Cedric Benson airs complaints....again

Roman Modrowski from the Sun Times writes about Cedric Benson and his claim that the Bears treated him unfairly:

"Sometimes it seemed I was going against some of the same guys I was going to war with during the weekend," Benson said. "We were supposed to be a team trying to achieve a common goal every Sunday, and sometimes during the week -- maybe even on Sunday -- it seemed I was battling against my own team, from all aspects: some player, some staff ... It just didn't seem to work, whether from what I just mentioned or not getting the ball enough."

If this is true, it should have been addressed by the coaching staff. Even if Benson deserved the tension he received from his teammates, such animosity can damage a locker room, and it shouldn't have been allowed to fester.

One thing that is tough to dispute is Benson was released prematurely. He was cleared of all charges relating to that drunken boating incident in Texas, but he was released before his case went through the legal process.

"Of course I was unfairly treated or there would have been something come about," he said. "I would have had to do community service or something. Justice was served. The court system held up, and it just sucks that there was not enough support in Chicago -- or belief in me in Chicago - to hang around or withstand seeing the truth come out."

I understand where Cedric is coming from. However, let's look at Cedric's history:

1) Came into camp late after a holdout, which started him off on the wrong foot

2) Feuded with Thomas Jones, who was one of the locker room leaders by most accounts

3) Complained about playing time too often

4) Arrested for BWI on May 5th, 2008

5) Arrested for DUI on June 7th, 2008

I realize that everyone is allowed due process, but I wholeheartedly agree with Jerry's decision to release Cedric. If you screwed up and it was a one-time thing, fine. But to go out and get arrested on suspected DUI a month later is idiotic. The Austin PD is well-known for their willingness to arrest University of Texas athletes for any offense. They don't sweep anything under the rug because you're an athlete with nationwide celebrity, which is how it should be.  If you drink, call a damn cab or some of your former teammates still in Austin. Sorry Cedric, you deserved to be fired after that.

This reminds me of a scorned high school lover; one side says they've moved on, but they continually air past greviances. I wish Cedric the best with his new team.

Regardless, the Bears - Bengals game this season will be one to watch. Lucky for me, I'll be in Chicago that weekend for a conference. No better time to go to my first Bears game. :)

I agree. And there is more.......

This guy is a real piece of work. Everyone else is the bad guy except Cedric. It was also said that he was a loner, never wanting to spend any time with teammates. And that he was stuck up like he didn’t need to give anyone else the time of day. He had an attitude like he should be the undisputed starter and how dare they have him compete for the job. Screw Cedric Benson! Then he wants to go and bad mouth the organization for doing what was right by letting him go. Everyone knows that the Bears are just about zero tolerance when it comes to protecting the image of the team. Bad mouthing Thomas Jones? what an idiot. Why? Because Jones is everything a football player should be?

funny

the Bears are so intent on having a squeaky clean locker room, they’ll oust anyone that’s had a few little scewups. getting rid of Tank Johnson and Cedric Benson has not made this team better. the thing is both those guy’s were cleared of their charges and have not made a mistake since. It shames me as a black man to see these guys act like idiots, but their actions still don’t hold a candle to the likes of Michael Vick, who was given chance after chance. even before the dogfighting thing there was the flipping off the crowd, the “weed compartment issue”, and let’s not forget the whole Ron Mexico saga. I’ll even go as far as to say that if vick’s sentence was around a couple of months, Blank would had welcomed him back with open arms. i just feel like the Bears could had cut those guys some slack. it woked for jamaal lewis and ricky williams.

Tank was given more than one chance and the Cedric issue.....

was more than the legal issues. He wasn’t a team player. From the beginning he caused problems in the locker room. Tank came from college with issues so he was already being closely watched.

the locker room issues benson had

were greatly blown out of proportion by Chicago media. Thomas Jones Beefing with teammates is nothing new. So he held out of training camp. Big friggin deal. it’s not like it’s a rare thing. john tait held out his rookie year in KC did that cause a rift between him and the bears? was he outspoken? sure he was. Was he Terrell Owens bad? not by a long shot, and the niners never once entertained the notion of cutting him. If how he behaved in the locker room was so bad, why didn’t he get suspended for conduct detrimental to the team? matter fact, why couldn’t the bears just suspend him instead of releasing him? they did it to Tommie Harris for missing a meeting.

