I heard Abdul after the game and said that QP is his mentor and he watches how hard he works and it is wearing off on him too. Just his hard work makes him a leader.

This team is still young and struggling to find an identity, and the high expectations can lead to quite a bit of criticism if the team underperforms. It is great that he is shouldering the blame and letting his teammates develop and progress, with a little less pressure on them. If he still is doing this in February and March though, that is a different story; this team will certainly need some accountability by then.

But then again, do we know he isn't? You may know more than I, but behind closed doors he could be a lot tougher on them right? I don't believe in blasting your teammates in the media. His quotes after the games, the only thing about those that scare me is that he might lose his confidence, get too down on himself. I believe you’re right, he needs to be tougher on his teammates.

I wonder if he is doing that quietly, behind the scenes.....? It would be more effective than laying people out in the media or on camera. Couldn’t agree more, Josh.

It won't change, it can't change...it's the same reason why he's always gone and shot ft's after a loss...he takes every loss personal and always has. It's an honorable quality...but I hope he doesn't go through life carrying such a burden. I do hope we see someone else step up though...it does seem that the rest of the team is allowing QPon to shoulder all the blame. Maybe perception isn't reality, but I sure would love to see IT show some similar responsibility traits...I thought we would this season...but if it is there, it hasn't very clearly revealed itself.
