Joe Speaks
WhoDat, again I know Joe produces on the field. All I\'m saying is that Joe is a me first player who isn\'t worried about being a leader. I realize that every player isn\'t cut out to be a team leader. If everyone was a leader then who would follow? You can\'t have all chiefs and no indians. Having said that, it\'s essential that teams have at least some strong leaders. Whether those leaders are coaches or players doesn\'t really matter.
When a team doesn\'t have ANY leadership you get what we\'ve got, a talented team that can\'t get over the hump. Joe is a player that could and should be a strong leader. He\'s a truly great player. As you\'ve said many times before he\'s gone to four of the past five pro bowls. He has paid his dues and is an established star in this league. He has all the makings of being a great leader, except for his me first attitude. It comes down to the fact that he lacks class. Instead of handling team issues behind closed doors, he blasts the team in the media. He\'s always saying stupid things in the media. He\'s always showboating on the field and just acts like the biggest hotdog. The guy acts like a rookie! You would think that these guys would grow up and act like the\'ve been there before. I used to love Joe Horn. He used to be one of my favorite players in the league. But something happened to Joe through the years. All that success got to his head. Now Joe thinks he\'s the second coming or something. I haven\'t given up on him though. There is still hope for him yet, he just needs to come back down to earth a little. |
