Rod is gone if we can't trade him we'll probably cut him, I think the team has made the decision to move on. And if Rod himself is looking to get out as it's been reported, it's obvious it's time for both sides to move on. He will probably benefit from the change of scenery. Of course I'm sure some probably think he's being 'pushed out'.
I'm tired of the few that make excuses for the guy. I don't know how many more drops or dumb penalties he has to have before we all agree he's an underachiever. With Rod it's all about potential, he's had 4 full seasons with us now, he had one 'good' season with just over 1000 yards, other than that he's underachieved and been wildly inconsistent. I don't know how anyone can deny that. His supporters want to keep pointing to his one good season, well how about the other 3 that were mediocre??
As for Coles and his toe, I'll stick with my claim that we're not doctors so who are we to say he 'needs' to have the surgery. If his doctors aren't telling him he needs it, who are we to say he needs it?? It's well known the surgery could potentially end his career, so if he has it and he's forced to retire, where does that leave us? I'd rather have Coles at less than 100% than not at all. Coles knows his situation and his body a hell of a lot better than we do, so why can't we respect his decision and leave it alone?
