This isn't about Todd Haley first of all. This is about Maurice Carthon. This is also different from the way DJ and DBowe were treated last year. Jamaal Charles, a superstar RB was treated like a 14yr. old Chinese girl in a sweat shop.
All Jamaal did was come off of the field, after getting the team a first down by doing his job, and had a look of displeasure with the situation on his face. This prompts Carthon to "What the **** in your problem? Don't want to come off the field? You're the mother****ing backup RB, it's your ****ing JOB to come off the ****ing field." not only did he say these things, but probably many more as he was said to follow Charles up and down the sideline(this should tell you Charles was trying to get away and end the situation, obviously berated and embarrassed) berating him even more, making sure to make him feel lower than dirt in front of his peers.
Tell me you would stand for this at your place of employment. Tell me you would have no problem being treated like this in front of your coworkers, but some customers as well(Cleveland fans seated right behind the bench). Not cool, especially if you're currently a top 3-5 RB in the league.
Also, for you idiots who think "Jamaal can't get enough carries b/c we go 3 and out all the time". We wouldn't go 3 and out every time if Jamaal carries more, period. The guy averaged 5.9 yds/carry last year, and is averaging 6.4 this year. You could argue that things would become too predictable, but that didn't matter last year did it?
Thomas Jones is doing an OK job, but compared to Charles, he sucks. Best player should be your starter, I personally don't care who starts, but he should at least be the feature back. Jones should take short yardage snaps and maybe a bit more. That's it.

I haven't been on for a few hours, so I may have missed something, but where did you hear this?
