What does this even mean? I see people make this claim all the time, but they have nothing to back it up.
When Tom Brady yelled at his receivers it was called a sign of "fiery leadership". When carson yelled a Chad it was called a sign of "internal dissension".

He was nearing the end of the line, had a foot injury keep him out of the 2007 training camp, hinder his play until an added knee injury put him on IR, and lost his starting job to Whitworth. At the start of 2008, the Bengals said they'd love to have Willie finish out his career with the the Bengals, but that he'd be a backup to Whitworth, and would need to take a pay cut. Willie refused, and the Bengals let him go. He got a lot of money, and the opportunity to limp his body to the finish line with the team that drafted him.
Willie was replaced by Stacy Andrews instead of Whitworth. And Willie played well enough to help the Ravens win a Super Bowl while the '08 Bengals finished DEAD LAST in total offense because their O-line sucked so bad.
