Russini says,
"I was told that Sean had a conversation with him on the field after practice on Friday and let him know that his fit with this team doesn’t work and he doesn’t fit. The personality in the locker room isn’t in sync with what they expect from their players."OK, some of us had reason to suspect as much; the dots were there to connect.
A difference in philosophy and personality fit are euphmisms for the same thing. Cam wanted things his way and when he didn't get it, became a drag on the "we not me" and "all in" culture that McVay works so diligently ti instill and inspire in his players. He saw great promise in Cam's raw abilities, and did all he could to praise whatever positive attitudes he saw in Cam publicly. Unfortunaltely it didn't take.
In this case philosophy and personality are spelled the same: c-a-n-c-e-r.
Coach tried to treat it, finally had to remove it before it infected the body any futher.
Coach and Snead did the right thing, and the Rams were lucky to get anything in return.
People who are excessively self-centered tend to get by on appearances, charm and charisma, self-aggrandisement, manipulation, and when push comes to shove, blame-shifting. They tend to look everywhere but in the mirror when things in their live aren't working. It's a difficult set of traits to deal with, a disorder that defies treatment.
Personal change and growth usually comes all-at-once at a crisis point or when the person hits rock bottom. I hope Cam finds such an epiphany beforehand in his being shipped to Minnesota. He's not a bad person and can be a good journeyman running back. He just has one big stumbling block between him and success in life: himself, and only he can fix it.
