Then why care?

If he goes out and gives Belicheck type answers, he will be criticized (as was shown by his "waiting for San Fran" press conference). If he were to pull a Marshawn Lynch he would be criticized for that. If he gives a truthful answer, he will be criticized. Why care?

You want him to give specific answers. But if he does give the exact answer you want to hear, he will be criticized. It will be parsed til hell freezes over and whatever context is needed to create a controversy, it will be given using that context, even if everyone knows it was taken out of context. So knowing that... again... Why care?

I still have not figured out why so much is made over a twitter response by someone who gets paid to create a controversy if one is not immediately available for them to report on.

This is the one problem I had with his answer.

It's one thing to say I feel that I'm the best. To say he "knows" he's the best QB on the team isn't going to sit well with other teammates that KNOW he's not the best and see his glaring mistakes day in and day out on the field and in the film room. Let's be honest. The ONLY reason Robert is starting is because of Snyder. He isn't a very good communicator, and yes much of what he says gets overblown to say the least. I really don't think he's realistic about his game in the NFL. In his mind, he's on one universe, the reality has him somewhere completely different.



In the end, people are tired of hearing how good Robert is from Robert. We want to see those words backed up by play, which he hasn't done since 2012.

Could not agree more. Actually just completely sick of this guy at this point. Sick of hearing excuses about his play and his mouth too for that matter.
