You're right, but before I responded I went and looked through his posts and I just felt there was an antagonistic air to alot of them in the last couple of days, and took offense.
Sorry for jumping on you Irish... you're as entitled as anyone to express opinons freely, and I'm a bit of an ass for trying to stop you...
My personal opinion is that he was great from the moment he suited up in that first hall of fame game and impacted this team more than any other player in over a decade, and his career is complete. It may not be long enough for you, but it is a complete body of work, so when you say he MAY have had a great career, it feels like you're penalizing his work for his death, just as you seem to feel we're over glorifying his work because of his death.
I do agree that there are many other redskins that deserve the honor, but Right now I cant imagine going after a signature overprice free agent a la dieon and having him don the jersey...
