[quote=SmootSmack;928542]So Robert Gallery announced his retirement today. 2nd pick overall back in 2004, I think. So I can't decide if he was a bust or just had a decent yet not great career[/quote]

Well, if he was drafted to be a guard, then I'd say his career was decent. However, he was drafted to be a franchise LT and in that aspect, he was a huge bust.

Oh dear. My thoughts go out to Andy Reid on this one, parents are never supposed to outlive their children. He's going to have some tough days ahead.[/quote]

Is this the same son that had all those drug problems? Shame it's ended this way. I feel for Andy and his family. :(

One of the greatest competitors the game has ever seen. Of course it's only natural he retire, having competed and played the game at its' highest level while also receiving a Super Bowl ring in the span of 4 seasons. There's nothing left for him to accomplish now, and without a doubt we'll be hearing about him in 5 years when his name comes up for a certain distinction, which will be him being broke and penniless after his modeling career goes south. Godspeed Devin Thomas.

This sounds pretty brutal.

He faces a long road to recovery, but it'll be a great story if he can come back from this.

Three 2nd round picks. To think who we could have drafted with those picks with the Shanny regime. Should have been three starters for us, instead we're left with a question mark made out of weed. F. Davis seems like he'll stick around if he doesn't become Ricky Williams.

Both players are out of the NFL now lmao.. although I can't laugh much because I actually thought they were decent draft picks. Kelly had a ton of potential as did dt.. sometimes u just get snakebit

In all seriousness, best of luck to DT on his next venture mentoring kids and giving back to his community.

Is he really doing that? Because if he is, I certainly can't hate on that.

Devin Thomas the most wasted 2nd round draft choice in Redskins history retires on top. He even gets to have a ring before he calls it quits. Man, I think less and less of Vinny Cerrato every time I hear about news like this.

Truly so. Let the cOuntdown begin- 4 years till Canton. Drafted in the 2nd round by respected and adored former GM VCerrato (known for his playful chuckling (and never cackling) laugh and amazing eye for talent). Idk what else to say just great guys doing great stuff.

Re: Around the NFL...Training Camp Style
 

Oh I forgot 2 things:
VCerrato the reason of the 49ers success and even the reason they won super bowls before he even worked for team.
DThomas, able to carry his team thru the season and into the super bowl all on his back.
