Is lack of discipline a valid concern for this team?

#13

For years and years we kept hearing how lackluster the talent was on this roster. Because Gene Smith kept drafting choir boys for the most part. So, what do you guys want? What do you expect from the millennial generation and soon to be generation Z of athletes coming into the NFL? They've all grown up with social media, instant access, etc.

A lot of them lack a ton of home training. And of course, not all of them are the same. But you have to learn how to take in the bad with the good. And because of how the player's union is these days a lot of these athletes now are getting treated with kid's gloves instead of fists of rage. Each generation seems to get softer and watered down since I have been alive.

I get frustrated with some of the things I read and see as well. But a lot of that starts within your home. Winning is the remedy though. And I think people forget the "bad boys" of the NFL back in the day. Riggins and the shed with beers after practice. The Raiders and their rowdiness behavior leading up to big games, etc. We just didn't hear about it as much because social media wasn't a thing back then.

The NFL and most professional sports in general have always been driven by diva's and ego's. It is what it is. As long as their actions don't result in actual laws being broken I could really give two solid [BLEEP].
