sometimes, breed success. More often, in basketball, it seems. But I'll throw out the first football example that comes to mind -- Randy Moss. A lot of that was his own attitude but don't be afraid to throw out SOME optimism. Now, freak out and anoint him king? Definitely not, you're right about that. I guess I have to tip my hat to ya Colorblind, I’m a little less fortunate in my knowledge of this, it seems..
