Or, is it really his fault if dumb/stubborn coaches play Carr and Claiborne ahead of him?

Yea i dont think i am doing that. I just dont feel the need to put down his game because he is wanting a pay raise.
It probably wouldnt take much more of a raise to make him happy. Pick your battles, i wouldnt fight this one if i was Stephen. Scandrick is an important player on the defense.

True. I think he's getting some sort of advice that he has Dallas over a barrel right now. If they cut Carr and Claiborne is just not ready to be a starter (ever), then who do they have? If they want to punish Scandrick and cut him, he will be overpaid by a Saints or Redskin team. He's just in strong position to extort the team and he's unfortunately taking advantage of it.

Stephen Jones: We just re-did Orlando Scandrick’s contract
Posted by Josh Alper on April 22, 2015, 9:08 AM EDT
The Cowboys are working out without cornerback Orlando Scandrick, who has opted not to report to the team’s voluntary offseason program because he’d like a new contract from the team.
Scandrick is set to make $1.5 million in 2015, less than fellow corners Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, and is signed through 2018 after agreeing to an extension with the Cowboys late in 2013. Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones referenced that extension on Tuesday when discussing Scandrick’s situation and Jones’s feeling that the corner should be at work.
“He’s under contract, but not unlike a lot of players, they’d like to have more,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, via the Dallas Morning News. “Orlando is under contract. If something makes sense for us to add some years or do something then we’ll take a look at that, but we just re-did Orlando’s contract a couple years ago and he’s been a really good football player for us. He’s a leader on this team, and we certainly need him out here. In my mind, he should be out here right now, working out.”
Again, the workouts are voluntary so Scandrick isn’t required to be in Dallas any more than the Cowboys are required to give him a new contract because Scandrick performed well again last season. The Cowboys reportedly want to cut Carr’s $8 million salary for 2015, which might lead them to address Scandrick’s contract. That may take a while, though, because Dallas will probably need to add players at the position in the draft in order to make releasing Carr an option that doesn’t leave them shorthanded heading into next season.

He didn’t like the deal and came back and got it resolved. Cowboys realize his worth more than you do.
