If you're gonna base your props off how much a player's name comes up, then I'd say the clear winners last night were John Gruden and Chris Simms...oh wait, they lost, nevermind.
I suppose you could say I'm a "Lavar worshipper" (not really, but I think the guy is good). I WILL gladly admit Marcus has been the man this SEASON. He rocks and I hope he has a long and prolific career with the Skins. For the GAME last night, Lavar and Marcus were DEAD EVEN.
I want to hear the "Lavar haters" admit (or at least prove otherwise) that Lavar had a game equal to Marcus'.
I really don't understand the big controversy here really. Marcus Washington is awesome - no doubt about it. Lavar WAS awesome and this season has been, what I'd call above average. Do we really have a problem with having lots of good linebackers? Or do we want to argue that Marcus Washington is the ONLY good linebacker and the others suck?
I for one and perfectly happy to have two of our LBs have an awesome game.

First of all, I too am happy they both had great games. But, based on when and where the plays were made I give the solid edge to Washington. That's just my opionion based on my observations. Washington came up big on the 4th down stop and appeared to me to be the man on the spot at the crucial times.
I am not trying to take anything away from the good things Lavar did. But this thread started out as another "Lavar is awesome and anyone who doubts it is stupid" thread and struck me as just one more thread on looking at the world through lavar colored glasses.
