Philosophy of Football

now i don't have a clue what you're talking about. i don't understand how this hypothetical about reggie bush being an a terrible team relates to what ragu posted about instincts, which you said is exactly what you are looking for.

adjusting to playing on the field and being a professional athlete on a losing team are two wholly different things.

what ragu wrote is true for players who lost in college and won in college. it makes no difference.

 

Leo, if you've won every place you played and you're a stud, you're likely going to go high in the draft, which means you're going to a team that's not very good. The Saints notwithstanding, my question was in general about how these players deal with going from being a winner to being on a team which loses all the time.

Again, it's a focus on the philosophy of football.

Ragu didn't answer my question exactly, but the discussion, the insight, is exactly what I was hoping to generate.

 

This would be a bigger adjustment for basketball players, but the length of the season has to be a tough adjustment too. After eight regular season games and four exhibition games you've played the equivalent of a college season but you've still got at least eight games to go.
