LJ has some character flaws, no doubt. But I wouldn't go so far as to say all that.

I will be very interested to see what the new staff can do with LJ and his talent. He has never been in a situation where the coaching staff had the ability or the desire to make the most of his talent.

I think LJ is a competitor and does want to be great but has a hard time controlling himself when he gets frustrated. And I believe he was frustrated under both Vermeil and Edwards both because he felt like he was not being used effectively and because he felt disrespected at times. If Carthon and Haley can motivate LJ with the right mix of discipline and respect I believe that LJ can respond in a positive way.

From listening to Haley I get feeling he would like to get a shot at getting the most out of LJ.
