I will be the first to admit that his act wore thin on me beginning around 2008 when everybody was the problem but him. I've been over it before, i won't argue it again on a thread about what is supposed to be his happy day
Aint that always the way with RB's? They all think they're the next Larry Brown, they all think they can go on to another team, and they rarely manage it.

Damn rare... IMO one of the reasons Curtis Martin made it into the Hall is that he managed to be great on multiple teams, over an impressive span.

Unfortunately RB is the most "disposable" position in the game. They use you up and throw you away, smart players choose other positions, but confident cement heads want to tote the rock. It's too bad really.
