But like Brady, Russ doesn't need his team mates to be his best friend. He needs them to respect him and trust him. I think he's earned that. And know that he's the veteran leader, I suspect the new WR's will look up to him more. In some ways, the loss of ADB might allow Russ to galvanize the group without their being Russ guys and ADB guys.

I would call him a Corporate QB for lack of a better term.
Not that it may be bad but it's hard to sell to your team mates if you come off with corporate take on everything all the time when they know another side.
