Mayfield:
“I don’t think there’s anything in that moment that I can really say to calm him down. The reality is he’s going to get suspended, we don’t know how long, and that hurts our team. We can’t do that. We can’t continue to hurt this team. It’s inexcusable,” Mayfield said.
I don’t care if Garrett knifed a guy on the field - Mayfield will never again (if he even ever has) be the leader of this locker room. No teammate should ever call out s player like this no matter what he’s done. Mayfield seems to say something stupid and controversial ever six seconds, but this one crosses the line. When Gronk delivered that elbow against Buffalo, did you hear Brady calling him out? Of course not. So easy to handle this question:
“Myles plays with a lot of passion...I feel like we all get caught in the moment and frustration spills over. I’m sure he knows that wasn’t his finest moment, and I support him as a teammate. I hope no one got hurt there.”
But he didn’t say that.
This dude is going to be out of the league in a hear or two. He is a terrible leader and teammate. He throws tantrums at reporters, fans of the team, and publicly calls out teammates. I’m guessing this locker room is going to be fractured from his presence, if everyone hasn’t just turned against him.
