espn insider: barrows career could be over

in an article on espn insider, it said that barrow's career could likely be over. bubba tyer says that a season ending injury at this point in his career could end his career. what do you guys think. i cant post it cuz i dont know how on insider, wont let me highlight it.

There is a strong possibility Redskins MLB Mike Barrow's career could be over. As Washington's director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer recently said, Barrow's age, the severity of his knee injury and being out all season are indicators that his playing days could be in jeopardy.

All the more reason to re-sign Pierce long-term!!!
It's a shame though, because he had been relatively injury-free his entire career, but it appears that this combination of the type of injury and his age are just not in his favor. Also, even with Pierce as the starter, you couldn't get much better for a back-up MLB....which is what I think a lot of us were looking forward to next season.

Looks like we should have kept Jeremiah Trotter, huh?

Beemn: Probably not, everyone would still be complaining he sucks even though we didn't use him correctly his entire career in DC.

What would this do to the cap? Not sure how retirement works!

Pierce is a much better fit for this defense than Trotter will ever be, Pierce also outperformed him all season but Trotter made the Pro Bowl on his name alone.

Sucks for Barrow but at least Pierce developed nicely.

Matty - Trotter spends his time in the opponents backfield, it's what he's good at. Does he deserve the Pro Bowl? No. Did he have a fairly good season once he started, yes.

True it is what he's good at, but can he cover like Pierce? Who is the better all around LB right now? Who would you rather have?

I'd rather have Pierce of course, but I really think we missed the boat when Trotter WAS here as to how to use him. Pierce is great in coverage and he's a bit small, but besides that the prototypical MLB. Knows his assignments, tells others their assignments. I like him running the defense.
