One thing that always stuck out to me as odd was how Rosier seemed to talk about his improved leadership by always referencing him "getting into players when they messed up".

Red flag IMO.

He's confused leadership with just yelling and ripping into guys. Leadership is picking guys up around you, making them better.

He also has to take care of himself, first. Guys aren't going to response to Rosier yelling at them about a wrong route/dropped ball/missed block if he's out there airmailing open receivers left and right (with a nonchalant attitude). Quickest way for his teammates to tune him out.

Maybe that's why we're hearing rumors about Richards flipping out on him during the game. I have nothing to back this up, just got me thinking.

Respect is earned. You don't just all of a sudden decide you're going to get in everyone's asses without holding yourself accountable.

Excellent point Marine. I'm former Army, and I can tell you ripping into people is not the answer.

You really think he rips into guys? He doesn't seem to be fiery enough in the belly. All his leadership over the Spring and Summer amounted to was that he did not get into any trouble off field. Any leadership he can earn on the field is negated by his lackluster play. These kids will respect anyone who performs on the field. How can he rip into his receivers when he overthrows them even if they run the right route?
 
Malik isn’t a leader. He has displayed 0 publicly recognizable leadership skills. From his post game interviews to the way he acts on the field. Dude seems just real nonchalant in General. His attitude makes you wonder what DOES he care about?

Honestly, I don't know if he actually does or not.

I'm just going off of what Malik has said himself during some interviews.

And I fully agree with your points.
