He obviously cares more about being right than any other subject on this board, but that's just how some people are. Disregarding a players sacks because of the system? Coaches are there to put their players in places where they can succeed. 

 

Reason being, every player has their strengths and weaknesses. Stunting is a strength of Branch's, but that's suddenly a bad thing? Of course it isn't, but some people will say it is because it, "looks easy." Anyone who's tried doing it knows it's far from easy, especially in the NFL when Gamespeed is through the roof. 

 

Quote:It's unbelievable. Saying he sucks and his calling him garbage.. He wouldn't say that to his face though, no way.

 

Of course not. People forget how challenging being an NFL player is period. Anyone who's even played high school football should be able to understand how difficult the process is.

 

And some often forget that these players are people too.
