Lingard in the Portal

I didn't say he'd "never be good." I think his speed gives him a chance in the right role. I'm trying to tell you why he hasn't played under either staff.

Manny isn't the type of guy who is stubborn with talented players. He brought Jeff back after quitting the team. He started Jarren after he quit on the team. He plays talent to a fault. If he thought post-injury Lingard could help, he would've played him.

Lol really?

He started patchan over GR


He played knowles and the white walk on over much more talented players.

I get the kid is doing what he thinks is best for him, but yeah, I can blame him. Because I remember a time when the first thing anyone thought when a kid didn't see the field was "I guess he's not as good as the other guys". The expectation was that you earn your spot, it's not given to you because you were hot sht in HS. Now we're all so sure everybody on the bench is a star and should be playing. Whenever we're disappointed by one player we claim there's a better guy on the roster and the coaches are morons. But never, under any circumstances does anyone think the kid just isn't getting it done. It's like when everybody was positive we had a better QB and Richt was playing Rosier for nefarious reasons. Or when everybody was sure any QB who could run would be better than Kayaa.

Nothing against Lingard, but maybe he wasn't showing that he deserved to see the field. Possibly he couldn't remember the protections or fumbled a lot in practice or is lazy. Or maybe he's amazing and Manny completely screwed up. We don't know, and I'd trust the staff even less if they played the kid just to prove they were right about him not seeing the field.

Good luck to the kid, but I think he should have hung in and tried harder.

Wish that kid nothing but luck and success. **** seemed downright personal the way he was treated.

They didn't even give the kid a chance to fail on the field so they could at least point and say "See, we were right all along. He's no good."

They just seemed not to want to let him play. Weirdest **** ever, and not a good look imo.

Tweed is still my guy.

Holy sht, are you serious? I don't know why they didn't put him on the field, but a staff that would play a kid to prove to fans he sucks is the fcking worst. As bad as this staff is, that's a whole step down even for them.
 
Been saying this for months, but Lo's fam and people like Tweed can't bring themselves to believe that he actually wasn't holding up his end of the bargain.

You can look back at my old posts THIS YEAR which I reference my personal relationship with COACHES on this team, who all said that he didn't know who to block or what to do on plays. Similar talk for one of your other 5-stars... Literally was labeled a liability by the coaches I know.

It wasn't personal, that is something I can assure you. I think Cam's tweet towards Lo shows some of that anger towards the situation. Not doing your part and still complaining you aint getting playing time? Bonkers.

But we got fans out here like "its the coaches fault!" I am telling you, it might be to an extent, but these players for SURE have blame to shoulder.
