Refried Beans Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I wish this young man the best. As someone who has played and coached the game I saw a very raw player with a ton of talent who needed a veteran leader to help him. The last couple of years I saw a frustrated player who, in my opinion, seemed to be losing faith in the coaches and probably was becoming a issue in the locker room with his attitude. I hope he get his head screwed back on straight wherever he may land. I agree with posters from earlier thread that said the end all be all for Vic was not showing to work out with a coach that is offering to help you, that is letting a agent run your life and put you in bad situations.

Refried Beans Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 I just don't know how much plainer it can be, when your coach offers to help you, a coach that is a defensive line coach, that has worked with some of the best in football at Seattle and university of Florida and you ghost him. Especially after he went to bat for you to get you a contract you didn't deserve and you ghost him. That sends the wrong message. Quinn put it all in for VB, he considered VB another Lawrence Taylor type player and VB basically used him. I hope the next franchise that gets him takes this into consideration before signing him. Wish him the best but seen the true colors. Rings, Dukeduke211, #55 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Dirty Bird Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If he goes to the Patriots he will be a pro bowler instantly , He just needs a fire under his a$$ and Falcons don't have that kind of coach . Its best they both part ways he is not worth any real large amount of money and the Falcons have a lot of issues to take care of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwifalcon Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Unfortunately VB44 just wasn’t dedicated to his craft.He reminded me of a guy that’s been naturally good his whole life at whatever sport he’s tried or played.NFLs a different kettle of fish athleticism gets you so far. Thats where the little details count that seperate good from great. Rings and Flying Falcon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even make up crap like that and post it? Vic, while not being what we'd all hoped for as a ball player, is a straight up solid dude, just don't even try with this garbage I am not looking for a debate. But, as frustrating as Refried Beans has been to me at times, he is completely accurate regarding DQ's offer to personally train VB and was shunned. I remember DQ saying that at the end of training, VB would love him or hate him. VB then did not show for OTAs and stated that he was training elsewhere. I was quite surprised the Falcons allowed him to play for another season. I would have cut his *** the minute he showed up in FB. But, I am a disciplinarian. I believe in structure. It seems that every time a player trains elsewhere, that is followed by a disappointing season, I no longer believe a player is training when they say they are training anywhere but FB. I have no proof VB was a problem in the locker room. However, you have all seen the photo of VB standing in the tunnel during the game. Let's just call it moderate circumstantial evidence and we can each have our own opinion. I played football in school. As I got older, the concept of team sports began to mean something to me. I know what it means. If you listen to the words of Falcon players, they all understand team sports. They verbalize the concept of brotherhood. But, VB's actions remind me of these words, "When a person shows you who they are, believe them".

wizatlanta Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I read a post today that is spot on. The guy said Beasley is the quickest guy past the quarterback that has ever been. I've thought that all year that Beasley just rushes past the QB, ushered by some 320# tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
