Honestly I think a ton of NFL players don't really care about football and treat it like any other job and I don't blame them ... the guys that really love the game and have a burning desire to be great are pretty easy to spot (Brady, Brees, Jameis, JJ Watt, Luke Kuechly, Adrian Peterson, etc) ... and then there are guys who are just so ultra-talented that there lack of fire and drive is overcome by their talent (Rodgers, Lev Bell, Odell, etc) but I wouldn't doubt it if some 80%+ of players don't care about football and wins and losses much at all ... it's just their job.
I mean, how many people do you think go home from working a shift at Wal-Mart and feel horrible for not stacking as many boxes as the day before or spend hours thinking of how they can be more efficient for the company ... same with athletes, they leave the team, go party, hang with family and do their own thing ... it's just a j-o-b.

It was rough, but I'm not sure Alonso really had enough time to pull up. I think Suh choking Mallett was more grievous.

As a management consultant, I will tell you that there are two schools of thought on what motivates employees in the workplace:
Theory X Managers believe employees only work for the paycheck
Theory Y Managers believe employees are motivated by other factors such as Sense of Achievement and Earned Recognition.
I believe in Theory and have seen be effective many times over the last 20 years.
I would be extremely surprised if anywhere close to 80% of players look at it as just a job and a paycheck.

You may be right, but I don't know ... even the guys who are motivated to make all-pro and stuff like that may just be motivated as it will earn them a contract bonus ... I really don't think many guys are motivated to give their all to become "great" ... I think there is a very small remnant of players that are that driven ...
