Did anyone else watch Comcast postgame? (Lavar Related)

I thought my little preface to that statement would clue some in that I in fact didn't feel that way. My point was that this is the lamest discussion that has ever graced this board. How anyone can even believe that Lavar isn't playing for something other than performance reasons really is beyond mind boggling. You'd have to make a lot of contrary assumptions in the face fact to believe that. You'd also have to think that all of the coaches are lying and that the beat reporters are completely clueless along with the other players. It would have to either be a complete coverup or everyone involved is stupid. That is not reasonable to assume. He isn't playing because he isn't that good for our defense. Why can't people leave it at that? WE KNOW NOTHING COMPARED THE GIBBS AND WILLIAMS. They aren't missing the boat on Arrington. They see him every day and up til now he sucks enough to sit his ass on the bench. It is simple!!!!!!!!! We're not talking about something that is difficult to understand. Why is there even discussion on this?

I just went back to read some of your responces to see what it was you asked me. and to tell you the truth, it doesn't matter what I would say you would have called me wrong, or this or that. You get frustrated if someone doesn't agree with you. I hate to be the one to tell you, but your point of view may not be right either. As alot of the players in the NFL,NBA,MLB,NHL say this is a business, and if it means not playing a certain player because you defense if playing good without him, so lets save some money here, and limit his movement. You can't make the probowl if your not on field. but thats a seperate issue. There is no loyalty to players, teams, and mostly to the fans of the games. Teams can cut players and not pay the bonuses or remaining portions of the contract,except signing bonus, and players can walk out on their deals. The only loyalty going on here is by the fans. We buy all the stuff and drink the REDSKIN cool-aid all day long. Forgive those of us who feel there should be some loyalty shown by this team, that feel they owe a certain player the respect they deserve. They did the same thing to Brian Mitchell years ago. He did exactly what everyone said he would do, play with teams in the NFC east so he could play against us twice a year. We are the reason this team sells out every single game, and are the best fans in the NFL. You would feel the same way if you worked for a certain company and you went out sick or what ever and when you came back they had somebody doing your job and just pushed you to the side doing something you didn't want to do, or something they are not paying you to do. It happens everywhere. Maybe I am a little touched personally by the way they are treating LaVar, so what. I heard the dejection in his voice, the way he wants to be out there fighting for this team. He has been here through all the crappy years, and always said from day one he wanted to be a part of this team for as long as he plays , and he wanted to be here when things start turning around. I just think he deserves a TRUE shot at playing.

#56 and railcon56, i agree with both of you 100%. this whole lavar thing screwed up. gibbs and co. are pushing lavar out the door because of all of his off season distractions. i just wish they would be honest about it instead of using the lame excuses of him "not fitting the scheme" or "his packages just were not called today"

and frplg just because our opinions are different than yours is no reason for you to act like an ass.

Can anyone find the signature violation on this page?

You're damn right I frustrated here. We have fans sitting here and without good reason or knowledge accusing people of lying and having personal vendettas for whatever reason. I have a problem with that. My main frustration comes from the fact that not one of those people has brought up a valid argument as to why Gibbs and Co. are wrong and Lavar is right. I would love to hear one! I am not saying that there aren't any but i haven't seen one presented here. The arguments are almost all based in conjecture and emotion. I have not once been this confused as to an opposing argument on this board in over a year. I truly baffles me as to why there is this ground swell of support for lavar and this apparent distrust of Gibbs and Co.
This is how I see the argument basically breaking down:
-Lavar was good when actually played like two years ago. He can rush the passer and plays very athletically. He made big plays and was dominant.
-He is 100% healthy now and is better than both Holdman and Clemons.
-Arrington had a dispute with the FO on his contract that created some bad blood as well as hard feelings about his injury situation last year
---All this equals to Arrignton not playing because they don't like some of the things he ahs done in the past and are willing to forego what he'd bring to the table by benching him.

Is this accurate?

I am not saying thats the way it is, but sometimes in this world thats what it comes down to. I think alot of us LaVar fans want to believe its the offseason stuff, and contract, not the fact that he cant play or cant pick up a system. I just keep going back to what Gibbs and GW said when they got here about how excited they were to have LaVar on the field in this attacking defense. Now things may have changed, but remembering the things that were said last year and how much praise he received last year for the way he was playing I find it hard to believe he would just forget how to play the D GW was asking for. Remember how much GW said after watching LaVar he was going to be a pro bowler every year, he was going to make LaVar great. Somebody with that much excitement and passion about an individual just doesn't go away, atleast I wouldn't think so. Its just hard to fathum him falling so far down the depth chart soley based on lack of knowledge or lack of discipline. Maybe it is, who knows

What did I say that makes me an ass?


ok, you were not being an ass, you were a little less than half of an ass.



just watched PTI and both wilbon and kornheiser say lavar being benched has nothing to do with his ability or inability to play defense in williams system. just thought i'd throw that out there.

wolfeskins, you need to change your sig to comply with board rules

this is stupid. paying lavar 60 million only to bench him is like marrying jessica simpson and not banging her...
