Arrington Arbitration Finally Settled!

crazycanuck, i respect all the work you do towards helping us fans understand the salary cap, but from what you just said i think you are a lavar hater. all lavar hater's claims are is that he hasn't lived up to the hype, he's overrated, he's never done anything to help the team. you guys have nothing to complain about, you don't do what he does, you don't make the kind of money he does, and your opinion isn't gonna make him better or worse. being a 3 time pro bowler isn't something your average player does. he arguably made the play that turned around our 2001 season.

Those salary cap sheets are just amazing, CC can't be thanked enough for his hard work in making this site unique and special

How is that even relevant?

Well none of us are here to make the players better or worse really. Definitely not worse (unless they're wearing blue or green). But if we're not allowed to give our opinions about players than why bother having this site at all?

Yeah LaVar's INT/TD against the Panthers was a great play that sparked a nice run. But at the end of the day the team finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs and it was 4 years ago. It's a "what have you done for me lately" league and what has LaVar done lately?

I think he's going to have a monster season. He and Washington are going to do some serious damage from the outside, but I think fans have a right to be a bit frustrated with him. And a lot of the frustration comes simply from the fact that we've seen flashes of just how good he can be.

i know, it's not something a lot of people can do, and i was merely saying i respect that he takes his own time to do that for us.

your right on that one, it isn't that relevant. i was just trying to support my argument.

that's true, that's what this site is for, it was a mistake on my part.

lavar hasn't done much of anything lately. i just get tired of all the criticisim going his way. if he read everything skins fans said about him on the web, he'd be asking for the first plane out of washington. i just think because he is a part of our team, we should be supporting him through his injury problems (not his money grievance), and try to look on the positive side.

You'd be surprised what he reads.

Mooby, I'm actually not a Lavar hater at all. I like the guy and I think he has the potential to be a great player. I'm just tired of spending so much time talking about a guy who hasn't been on the field in a year and a half. There's always something new with him whether it's complaining about his surgery or his $6.5M grievance. It's becoming a never ending soap opera and I'm just tired of it. Wake me up when Lavar hits the field and starts hitting quarterbacks again.

The guy is our supposed team leader, but I dont really see it. He sits out all year and our defense improves with him on the sideline. I'm not saying we wouldn't be even better without him, but this guy is our biggest cap expenditure and it's starting to feel like a big waste of money. If we could go back in time would anyone on this site still sign Arrington to that monster deal? Personally I saw more out of Marcus Washington in one year than I've seen from Lavar in five.

Look I hope like all of you to see Lavar back on the field and causing havoc asap. But until that time I just dont feel like following this soap opera anymore.

And just because I do the cap sheets doesn't mean you have to apologize for cursing me out! I'm fair game like everyone else.

...new cap sheets coming soon.
