Quote:Again..what is the problem with the concept of competing?


NOTE: Opponents don't show up conceding a game. You have to COMPETE to get the WIN. As a player, you don't arrive to practice expecting to start and get play time. You COMPETE to get that.


There is nothing wrong with the concept of wanting to compete at every single turn. That's what the great ones do.


I mean, shoot.


Even Tom's comment about lunch (which everyone loves) is about competing.

I dont understand what's so hard to grasp. There's nothing wrong with the word compete or even the phrase "just get better"... but under Gus Bradley, they basically became euphemisms. He explicitly decided not to use the W word for the first two years and built a culture where winning at all costs wasn't stressed - but "competing" and "getting better" was.


Guess what Gus? Other teams are getting better too. Other teams are competing. Competing and getting better every day isn't enough - you gotta win.
