Lavar has been misused...

Harsh, but deserved. He has never bothered to develop any consistent technique or learn the intricacies of defensive assignments because he was always able to rely on his athletic ability and speed to make up for those shortcomings. But as soon as his knee got hurt and he became a step slower, that athleticism wasn't there to bail him out, and his shortcomings have been exposed.

If Lavar's speed is there, he can probably continue to do damage on the field. But you can't pay a guy that much money when he's starting to have balky knees if he's not going to be technically sound. As soon as something starts hurting him and his speed dwindles, he becomes totally useless. Speed and nastiness are his only assets; if he loses them he's going to play terribly, book it.

Some guys actually make up for their lack of speed by being smart and working hard (Lemar Marshall). But Arrington is the opposite. Guys like that aren't worth the money we're paying him.
