I, for one will be glad when his overrated ass is gone in favor of somebody who gives a sh*t.

Thomas and Kelly are the ones that have done nothing if you want to talk about production.

If ARE was making the vet min would you think differently?

I would to be honest, but I still wouldnt want him to be back there as a punt returner. He just doesnt put fear in anyone now.

I don't want him on returns either, he should have been replaced a while ago.

However as a receiver he's not a horrible #3 guy. Granted he is way overpaid but that's a function of how our FO works. If he were a vet min guy I think people would look at him differently.

Thomas and Kelly suck too. But that doesn't change the fact that Randle El has been a miserable free agent pickup. Can you think of one game since 2006 where we could collectively say, "thank goodness we signed Randle El, he REALLY came through for us today."

As far as his salary goes, it would be nice if we built this team with guys who are hungry, and eager to prove themselves as opposed to flashy guys who in the back of their minds know they will be well compensated no matter how they produce. Antwaan personifies that failed approach.

If ARE is a miserable pickup as you say, what does that make someone like Lloyd?

I think it is to early to say that. True they haven't done any thing of yet,but neither has any one on offense. JC has not done anything to make any one look good, he misses wide open recievers, wide open recievers drop catchable balls, the O-line cant open up a run lane, RB's cant find a hole when they do they run out of gas, JC doesn't have enough time to throw, while running the 2 minute offense thats when Zorn decides to jump in throw the timing off by calling plays. Zorn did finally get something right benching ARE or was it a diffrent set of eyes.