I think they both had an adequate amount of chances. So you basically think because getting rid of them didn’t make the Bears a better team it’s ok to keep them as long as we win because of it. That is about the most retarded thing I’ve ever read. So is it because they are football players they should be cut some slack? If they were regular people like you and I, how many chances do you think our bosses would give us? I’d be in some trouble if I was arrested twice for 2 alcohol related incidences in just about a month or so. So why in the hell should I give Ced any slack? Tank is stupid plain and simple and he was a problem. They made poor decisions followed by poor decisions and I think they were dealt with properly, or would you prefer more Pacman like behavior?

If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

I think a DWI and a BWI are childs play compared to Shooting somebody

Please don’t compare Benson to Pacman. that’s just plain unfair. The only thing Benson is guilty of is being an amphibious drunk. Here’s what i know. after that boating incident, everybody on that bears team came to Bensons defense, Ecspecially Vasher, Tillman, and Harris. Bill Parcells kicked out Zack Thomas and Jason Taylor, but kept the one guy everyone was certain would be gone in Ricky Williams. you think it was bad for Benson how his teammates treated him, it was well documented how critical the Dolphins were of Ricky.

I didn't say Benson

was like Pacman. I said if we let things go then it could become “Pacman” like behavior. I don’t know how you can say that BWI and DUI are childs play, no he didn’t shoot anybody but what if he killed someone with the boat or his car? Remind me to never be on the road when you are because I’m sure you have a bar there set up in the passenger seat since it’s no big deal.

I don’t know how you can say that BWI and DUI are childs play

I’m sure you intentionally left out the rest of my statement

I think a DWI and a BWI are childs play COMPARED to Shooting somebody

How is it Pacman like behavior? he never shot anyone, never ordered a hit on anyone. he went to the bengals, the NFL’s cesspool for troublemakers and was virtually spotless. Pacman went to the cowboys, and still caused problems. Ditka was arrested for a DUI in ‘85. you think anybody was calling for his head? It’s hard for me to defend Benson seeing that I’m trying to sober up myself. If he makes another mistake, then I’ll take back everything I said. but from my own experiences and mistakes, I firmly believe everyone has a chance for redemption.

I'm all for a second

chance and Benson got his and he repaid that by going out and getting a DUI. Tank was given the bennefit of the doubt and then he went out to the club and his buddy got shot. Did Ditka go out and get another DUI a week later? I highly doubt it. Again I’m not saying that Benson is Pacman or ever will be Pacman, all I said was it could lead to that type of behavior. As far as leaving off the end of your statement about DUI/BWI compared to shooting somebody I actually explained that

I don’t know how you can say that BWI and DUI are childs play, no he didn’t shoot anybody but what if he killed someone with the boat or his car?

So I guess you left out the rest of what I said intentionally.

You know

Those guys are getting paid a ton of money. As far as I see it, their life should be to focus on your job and the team, and as a coach, GM, President or owner, I would expect nothing less for my money. They make the rules, the players play. If the players don’t want to abide by the rules, then see ya. Both Tank and Benson were given multiple chances, and neither of them were superstars. I could see a team bending their rules a bit if Benson was a 1700 yard 20 touchdown guy. But he wasn’t and isn’t. Tank isn’t a top 10 DT. not worth the headache.

by Subotai on Mar 4, 2009 3:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I don't disagree with you...

but keep in mind these very same players that are getting millions of dollars are getting paid because of their talent, not because they are proven model citizens. For a lot of players, they are bone heads who have never had money, and they don’t know how to act when they get it. Football should be the #1 priority, but unfortunately, money can distract stupid people.

good point

I agree with you. and although I’m sure it doesn’t say you have to be a role model for 10 year olds in their contracts, they still are. The NFL is trying to clean up their image and so most of the teams are trying to do the same. I think this a painful new reality for a lot of these guys who aren’t very bright and come in to a ton of money. it may be painful as a fan, but I appreciate a team’s integrity and sticking to their philosophy or enforcing their rules.

I realize Ced Ben escaped League Punishment

But, before I go into my two cents lemme just say that personally, if you look past the off the field stuff, Ced Ben would be a good guy to have on the team now. He and Forte? Forget about it! That being said here is my two cents:
First of all, his off-the field behavior, mainly in his comments to reporters makes me say I don’t miss him as I just said before, but again I was saying forget off-the-field before and with it, no way.
Second, he escaped league suspension but his timing was bad. Maybe we should have let the legal system run its route but this was just a year removed from Tank Johnson and the Bears didn’t look so great following that incident and we didn’t want to be the next Bengals. You get arrested twice in a month? Yikes. That would look bad for anyone.

Lastly, ChiFan, exactly how do you know when the Bengals-Bears will play, the schedule isn’t out yet and secondly, it’s in Cinci not Chicago so even if you were in Chi-town that weekend, the game won’t?

on the other hand...

