Yes, it's very apparent he doesn't care by his play and anger on the sidelines. He generally appears as though he's just punching the clock each game (insert large layer of sarcasm here).
If you can't tell he has been outplayed by Hardesty on the field this year, then I cannot help you, sir.
Arian has always been the joker on the team. Remember when he interviewed himself and then interviewed himself as another player (or something like that). Plain and simple, it is just his nature to be goofy. Nothing wrong with it.
However, there is a time and place for it. I dont disagree with him not talking to the media. BUT. The team is doing terrible, when he gets the ball we pray he doesnt fumble, two other backs on the team are better and more talented, and he cant score a touchdown or make a big play. Now is the time for SENIOR leadership, not freshman antics.
Rest assured, I don't need help -- nor would I want yours. However, by what measure is Hardesty better? Arian still has a better yards per carry average -- with more carries. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm just stating that people are trying hard to place blame which distorts their views. For all the crap AF gets, I didn't see a peep about Hardesty pounding the line 3 times in a row for -1 yards to get a critical first down. Now --does that make one back better than the other...no. My point is people are only looking at the favorable side of Hardesty and Creer (while exciting has done nothing but in mop up duty against are weakest opponents) because they crave change or something new. Be careful what you wish for -- a 5.2 YPC average is not something I would want to give up. Fumbles? Legit argument given the timing.
The point is the 3 backs are impressive but I doubt one back has really set himself apart from the others.
