Blount does not look like a malcontent to me...
he got that character tag when he sucker punched that taunting boise st player. what was he 19?
There's a kind of guy who can't handle losing.
For all that stepping up in pressure situations is a test of your mettle, giving 100% effort all season long for a team that's obviously going nowhere must be the toughest challenge in sports. It's even tougher if you suspect that you're better than most of the players around you, and if you have to follow the direction of idiot coaches you don't respect.
None of that is an issue here, which allows the Patriots to get the best out of that particular breed of "malcontent," at least for a couple of seasons while the memories of the bad times stay fresh.
I think that's usually a bigger issue than losing. Losing sucks real time, a lack of leadership sucks 100% of the time. Tampa wasn't just losing; they were losing, they weren't using Blount, and there weren't any real signs of that situation improving. To be content in that situation would be more of a warning sign IMO.
