It's a cultural problem here. So OutsiderFan referenced an NFL.com podcast with David Shaw here that I'll link to: http://t.co/IxIiaDWAAu
So the podcast guys give every reason why Martin had legitimate worries...and note that basically every other offensive lineman on the team has some character issue...and somehow spend large sections of the podcast wondering whether it was Martin who was the problem. They couldn't even follow their own logic!
By the way, I agree with those that say it might be a recruiting problem. It's not a logical thing to believe -- see Sherman, Luck, et al. -- but then again, people have never had problems believing illogical or unfactual things.
