I wanted DT to succeed. I did. But, I can point to any number of moments where he had the opportunity to become THE guy, and he hasn't. If he does in Carolina, then oh well. He won't be the first or last guy to get cut, only to go somewhere else and succeed. He has had 3 training camps in which we needed a receiver to step up. He didn't. We have had two coaching staffs, one of whom was desparate for him to step up. He didn't. He had 36 regular season games to come in and knock the socks off the coach, 40 catches and 445 yds later -- He didn't.

Did anyone look at that catch by Armstrong yesterday or last week, and say - Man, DT would have done that! I didn't. Did anyone see Galloway's comeback to start moving the chains and think - DT has done that. I didn't.

I don't know why Roydell Williams is here, but the fact that DT didn't surpass him, to me says far more about him than about a HC who has made a living turning players into PLAYERS. I'll hold my tongue on MS' ego, but right now, we need players who want to play the game, and not athletes who want to play their games.

Good luck DT, shame you couldn't be what we all thought you could be.
