The guy is a head case. As long as he is a head case, he will be no good to anyone, and will continue to move from team-to-team until he has nowhere to go. You are way too young to remember Joe Don Looney. He was ALSO a "beast", massively strong and talented. The reason you probably have heard nothing about him was exactly what I have been talking about. He was a head case, and wore out his welcome everywhere in the NFL. Boston has done exactly that with 2 teams and is on his third. According to some reports, some of the same crap is starting again. We'll just have to wait and see if he is ready to grow up and act like a PRO.
As far as facts, that is what I deal in, not in emotion, which seems to be what is driving you.

Your throwback mentality to the game is nice, but I think if you look at the "facts" (as you are apparently deeply wedded to), you would see that there are many head cases in the NFL year in and year out who are productive despite their lack of mental toughness. Sure, they're not Hall of Famers, but I think Joe Horn and Terrell Owens, two of the biggest headcases in the game, had very productive seasons last year. Boston needs a good situation to blossom (QB/offensive system), and while I don't think he has that in Miami, he could certainly be effective on any numbers of teams barring injury. Your point specifically with respect to head cases lacks merit, and your reliance on demeaning phrases such as "kiddo" and several references to the previous poster's age do not necessarily make you any more correct. They make you seem angry, condescending, and desperate. Your post seems more driven by emotion than any of the others I have read.
