Wow, that Post article was really mind-boggling. Very sad to see LaVar treated this way. Interesting comment by another player who wisely chose to remain anonymous. Who would dare to speak out after seeing LaVar berated this way?

LaVar is in no way totally innocent in all of this and I am not implying that he is. But, this organization has treated a very talented and loyal player very poorly. Things have gotten so bad that they seem to be going out of their way to find fault with him. If he is so unstrustworthy on the field, then surely many, many other players are even more so. I always thought that they allowed him to return as a starter only grudgingly, after the public questioning and outcry became too much for them to deal with.

As for me, give me 11 defensive players with LaVar's talent and enthusiasm any day of the week, over "the system and the scheme". Sadly, I think things have gone too far to ever be smoothed over. LaVar will be gone and the Skins will be the biggest losers in all of this.

I hope he goes on to greater challenges and victories, whether it be in football or another field. LaVar, you are right, most of the fans love you. Too bad your owner and some of your coaches have no more use for you.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this organization (Snyder et. al) seem to have a knack for creating scenarios that lead to nasty departures for many star players. I'm not including Gibbs in this, because he has always treated his players with respect. But, I'm not sure I can say the same for some of his current assistant coaches.
