A. Nobody said he's a genius
B. If his wife went all irrational, it could be a smart move to back her up for a bit, until it became obvious even to her he had no choice but to report to Oakland
B, while unsupported by anything like solid facts, isn't a totally crazy guess, given that Mrs. Seymour has something of a history of excited behavior.
I thought I read at the beginning of this that RS told someone he had a feeling he was on his way out?
All he had to do was issue a statement shortly after the trade happened, explaining he had to get some personal business done before going west. No doubt he felt shocked and no doubt he had some heavy family issues to deal with. But the skeptic in me believes he was exhausting all options before finally deciding to report.
I think Seymour thought he could pout about the trade and somehow get out of it. He's used to whining and getting his way. Then when he saw how things were falling and that he had no recourse, he used the "personal business" as an excuse. Pure and simple.
none of us can know that, of course, unless we were speaking to him regularly over these past few days.
i'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a guy who gave so much to the Pats and to accept that he was thrown for a loop by the whole matter and needed a few days to adjust.
other than rumor, as far as I know these are his first public statements since the trade. his words here are perfectly reasonable and appropriate. any other reading of them or fantasy about what he "really" felt is our projection.
