Did anyone else watch Comcast postgame? (Lavar Related)

Whenever there was a Lavar thread in the past I'd reply with "Who is Lavar Arrington". Some would call me a Lavar hater but I really am not. I just couldn't understand why there such a big fuss made over this guy. I know he's a fan favorite and high draft pick but let me ask the question again: WHO IS LAVAR ARRINGTON?

A lot of you guys talk like he's Lawrence Taylor or even Ray Lewis. HE IS NOT. Not even close. What I have seen is a guy with a ton of potential who hasn't done much for us. Pro Bowls are overrated to the point that's it become a joke. And how guys can side with Lavar over Greg Williams is beyond me. I've been a Skins fan for like 25 years and I think Williams is the best defensive coach we've ever had. I might even say that our D the last couple years is the best I've ever seen. And now guys are questioning him cuz of Lavar? What has Lavar done? He sacked Aikman and returned a ball (tipped right into his hands) for a TD. So? Did he turn us into a top-5 D? Has he led us to the playoffs?

As for the consipracy theories - also makes no sense. How does keeping a fan favorite and huge chunk of our cap on the sidelines help the coaches at all? Does it make our organization look good when our biggest cap hit and supposed franchise player are sitting on the bench? No. If anything it makes us look stupid for a change. So I wonder - despite all these factors working in his favor, Lavar still can't earn his way onto the field?

Again I am not a Lavar hater. I'd also love to see him come back strong and contribute to this team. But there is no way I'm siding with LA on this one, not when GW and Gibbs are sitting on the other side.
