good riddance edit: not because he's a "thug" or whatever, because he's fat and lazy for some reason now
It's a shame his career had to end this way because he was a stud in 04. You hate to see someone with such a bright future get derailed by an injury. However, from a purely football perspective, he was of no use to the team. Not nearly the guy he was in 04. Pretty sad really.
DD's pretty reliable on stuff like this (not saying reliable on everything, just stuff that's this serious). He knows his site is respected so I would say it's pretty much true.
