Joffrey isn't a selfish guy. If they win, he doesn't say anything. He knows he can help this club win. The reason he says this is because if you give him the rock, every once in a while he's going to put up a big gain which moves the offence into a position to score points. He's frustrated because he knows he has skills that the coaches aren't utilizing. Those skills can help the team win, and thats what he wants to do.
I agree. Watch the talking heads accost him and run him out of town though, citing that he's a me-first, selfish player. Then watch him tear it up on another team with a QB and offensive system that is competent 100% of the time, rather than somewhere between 50-75%. Just another reason to be fed up with the Stamps.
