I was more or less saying that some narcissist are capable of being good leaders. Back to Jamal Adams....I'm shocked at how he's handled this...He should have kept his displeasure behind closed doors if he was this upset with the Jets GM. In front of the microphone and cameras Adams should have brushed off the trade speculation and reiterated how he's still a Jet and is happy to be here. It's sad to see him unravel like this so publicly. He should have buried the proverbial hatchet by now. Jamal Adams blew a perfect opportunity to shut his haters up, but instead he's given them more material/fuel to work with. Funny thing is that I am not a hater. I think his play on the field is good, but VASTLY overrated by green tinted lenses. I have no idea why all the pundits gush over him, but they have certainly added to his hype. His performance thus far has not lived up to the hype. Not even close. Doesn't mean he is a bad player. I like having him out there. But no way would I ever give him a second contract that he will want. Douglas should have taken the best Dallas offer he got. I am not happy about his decision here at all. What Dallas was offering is worth more than 1.5 or 2.5 more years of Jamal. 2.5 if they exercise the 5th year option, which I am now sure Douglas will do if he can't trade Jamal after the season. Ugh. Douglas should resume Jamal trade talks after the season, notwithstanding Jamal's tantrums. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a spectable of himself, probably gloms on to them as a friend with benefits and is a decent player. He gets outsized praise and attention due to his self promotion and shameless self aggrandization. He's Kim Kardashian without the ball hawking skills. Howard Stern ended up being regularly referred to as the King of All Media by those in media and it was pretty openly a goof at first but he knew full well that eventually it would stick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow it wouldn’t surprise me if Jamal did t play the 1st q and then there is no explanation other than they went with a package that they thought was best at the start of the game.

I have been facilitating executive leadership for over 15 years now. From first time supervisors to C level leaders. As I would tell them you are human and will make mistakes. You have your emotions and sometimes you will let them out when you shouldn't. Great leaders have those moments in private. Great leaders are not on social media letting those moments show. Great leaders don't let others influence their commitment to their vision. Adams has some raw leadership skills but he is not a leader. And No not everyone needs to be a leader all-time.

DarnoldSchwarzeneggar369 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Jamal isn’t dumb. He and his agent are punching a ticket out of town so he can negotiate a fat new contract with a new team.I absolutely agree. This is all a set up for the offseason and an exit from the Jets.

He knows he’s got a finite amount of time left and that if he doesn’t force his way out he’s spending a majority of it with a loser organization. So he’s got 2 options. Hold out next year which really won’t work for him as he’s stuck for at least 2 more years. Or he forces his way out. He sees an opportunity to get out by bitching. He’ll get what he wants. Hopefully we trade him to another sh*tty team so he can be reminded of how little he affects the game. Jamal is all about self promotion and developing his celebrity status. On draft day I truly think he had visions of OBJ fame in NY. Problem is, in 3 seasons he has realized that he will NEVER be OBJ because no one gives a F about a Safety. No strong fundamentals wrap up tackle by the LOS is going to get the replays and attention of a one handed catch. secondly, he is realizing that on top of his inherent positional deficit, if no one cares about a box safety, no one REALLY cares about a box safety on a worst in the league team. Adams is dreaming of playing for the Cowboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
