Ease up, this isn't a bad thread at all. I think a more well rounded thread would've been to look at the players we cut & ask the same question. I think some of the guys that were cut - Betts, Rock & ARE could be contributing on this team. After the blocked punt v. St. Louis I was missing Rock. When Portis went out I was missing Betts.

As for ARE, don't get caught up on his contract, can't blame him for taking the money. He did about as much as could be expected of him here. We overpaid for a #3 slot reciever. As a slot reciever in the middle of the field he made plays. Not spectacular, but he knew how to get open in the short to mid routes.

I agree w/the original poster, ARE is better than some of the guys on this team. I understand the cuts that were made back in the spring though, the new staff was trying to upgrade, change culture, etc. The only thing that surprised me about ARE being cut was that he seemed like a good team player that would help a new staff.
