- Ross lacked confidence and needed to be coddled. In short, couldn't handle the pressure.
- Warrick was coming along nicely, but suffered an injury he never recovered from.
- Akili just didn't put in the work. He was essentially Jamarcus Russell with less talent.
Confidence is huge. But so is work ethic and talent. You need all 3.
Shake, i didnt say they didnt fail for different reasons.
However, I said just because their a high draft pick doesnt mean that the draft pick can't fail for multiple reasons.
I mean hello we're the Bengals organization, if it can happen it'll happen to our franchise, I'm just sayin!
Confidence is huge, your correct but say this kid comes in and only puts up 500 yards this year and has a a few critical drops.
Do you not think the fan base is going to ride him hard? Talk crap on talk radio about him? Right they are. So the kid may have confidence but he better have better blinders.
