Re: 70Chip Presents the #56Fanatic "Does LaVar Deserve Better" Poll
I haven't weighed heavily on this decision mainly because there's so many factors that we don't know. We don't know how well LaVar will play with the offseason to strengthen his knee and get back into true "game shape". I believe he can be dominant if he can continue to learn the system and play the way GW asks him to play because God knows the talent is there.
That aside, we DON'T know if that would happen. Just from watching the games towards the end of the season, I saw LaVar (for the most part) be in position, make plays and generally be a good team player. Granted, he had a few lapses and missed tackles, but who didn't?
Because of all this uncertainty I voted "No", just because I fall into the same group of people who feel his contract is what keeps me from wanting him here and him deserving special treatment. In addition to that, anyone who shoots off at the mouth like he does, does not deserve special treatment.
Yes, LaVar, you're a charismatic guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve and someone who knows JUST all the right things to say. BUT, if you're in the headlines every other week with things you are implying, you don't deserve anything special.
