I cant say the entire team feels this way, but a handful made it pretty clear. 

"perceived leadership" is exactly what I think.  When someone is not a vocal leader and hype guy during some down years, but is suddenly in front of every camera when the team is doing well and it's a contract year, it feels a little artificial.  He was fun to cheer with and for last year, I have no ill will against him, but he wasn't a guy like Whit who demonstrated his leadership year after year in the locker room and on the field.  

You need some of that hype to help keep guys in the moment, but it's definitely not worth what he was paid to go to NY.
