So why didn't he just retire?

If the team doctors are saying he can't play, then it's really out of his hands.

As far as his passion, did you miss his shutdown performance on T.O.?

People are so quick to turn on players it amazes me.

Yep I did for the first half... He really did a great job in the second half sticking to the bench..... I am not turning on him. Your opinion is not the only correct or worthy opinion Matty. It is just MY observation that he might be lacking 100% desire to be in there even though when he is in there he is a great shutdown CB.

I never said anything about me being right and you wrong. You offered an opinion, and my opinion is I don't see any solid reasoning behind it. You see a guy who has no passion and no heart, I'm seeing a guy that's simply banged up to the point where he simply cannot play. And based on his track record, I think the guy has proven he will play hurt when he can.

I'm assuming he's not holding himself out of action. Should he go against the team doctor's determination that he can't play?

Well to me it just seems odd that it usually is another player with the more severe diagnosis, and Springs is usually given the probable or not as serious tag. Like this week for instance. Smoot is going to play even though he was a strong doubtful yesterday.

Dude don't get me wrong, I Love Springs. When he is on form he can take any elite WR out that you throw at him... I just would like to see him out there and these little calf problems are really frustrating me.

Little calf problem? Have you looked over his medicals or something? Just curious how you know it's just a little problem.

They are probably downplaying it. They have been describing it as a minor tweak and things of that nature.

Considering it kept him out of the opener and significant time since then, I think it's safe to say it's a little more than a minor thing. Or at the very least, it's a "minor injury" that he simply keeps reaggravating. And by playing perhaps it could worsen.

I'll say it then, Matty's right and DaveyFoSho is wrong, because this thread is...

RETARDED!

I'm not sure I understand Schneed. Can you make how you feel a little more clear?
