he got 11 sacks and a pro bowl. he may have complained, but still put up good #'s.
I dont want to get into what he did as a player. When he was healthy he was a good player, not the great player he was hyped up to be. He had a crappy last two years. i dont dispute that at all. But the dude isn't even on the team anymore, hasn't been for a couple of years and everyone still acts as if he's still here. When he was the face of the franchise there was not a more loved Redskin. I am, to a fault maybe, loyal the guy as some of us are. I was always loyal to B Mitch when he left, Monk, Mann, Manley, Mosley, clark all those guys when they left. In my heart they bleed burgandy and gold no matter where they finished their careers. And most of them have come back to be a part of the franchise they still consider themselves to be a part of. granted LA didnt' bring a winning team with him like all the previous guys I mentioned, but he was a part of this franchise for the better part of 6 six years.
