Yeah, Matt Patricia has that effect on a lot of players.

Robert Ayers was a Detroit Lion for a day.

"Philosophical differences" ensued, and Ayers remains classy about it despite retiring from the sport:

"Let's just say me and the head coach didn't agree," Ayers said of Lions coach Matt Patricia. "There were some things he wanted me to do that I didn't feel comfortable with. We just weren't on the same page and it didn't work out. He's a tremendous coach, a brilliant mind, there's a lot of things that was great about the Detroit Lions organization, but it was just something that we didn't agree on."

I admire someone who takes the high road, so good on Mr. Ayers.

But let's just say that the brilliance and greatness have been very effectively disguised during the tenure of Misters Quinn and Patricia.
