Leadership is earned, not appointed.

He's just doing what the coaches are telling him to do. It's not his fault that Marv always tries to develop leaders when leaders aren't developed just by telling them to be leaders.

This team has always had a leadership problem and it's goes way farther back than when Dalton got here. They've never been good at finding good leaders in the draft, and any natural leaders we may stumble upon are discouraged from displaying that fire on the field or in interviews.

Of course, when (if) this team starts winning playoff games, we might start to see some of these players show more leadership qualities. Rah-rah speeches can come off as corny when you've never won anything in January.

This is it in a nutshell. 

It's not Andy's fault he's not a leader.  It's the coaches' fault for telling him to be one.  They will not stop meddling with him until they break him and, imo. he is creeping closer and closer to the breaking point.
