He didn't just quit because things got hard; that's not how it went at all. Call it what it was - a holdout.
If you call it a holdout from a guy that was getting pretty well screwed by a cheap-ass organization, it doesn't seem nearly as bad now does it?

What the hell are you talking about? Beat his body for 7 years for league minimum?
He was a backup in Denver for 2 years where he never touched the ball over 70 times a season. He was traded to the Browns in his third year where the Browns gave him a chance and he played well for 1 year. 1 good year and then he holds out.
