What is Gaskins thinking?

I listened to the Bronco Mendenhall’s interview where he talked about his discussion with Gaskins and how he admired him for being willing to step down from the #2 QB spot. But I’m not so sure I admire him for stepping down.

One one side, he’s looking out for the team more than his ego, but on the other side the team is made of the individuals and their drive. If Gaskin’s is willing to give up something that he already has, then I’m not sure he deserved the #2 spot anyway. I’m sure that just sealed the deal for Mendenhall. Not because he nobly stepped down, but because he revealed why he was going to lose the spot anyway.

Was it nobility that allowed Gaskins to give up #2 or was it a lack of determination. I know as an athlete myself (high school glory days), I never, ever would have given up a spot as a starter or a backup. I switched positions twice "for the good of the team," but I never dropped a spot on the depth chart.

But I’m not convinced. Does anyone have any insights that I’m not thinking of?