Just some counter-points…

1) Came into camp late after a holdout, which started him off on the wrong foot

True… but many top players holdout. It is a business, and, unfortunately, holdouts are a part of the business.

2) Feuded with Thomas Jones, who was one of the locker room leaders by most accounts

My understanding, from what I have read, is that was in large part Jones’ fault, or, at worst, 50-50. Jones didn’t like someone coming in and taking playing time from him.

3) Complained about playing time too often

That is a fair complaint, though I want guys who want to play, and believe that they should play. But complaining about it publicly is worth criticizing him for.

4) Arrested for BWI on May 5th, 2008
5) Arrested for DUI on June 7th, 2008

Very fair criticisms, but not relevant to what Benson was saying. They all happened after everything happened with the teammate situations.

From all reports, Benson did get attacked by many players, and was often treated as an enemy by his own teammates. I think that is a valid criticism of his teammates, and it is something that the coaches should have stepped in on. Maybe they did – I am don’t know, but there is little indication that any coaches stepped in and stopped it.

Good counterpoints

Re #3: I want guys who want to play too. But it seemed like everytime I picked up the Trib, I’d read about Cedric complaining. After a while, that got old for me.

Re #4/5: Cedric said this about getting cut:

The court system held up, and it just sucks that there was not enough support in Chicago — or belief in me in Chicago – to hang around or withstand seeing the truth come out.

That was more why I included that, because he put himself in a bad situation twice in one month. Whether he was innocent or guilty didn’t matter IMO.

But from your final point, it did seem like many people were out to get Benson. The coaches and team leaders are responsible for that; absolutely no doubt about that.

I think he was crying

because he was about to get paid, not because he was going to play in the NFL. He has always been about the benjamens. I don’t care if a guy cries (i cried my eyes out at marley and me), but Benson is a bad dude. Everything about him is bad. The interview after he got drafted, while he was crying, he said he asn’t going to be in a rush to get to camp because he wanted to get the business stuff worked out.

An eternal complainer

Maybe if he played hard, got up off the ground with a sense of urgency, was in shape, and took his profession seriously then it may have been wrong to cut him. Now that he got another contract I wonder if he’ll tank it again.

#1 Picks Like Benson

These guys are usually the best players on their college team. They are used to getting their asses kissed since Pop Warner. They become millionaires on draft day and often enter the NFL with a sense of entitlement regarding their upcoming careers.

Being their teams #1 pick, the spotlight shines brightest on them. For every guy (like a Peyton Manning) who was mature and mentally tough, another guy (like a Ryan Leaf) is immature and mentally weak.

If you draft an immature and mentally weak player in the first round, you better hope you have a coaching staff that maybe can make a man out of him.

Otherwise, you probably just wasted a number 1 pick.

I heard stories about how he used to pick up on chicks by saying " im gonna be a millionaire soon" and gloating that he would be rich. Then he crys because his wont get his money!

BABY!!!!! I am sooo happy hes gone.
He never tried, danced in the hole and couldnt catch or block?
Good riddance to bad rubbish!

I had to reply to them

Purpleeater09 was posting on our site about Housh, and how the Vikes basically signed him. I had to call him out on it after he signed with the Seadawgs.

That's right!

Don’t let those Purple Pantyhose Eaters get away with trying to ridicule us. We should fight them.

Hey

No, somehow, someway that post caught my eye. That’s all.

I just “lurk” here and on the Niner’s blogs cause of Mike Singletary. I just posted something there about most (not all of those peope). About how many of them just bitch and moan, all the time about EVERYTHING!

The owners, the GM, the new HC, the players, the stadium and on and on and on. Bitch and moan. Almost always without an intelligent thought to back it up.

There are some intelligent people there (who would probably share those same thoughts of mine) but honestly, a lot of those people are just STUPID.

They think that they are almost entitled there, to have a HOF QB, cause they had Montana & Young. That kind of thing.

Honestly, even though there are disagreements here, you guys, overall, make a LOT more sense than those guys!

o.k. if you say so.

Just don’t stray to far from the den. I don’t like to see one of my own gallivanting to much with the enemy. Just, “Hit and run”, “stick and move”, you know what I’m saying? good.

Don't try to be civil with those people, there is no reasoning with them.

You gotta let them know that the Bears are the top of the food chain.

You're killing me here (LOL)

I couldn’t help but notice today. The 49ers have a coach called “Samurai Mike.”
We have a coach called “Lovie.”

What’s that Jewish expression? Oy Vey?

Could be worse

You could be stuck in Mississippi like me. Welcome to the armpit of America.
